[b]Delegate Simone Republic Elected in The North Pacific[/b]
[i]by Comfed[/i]
MAGICALITY CITY - Simone Republic has been elected Delegate of The North Pacific in a hotly contested election which ended on May 11. He faced two strong opponents, Francois Isidore and Dreadton. After a closely-fought campaign, Simone Republic and Francois Isidore received 42 (48.84%) and 29 (33.72%) first-choice votes respectively, and advanced to the second round, while Dreadton was eliminated with 15 (17.44%) first-place votes. When Dreadon's voters' second preferences were distributed, the final tally was 50 (58.14%) votes for Simone Republic and 36 (41.86%) for Francois Isidore.
In the concurrent races, Chipoli was elected as Vice Delegate with 75 (96.15%) votes to Queroquestan's 3 (3.85%) - the latter did not campaign. Meanwhile, Marlducro successfully challenged incumbent Speaker Arawi, receiving 46 (61.33%) votes to Arawi's 24 (32.00%). Terre des Riches also campaigned for Speaker and received 5 (6.67%) votes; although they were not able to match the totals of their two more experienced opponents, many observers noted their enthusiasm. Terre des Riches has since been appointed as a deputy speaker.
