NEW ALHIRA, DEMARIA - There was a steady stream of Administration supporters through the Demarian Planetary Senate President's office this week all carrying the same message: "We continue to support you, but we cannot vote against new elections. NADC forced our hands." For a moment it appeared that President Longvision would attempt to ride out the present troubles and wait for constitutionally mandated elections in the fall, but the erosion of support in the Senate has forced the government to abandon those plans.
President Longvision announced new elections to be held in a matter of weeks at the same time he accepted the resignation of his Development Minister. Longvision has indicated that he plans to stand for President and will actively campaign for his supporters in the Senate. No replacement for the Development Minister is expected before Longvision's government is reaffirmed or replaced.
It is widely expected that Longvision's long time Senate rival, Twinstripes Sandwalker, will oppose him in the election. However, at the moment no details about any other challengers are forthcoming. Tune in this Sunday as Sandwalker appears on our weekly news magazine, Stellar Voices.
