Election Campaign Officially Begins
BRIESK - Although the parties have been at it a week already, Monday marked the official first day of the election campaign for Morovia's Royal Assembly. It begins with the final week of conferences, and then campaigning straight up to the poll beginning 12:01AM GMT November 9 and completing at 11:59PM November 12.In an announcement released to the public, the King congratulated the political parties on their progress, reiterated the election timeline, and indicated that now was the time for individuals to declare their candidacies for the three vacant seats. Several candidates have already stated they will run, and they include Conservatives Bill Bekkenhuis and David Oatney, Progressives Steven Foong and Peter Krembs, and Glen McCarter of the recently formed Democratic Centre.
In addition to the five already in the race, observers question whether Conservative Chris McQueeny or Progressive Peter Hickey might jump in to complete the respective tickets. Some are also anticipating the emergence of a dark horse candidate, such as the Duke of Croningen, former Peoples Representative Iain Lindley, or new citizen Austi Scott.
While the campaign begins today, the official deadline for candidates to declare is November 4.
