Electing a first-time President can be scary, but Europeia took the plunge this week, electing Cerian Quilor on two ballots over fellow first-timers Seven Deaths and Notolecta. Cerian and SD tied on the first ballot, with Notolecta running behind. Notolecta's endorsement and a 48-hour flurry of additional campaigning before the second ballot pushed Cerian over the top by a comfortable 22-15 margin in the decisive second ballot.
Cerian is an active citizen whose political career seemed moribund until he was tapped two terms ago to serve as Minister of Foreign Affairs. In a cordial campaign that focused more on the candidates' capabilities than on major policy differences, voters ultimately placed more weight on Cerian's record of consistently high activity than Seven Deaths' extensive ministerial resume. Notolecta, the region's current Chief Justice, joined the race late and never gained as much traction as his opponents.
Cerian's running mate, Drecq, is the new Vice President. Like Cerian, Drecq has served previously in the Senate and Cabinet, but is taking his first turn in high office. Drecq has received high praise this term for his service as Speaker of the Senate.
Under Europeian law, both Cerian and Drecq must resign their Senate seats. The region swiftly held a special election to fill those seats, with Senate rookie Remsol Greyjoy and Europeian veteran and former President PASD emerging victorious.
