Elections are now underway for the newly created position of Chancellor, the executive of the Kinsman Federal government. Tensions are high and excitement is abound as the people get ready to vote for their own leader for the first time in Kinsman history. It is the responsibility of the people to choose someone with the willpower, personal strength, natural leadership, and drive to properly direct this country into a new era.

Competition for the election is fierce, the candidates ranging from Chieftains to former Confederate officials to members of various religious organizations. Each one would bring a very unique and differentiated style of leadership and would alter the direction of the nation forever; the people have a difficult choice as they make their way to the polls.

With Slim Majority, Friholm Elected Chancellor

Posted Image

The nation's first elected Head of State has just been announced: with a slim majority, Björn Nyrasman Friholm has been voted in as the Kinsman Federation's first Chancellor! He is pictured above celebrating with his long-time friend Nefjólfr Ostarasman Larsen, who had dropped out of the race mid-campaign in order to support Friholm. The new Chancellor made his acceptance speech today in Hilmir, with excerpts below:

"I am glad that my folk have chosen rightly with my being elected, I will only ever do the best I am capable of for the betterment of our Kin and our country. I thank the Chieftains for their support, and to my friend Nefjólfr for all the help he provided in my campaign. To my supporters and competitors alike: do not expect a gravitational flip or paradigm shift in your lives, I am not here to invoke groundbreaking change, merely to serve to the best interests of my Kinsmen and our country. I do not seek to open the floodgates to foreign immigration, I do not seek to weaken our military, I do not seek to rid our people of the very traditions and beliefs that make us who we are, I only seek to enact minor alterations to our policy in these matters so that we may shift our focus away from a past riddled with dark spots and to a bright, new future of plenty and of betterment to our Kin. Some changes will seem odd, others trivial, but every action I will take will solely be for the benefit of my people and our country."

Official results are below:
