PSSG expands its majority for yet another quinquenio, as the centre-right opposition crumbles
12 January 5658



As the first votes started coming in, the already expected result was also confirmed. A social democratic blowout. The party of the Prime Minister Ximona García, Seleyan Social Democratic Party of Gaduridos, as anticipated by pundits and vote projections, have won yet another five-year term in office, with 143 seats, gaining eight compared to the last election, and 15 more than required for a simple majority. Following the announcement of the first results, PM García thanked the voters for their trust, and added that "the fight for all Gaduri people does not stop".

Meanwhile, on the right, a complete collapse. Transitioning from a governing coalition of two parties to an electoral coalition of two parties, more than half the size of the PSSG in just five years, was certainly not what leaders of either the Reform or Radical parties intended, but voters chose differently. A sudden turn to the right, betrayal of liberal and pro-common man policies, which led to the major breakout. Both leaders of the coalition announced their resignations, taking personal responsibility for their respective parties' losses and worsening results. "The reality is that CxG has lost today. And it is a great tragedy for all of us in the coalition, and a great tragedy for our nation", said Radical Party leader Ángel Villagran. "But, voters made their choice, and I have called Madam García and congratulated her on the re-election".

According to the sources in the Radical Party, many members have been growing discontent with the coalition previously, and the election result has only increased opposition to continuing CxG; however, party leadership refuses to listen to the dissident voices, leading many prominent liberals to consider leaving and possibly joining MAP or PDH, both of whom had very good nights, with newcomer Popular Agrarian Movement entering National Congress with 9 seats, while Hosian Democrats won 24 constituencies, gaining 4 more, in comparison to the 5653 election. Both parties have been gaining votes from the disappointed RAD and PRG voters.

Now, with a parliamentary representation more than enough to comfortably lead a stable government for the next five years, social democrats under Ximona García will continue their popular reforms to support the common Gaduri citizens, expand their rights, and keep reforming the nation.
