SPECIAL REPORT: Elections Underway in Zogradia
by short
Though the election for Zogradi Prime Minister will not be starting until 3.Jul.2016, 7 candidates in the nation's four major political parties (Royalist, Democratic Socialist, Green and Conservative), as well as 1 Independent have decided to enter the race. In this short piece, we're going to go through who exactly these people are. The primaries will be going from 3.Jul-28.Jul, and the general election will go from 29.Jul-15.Aug.
Dmitry Zhubinov (R-Nasrat)
A former senator from the province of Nasrat, Zhubinov is a firm supporter of the Zogradi royal family, and stands on a platform of outlawing republicanism in Zogradia, much like what was already done in the UK. His slogan is "In the Katra [king] we trust".
Shaski Inara (R-Natsr)
Current representative from Natsr, Inara, a staunch liberal, hopes to become Zogradia's third female PM, and fourth Ikida PM. She stands for boosting Ikida culture in Zogradia by making Ikida the dominant language, instead of English, by having schools and institutions teach Ikida as a "primary language". Though she has received huge backlash for this, due to concerns regarding foreign relations, she is steadily gaining support in Zogradia's smaller provinces. Her slogan is "Here for the natives".
Gene Karbala (R-Ashden Island)
Karbala, former Ashden senator, calls for an end to Zogradi neutrality in world affairs, and to rebuild the army to take on world threats, including Daesh and the DPRK. His slogan is "Let's do this!".
Juka Iyana (DS-Nemtel)
Iyana, former mayor of Nemtel City, and current governor of Nemtel, draws much of his inspiration for his campaign from Senator Bernie Sanders in the United States, though he's said to have more extreme motives and solutions. Iyana is running to break up big banks, and drive out large corporations in favor of smaller individual corporations. His slogan is "I want YOU!"
Ayna Salaki (DS-Tashnir Island)
Another female candidate, Salaki aims to distribute wealth from richer provinces to support smaller provinces, having grown up in a small, poor town only a few kilometers east of the city of Tashnir, which she says is also "underfunded in many areas". Her overall goal is to put an end to poverty and improve the infrastructure of troubled areas in smaller cities. Her slogan is "Let's fix the nation!", and she has already been endorsed by Lord Kyon Min Su.
Mohammed Ahwaz (G-Al Nashra)
Ahwaz, a staunch environmentalist, proposes tearing down Zogradia's already small suburbs, and encouraging maximum density in cities, as to maximize green spaces in the greenbelts of Zogradia's cities. His highly criticized slogan is "Make Zogradia green again!".
Dmitry Viktorov (C-Yakadu)
Current owner and CEO of Viktorov Inc., a development corporation based in Yakadu, Viktorov runs with the idea of "treating Zogradia like a business", which hasn't so far sat well with most of Zogradia, and he is seen to be often offensive in his remarks, and has been charged with claims to racism that have so far turned out false. His slogan is "Viktorov is here".
Ishmael Haslam (I-Kovel)
Haslam, an immigrant from Oman, who has recently received his citizenship, stands for immigrant's rights, though many Zogradis criticize this, as most don't see any problems with Zogradia's immigration system. His slogan is "10 years to citizenship?! That's ridiculous!".
