The first election in Kinsman history is now underway, and has been declared as one of the most historic moments in the nation's history. According to the Constitution of 45Æ, declaring the nation to be the Kinsman Federation, elections will be held for the lower house, called the Federal Convention, of the legislative branch, called the Federative Council. This is the first time in the nation's history that the people will be constitutionally and officially represented in their government, a move away from isolationism and imperialism that will surely bring a new era to the Kindreds.

Three parties have registered for the ballot in the federal-level elections with a significant amount of independent candidates who have chosen not to affiliate themselves with any party. It remains to be seen on whether the people will vote on the basis of such membership with a political party or on the basis of their individual policies.

International watchdog groups have published reports illuminating their concern on behalf of the international community on the legitimacy, legality, and transparency of the first Kinsman election. Those concerns have been responded to fully as a full oversight committee has been formed consisting of delegates from the Jogen Confederacy, who have taken it upon themselves to ensure the Kindreds' transition into democracy is done smoothly.

This election will not only determine which of the three parties will have legitimate and consensual over the federal government but it will also install one of the party's leaders to the new position of Chairman. The Chairman administrates the government and all government proceedings, responsible for ensuring that the new government will operate smoothly, the nomination of department heads, and to take up the Chancellor's responsibilities in the case that he becomes unable to exercise his power.

Elections for Chancellor are also underway, with Chief Björn Nyrasman Friholm (whom has taken the lead in cultural transition with the creation and addition of his family name, a common practice in foreign lands) being the preferred candidate reportedly favored by all parties.

Góðr Receive Highest Portion of Votes, Fail to Gain Majority

Posted Image

The results are in for the first ever election in Kinsman history, and just hours ago it was announced that Vígfastr Baldursman Storholm of the Góðr Party will become the first elected Chairman in our nation's history. The new Chairman had this to say:

"I thank my people for giving me this chance to change our nation for the better, to advance us to the future of modernity and find ourselves a proper place in the realm of internationalism. I assure you that not I nor my party will pass up this opportunity to improve our nation's quality of life, our economy, our standing in the world, and the negative perception that so taints our country since the days of the earliest Confederacy. We must move on from our dark history of oppression, of war, of imperialism, and of dictatorship. Now is the time for us to move forward, to liberate ourselves from a dark past, and create a new nation that will be the envy of the world!"

While the Góðr failed to gain a full majority in the Federal Convention, many independents have voted in favor of Storholm's ascension to the government position, a trend of support that is likely to continue say analysts.

Final results are below.

Party - Votes - Seats

Góðr - 49.5% - 99
Land eða Virðing - 23.4% - 47
Nyrstyrkr - 19.5% - 39
Independent - 7.1% - 14
Abstain - 0.5% - 1 (empty seat)
