Last night the Lotus Party-Nationalist Coalition was re-elected, denying the National Democratic-Conservative Coalition another majority mandate. The election was triggered after Chancellor Wu denied the National Democratic-Conservative cabinet arrangement. The Lotus Party-Nationalist Coalition was returned to the National Conference with 352 seats, a gain of 14 seats from when they were first elected in 4258, most of which were gained by the Nationalist Party under Wen Bataru. The gains made by the Nationalist Party are expected to be reflected in the new cabinet.

Speaking to a crowd of supporters Wu Hán declared victory and thanked those who supported the Lotus Party:

All of my colleagues are incredibly moved and humbled by the trust you, the people of Indrala, have once again placed with us. *Wu tears up as the crowd cheers*

For this and for so many other privileges which this country has given us, we thank you. *Wu bows*

Referencing the term he first used in his victory speech given six years ago, Wu declared that "together we are experiencing a re-ignition of the Indralan national spirit, the new Indralan century has only just begun!" Wu listed off the achievements of the last coalition government, including the restoration of funding to post-secondary institutions, the Bank of Indrala Act, the Green Fuel Subsidy and the FIlial Piety Act among others as examples of the progress his government is making toward the "restoration and purification" of the State of Indrala.

In closing, Chancellor Wu had this to say:

There are those that say that our dreams for Indrala are too big. That they are not feasible or responsible. Together, we dare to look this cynicism directly in the eye, and have faith that the best has yet to come.
We dare to believe in Indrala.
Thank you and goodnight!
