TIRALLE - The governing body of the PLS has announced on Tuesday that Julie Muselier will be the party's candidate for President of the Republic in the December 5740 election, and that she'll be joined by former Health Minister Callum Hawkes as her running mate. Madame Muselier was, for a long time, the Minister of Foreign Affairs under PMs Des Ambrois and Doumerc. Since 5737, she is the Minister of Commerce and Industry, a change in role that was necessary when former President Aimard-Bélanger was appointed in the Foreign Ministry. She is considered one of the most known and popular PLS politicians, a popularity that has grown since she became Deputy Leader of the PLS in 5736. In a social media post she wrote:

I am very proud to have been selected as PLS's candidate for President. I will run a positive and inclusive campaign capable of representing the values of solidarity and internationalism my party stands for. I am honored to be joined in the ticket by a capable former colleague, a representative of Rildanor's very important Mordusian community, Dr. Callum Hawkes. Together, we will seek the votes of our fellow Rildanorians.

In a note, PLS's Secretary-General and Deputy Prime Minister Olivier Brassard said that the PLS aims at securing a place in the second round of voting, but has also added that if this objective won't be reached, the PLS will support incumbent President Lahaye for re-election. Madame Muselier will officially kick-off her campaign next month, after the Legislative Elections are held.
