Deltaria

[Rogue]

Branovice - In what is considered the first true test of the Horvat administration, the Conservative Democratic Union has decisively won the provincial elections. These were the first provincial elections where both the provincial legislatures and the newly created provincial governorships were "up for grabs". In what is considered a landslide, Horvat's KDU has won the governorship in 3 of the 4 provinces, only losing in Usmarea where the Ushalanden National Party won both the governorship and legislative control. 

In Doraki and the Crownlands the KDU won both governorship and legislature, while in Várdissza the party won the governorship but only won a plurality of seats, likely having to govern with the local Disuvan People's Party. While Deltaria has been organized into a unitary state since the end of the civil war, the provinces still hold major influence over local issues, having the powers and responsibilities over the regional economy, regional public transport, spacial management in their region and water management. Since the latest reforms by Horvat, provinces are also allowed to install their own taxes and subsidies, allowing them to guide policy in certain directions. Their significance is limited on a national level, but this win for the KDU does indicate what polls have predicted in recent months. Prime Minister Horvat and his party are popular in the country, reflected in results such as these. 

Local representatives and governors are to be installed in their provincial capital next month, allowing them to serve their province for the next 4 years.
