This morning the Office of the Director of the Revolutionary People's Assembly has given a press statement announcing the unfortunate early passing of the Director of the RPA, Damir Zholdashev. According to public information, Zholdoshev has been partaking in his aviation hobby in a mountain range in northern Xsampa, where his plane has crashed into the side of a mountain. The reason for the crash is yet unknown, but failure in the mechanical workings of the plane's motor is assumed to be the case. Authorities have ruled out sabotage.
Zholdoshev was well known for his enthusiasm for flight and aviation and has frequently flown across various mountainous areas of Dovani, including Bianjie and Xsampa. On every flight he was accompanied by a safety crew on the ground but preferred to keep them further away, as in his own words he 'loved the solitude of the mountain air'. According to the crew, the plane's motor caught fire, followed by rapid descent and crash. Immediately forces of the Ministry of Security and Defence have secured the area and evidence, even despite protests of local authorities.
Damir Zholdoshev was widely perceived as the second most powerful person in Utaristan, right after President and General Secretary Abenanka Ibraev. Zholdoshev has managed to amass considerable power, despite his official position as Director of the Revolutionary People's Assembly being considered effectively ceremonial. "What Zholdoshev really was, was an expert political operator. He has managed to twist the agenda of the Assembly in such a way that efforts he opposed basically withered away. But he wouldn't be able to do that with just his directorial position alone, no. He also had to make many friends across many cliques and factions, and apparently he was very good at that. Too good, we now see." Says Khudayberdi Abdullayev, expert in Utaristani politics.
According to Abdullayev, it is apparent that Ibraev or someone close to her is responsible for Zholdoshev's death. "He was a power-hungry man but also a true believer, a deadly combination, one might say. He has many times, quite publicly, spoken out against the renewables deal with Kalistan (editorial note: Grant from Kalistani Green Terra Initiative to a consortium of Utaristani energy industry cooperatives. The Utaristani government officially denies any involvement other than standard financial support of any renewable energy project as part of the 5721-5731 economic plan.) When these criticisms began to be widely known, I thought it was Zholdashev preparing ground to oust Ibraev, and clearly I wasn't alone in thinking that, since as you see, he is now dead."
Following confirmation of his death, an extraordinary session of the Revolutionary People's Assembly was called. In it the RPA has elected Salomat Soliyeva, a relatively unknown figure, as its new Director. According to what little we know, Soliyeva is a firm supporter of Ibraev and is unlikely to be a danger or even relevant, as she has much less influence than her predecessor.
