Election Campaign Down to the Wire

NATIONAL - The final week of Morovia's campaign for Royal Assembly entered its final week as the party conferences adjourned and candidates entered what one observer described as "the final push."

Peter Krembs adjourned the Progressive-Reform Party conference in Strausbourg to a standing ovation. Former Peoples Representative Steven Foong, Leader of the Progressives, has vowed to contest a spirited campaign that addresses the issues put forward in the party's general programme. Foong will be joined on the campaign trail by Peter Krembs, but little has been heard of Peter Hickey since he gave an address to the conference last month.

Democratic Centre Leader Glenn McCarter kicked off the campaign by announcing his party's extensive platform. According to the DC release, the party is committed "
to building an open, democratic political system. As centrists, we stand against the notion of having two clans, conservative and liberal or libertarian and authoritarian."

The Conservative Party received a boost with the welcome of a new Conservative citizen on the day of the registration deadline.

Ballots will be mailed to eligible citizens on Friday, November 9, and voting will conclude on Sunday, November 11, with the results announced the following day.
