Birth of the Gaduri National People's Party; HDP and Reform merge in an attempt to consolidate the Gaduri Right.

After months of intra party cooperation, the Reform Party of Gaduridos and the Hosian Democratic Party have formally merged into a single, unified party. The Gaduri National People's Party (PNPG). With key party members from both party's, the Occidente Conference was held and resulted in the merger. A myriad of concessions were offered to both parties, as even despite both being in the Gaduri Right, they still are vastly different parties. But, ultimately, a common platform was agreed upon. The PNPG will formally stand for nationalism, and promoting a Gaduridos First mindset, as opposed to the PSSG's Pan-Seleyanism, formally stand for Hosian Democratic values and moral government, and formally stand for a social market economy, rejecting laissez-faire economics, respecting the necessity of the welfare state and state intervention, but prioritizing small businesses and free market options. 

Almost immediately after a common platform was agreed upon, and ratified, the PNPG set out to elect it's first chairman, as Luisa Alcabú was agreed upon as an interim chairwoman of the party. With several internal factions, both from the former HDP and Reform looking to convince delegates to give their faction the mandate, it was agreed upon to nominate Raul Galán as chairman, as his advocacy for the merger has built credibility with centrists in the newly formed party, and is palatable to former Reform members, and is acceptable to former Hosian Democrats thanks to his support for Hosian Democracy. As such, Galán will effectively have the ability to mold the PNPG into his vision of a "People's Conservative Party", and try to unite the right to oppose the PSSG. Despite this, however, the Right does still need to contend amongst itself as the Liberal Democratic Union (ULD) is still a right wing liberal party, and the Free Soil Party (PSL) is holding the nationalist right firmly under their grasp, as the Gaduri State Party (PEdG) remains a niche but notable actor in the Gaduri Right.

Whatever the case, the formation of a moderate, nationalist, conservative alternative to the PSSG and it's effects are yet to be seen and likely won't until next year's elections.
