Newly elected leader of the Republicans Xuan Shuren

October 21, 4275

Tian'an: The Republicans held their leadership vote in the Wung Pai Conference Hall of Tian’an on Thursday. The hall was filled with bright orange balloons and flowers, as well as a candle memorial for Song Yi. The party members gathered to vote for the only two living leadership contestants left: Justice Critic Xuan Shuren and Orphan Deng Jia. A slightly somber mood made the air feel heavy in the convention hall, but after each candidate made their final pitch to voters with a showcase and debate, it was time to vote.

Members voted online as well as through the mail in the week preceding the convention, however the party wanted live voters in the hall to make the results more captivating. This, as well as a vibrant light show and stunning visuals can be credited to Jai Pen, the media director for the Republicans.

I wanted to make this convention three things: Sexy, Respectful, and Modern… I have accomplished all three.

At 6:00pm the results were revealed, and Xuan Shuren was announced as the new leader of the Republicans with 87% percent of the vote to Deng Jia’s 13%. Cheers erupted and fireworks went off in the harbour of Tian’an where the overflow of party members were viewing the results on a large screen. Xuan Shuren’s wife and kids rushed onto the stage to congradulate and hug their father who becomes the successor to Song Yi’s legacy. Mr. Shuren then gave a compelling speech about the direction he will take his party.

Thank you for your overwhelming support. I love you all. I want to first thank my wife and kids for loving me and showing me why I do what I do, for without them, I am nothing. Second, I need to give thanks to the most influential person in my life. My colleague and dear friend, Song Yi. She came to my door one morning and asked me to my face if I wanted to change this country. Those were her words. At first, I was reluctant, but once our kids started screaming with joy at the sight of Auntie Song, I couldn’t resist. Song Yi and I go back a long way. We have always been close friends. We didn’t always agree, and she was the first to tell me that, but I had no regrets of working with such a precious soul. In her will she asked for me to carry on her fight for the working men and women of Indrala, and that is what I will do. I will fight with my blood and bone for our people. The first thing we need to do as a party is resist the corruption and privilege in the National Conference. What sets our party apart from the rest is our resiliency to corruption. We genuinely care about the people, they do not. I need to make something clear. Our party is completely opposed to the monarchy. 100%. We will fight it with every tool at our disposal. We will also begin the slow process of shrinking government and empowering the working class. We will advocate for farmers and every other hard-working mother and father. We will clean our air and green our forests. We will give liberty to our people and arm them to defend themselves from vicious attacks that have threatened the very humanity of our country. If Song Yi or any of her staff had a firearm, she would still be alive.

Friends, I ask you to join me, join the Republicans, join our loving family and fight for the suffering people of Indrala! Thank you!

The convention ended with roars of cheers and a standing ovation. The music from the convention hall could be heard for several city streets. The Republicans will now return to the National Conference with a new leader.

More to come…
