Elections in New Batavia - big losses for IRP
LUCERNE, TODAY: This evening, the electoral commission announced the results of yesterday's parliamentary elections. The Islamic Revolutionary Party suffers a huge loss of 34 seats and strands at 41 seats (out of 100) in the Majlis. The leftist newcomers of the Democratic Social Movement gains 25 seats. The separatist South Corum Independence Party rises from 25 to 34 seats.
It's the first time since the Republic's restoration that a coalition government will need to be formed. The President will probably give that task to outgoing Grand Vizier Redouan van Lucerne.
Van Lucerne's IRP and Rania Lucius' DSB have a lot in common and are the most likely coalition partners. There is one issue in which they are diametrically opposed, and that is the issue of Southern Corum autonomy. With 34 % of the electorate voting for more autonomy, the IRP believes this signal is hard to ignore. The DSB, on the other hand, is firmly committed to the unity of the Republic. It is unclear how this issue will effect government formation.
