Tragedy Strikes the KPP
Tilney elected new leader, rebranding begins
Vrassa City
17th May, 4076
The Kalistan Passion Party leader William Killams has tragically passed away at his home in Vrassa City aged 58. Killams had been leader for 18 years and had overseen the KPP entering the cabinet with Eleanor Tilney as Justice Minister. Killams funeral was very well attended with tributes from nearly all other parties. The President of the Republic Owen Rushmoore paid his respects to William Killams who he called a desirable politician. He said: 'William Killams was a good politician and one to be desired. There is no doubt he will be remembered as a passionate leader who fought for what he believed in.' Luca Curti from the Labour Party stated he had 'complete admiration for Mr Killams and his ability to stand up for his principles whilst leading his party, everybody in the Labour Party sends their condolences to Killams' family, friends and supporters.'
Killams death resulted in a hotly contested leadership election, with six candidates stepping forward. Deputy leader Pasil May was one of the favourites to win along with Eleanor Tilney, a well thought of figure in the KPP ranks. Also standing were veterans Bill Marchan and Dita Vanser along with rookie leadership contenders Louise Grander and Nicholas Fallero. The eventual victor and new leader of the KPP was former Justice minister, Eleanor Tilney. Ms Tilney, 37, won after the 3rd round of voting beating runners up Pasil May and and Bill Marchan. Ms Tilney, a former lawyer, joined the KPP 6 years ago and today she has promised widescale changes within the party in order for it to progress. Ms Tilney said; 'It is an honour to be elected leader, I will look to build on the success that my predecessor William had. However I will be looking to rebrand the party and bring in widescale changes in order to improve the party.'

Eleanor Tilney addressing the crowd.
Eleanor Tilney first major action was to reshuffle her shadow cabinet and rebrand the party to the Kalistan Unionist Party. Ms Tilney said;
Among the cabinet changes, the five other candidates who were unsuccessful receive shadow cabinet positions. The last remaining original member of the shadow cabinet, Jezza Hartsos remains as Shadow Health and Social Services spokesperson. Veteran Bill Marchan has replaced Pasil May as deputy leader. Marchan thanked May for her efforts and dedication in the role.

Eleanor Tilney first major action was to reshuffle her shadow cabinet and rebrand the party to the Kalistan Unionist Party. Ms Tilney said;
Quote:This shadow cabinet reshuffle has allowed the KUP to invoke fresh ideas and hopefully improve our position for the upcoming election. We have decided to rebrand as the Kalistan Unionist Party. We believe in a strong Kalistan and a strong Kalistan requires a strong Union. We are better together and worse apart. We will commit to protect Kalistan's place in the various unions we are in at the present. However we will be staying towards the centre right of the political spectrum.
