PSDP leader, Liwen Duval-Portier, retires.

The PSDP founder and former premier of Kanjor, Liwen Duval-Portier, has retired at 68 years old. While many have criticized Duval-Porter as being ineffective whilst in office and have noted the lack  of legislation passed during his seven years in office, many credit him with inspiring change and progress in Kanjor and offering steady leadership to the PSDP over its 17 year history. 


Duval-Portier's retirement announcement. 

The PSDP has elected Gérard Rodier as Duval-Portier's successor. Rodier served as Minister of Justice under the PSDP-PÑM government. As for Rodier's replacement for the candidate for the Ministry of Justice, the 34 year old Maxine Raoult will take his place. 

While the majority of the party remains optimistic about Rodier's leadership, the party's right-wing is skeptical. While not a Metzist, Rodier is further left than Duval-Portier. The centre-left element of the PSDP, particularly Food & Agriculture minister Paul Côté, have expressed concern that Rodier will drive away centrist voters and allow room for "violent revolutionaries" within the party. 

Whatever the case, we wish Rodier the best of luck in his leadership and hope he helps shape a better future for all of Kanjor.
