The Reform Party of Gaduridos has held its party congress, with several faces looking to win over delegates and several factions looking to secure enough leverage to change the party's manifesto and platform. Between the People's Conservatives of Galán, the "Principled Right" with Zacarías Gaos (who have favoured integration with the PSL), it's largely been a race between the two as moderates have rallied behind Galán and more vocal right wing elements in Reform have rallied behind Gaos to determine the party's future. After hours of debate and anticipation, the delegates voted to make Raul Galán the new chairman of the Reform Party, and adopt his vision of People's Conservatism. 

Almost immediately afterwards, the Principled Right walked out, with Gaos denouncing the "liberal takeover of Reform" and endorsing the PSL as the only true conservative party for Gaduridos. Despite this, Galán has pledged that "Reform will reform", and rather unsurprisingly, the HDP has congratulated Galán on his victory, with the HDP reportedly looking forward to closer cooperation between the two parties. And cooperate they most likely will as Galán has made it no secret that a merger with the HDP will be necessary for the Gaduri Right to survive against the PSSG. Whatever the case, as Galán looks to clean house, expelling more reactionary members of Reform and changing the manifesto to be more palatable to a "People's Conservative Party", it certainly seems like Galán is determined to see the Gaduri Right be united, even if it means a sacrifice for Reform.

In any case, the PSL has received a slight boost from Reforms right wing exodus as the PSL has of course, denounced Galáns chairmanship, citing his victory to be a "damaging blow to right wing unity". But, it seems all eyes are on the much anticipated merger as it'll have many questions. Whether it'll be a secular or Hosian Democratic party, whether it'll commit to laissez-faire economics or a middle ground, how much nationalism it'll embrace, and of course, who will lead it.
