He would officially win the elections on the 1st February 2021, posting 11 pieces of election-related propaganda.

[[Gorkymoo1119]] would mainly campaign on his involvement in foreign affairs, endorsements and alleged lack of experience in his opponents. One of his major points in regards to foreign affairs was his involvement during [[Mengan_]]'s tenure as Minister of Foreign Affairs, as both of his opponents were not in [[Nubia]] during her tenure and lacked some knowledge on [[Foreign relations of Nubia|Nubian relations]].

His campaign would be high profile due to his role as a former Minister and notable rankings within [[Nubia]] in the past, especially as to how he had been in government from Nubian independence from [[Yemen]] in some way. As a result, he would win the election by a considerable amount, receiving 40% more votes than the candidate who came in second, [[vaguemoo119]]. 

== Background ==
[[Gorkymoo1119]] had a history of running in Nubian elections, [[Electoral history of gorkymoo1119 in Yemen|running for offices since his time in Yemen]]. He had usually went for the position of Minister of Municipal Development, formerly holding the position for 188 consecutive days. However, after being the subject of [[Speculation about candidates running in the February 2021 Nubia elections|speculation about his candidacy]], he expressed interest in running for Minister of Foreign Affairs in the next elections, having questioned former Foreign Affairs Minister [[Mengan_]] and former Minister [[Thee_Boss]] about their support for him if he were to run.

== Campaign ==

=== Registration ===
[[Gorkymoo1119]] would register for the elections on the 25th February 2021, soon after [[twomoo1119]] put out an announcement stating the election had started. He would remain uncontested for a few hours, until [[Yoshigamer1298]] entered the race.

=== First election propaganda ===
Soon after registering for elections and finding himself contested, he would send his first election propaganda. It would announce his return and his work alongside former Minister of Foreign Affairs [[Mengan_]]. It would contain a poster that he would use in 3 other pieces of election propaganda, all posted after one another.

=== Attack adverts ===
[[Gorkymoo1119]] would run attack adverts and propaganda after the 31st February 2021, during the start of election voting, on his opponents, [[Plushie_Foxy]] and [[vaguemoo119]]. This would include a [[To Plushie Foxy|video]] titled '[[To Plushie_Foxy]]', suggesting [[Plushie_Foxy]]'s performance in election-related debates was poor. This was met by [[Plushie_Foxy]] [[List of nicknames used for other candidates in Nubian elections|nicknaming]] him 'Gloomy Gorky'

He would also use screenshots from the debate on the 29th February 2021, showing [[vaguemoo119]] could not name a member of [[Darya]], when asked.

=== Strategy ===
His strategy, as was the case in many of [[gorkymoo1119]]'s past election campaigns, was on a platform of experience and knowledge on Foreign Affairs. During this election, he would also use attack adverts to suggest his opponents did not have the skills needed to run the Ministry.

== Projections ==
All 5 [[Predictions for the February 2021 Nubia elections|predictions]] published across the elections suggested [[gorkymoo1119]] would be the winner of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, as had been the case in the past Minister races he had run for.

== Endorsements ==
[[Gorkymoo1119]] would receive 10 endorsements in total during the election. These were by:

* [[cadenstolethetoe]], incumbent Minister of Trade and Commerce and current Mayor of [[Nyala]] ''(endorsed [[gorkymoo1119]] and [[Vaguemoo119]])''
* [[indian7p]], leader of [[Gujarat]]
* [[Lopile]], incumbent Minister of Defence and current Mayor of [[Sanaa]]
* [[Maple_d]], foreign resident of [[Denmark]], former King of [[Svalbard]]
* [[Mengan_]], former Minister of Foreign Affairs and current Mayor of Suna
* [[mrpoof_]], King of [[Somalia (current)|Somalia]]
* [[Noahser]], former Minister of Cultural Affairs and current Mayor of [[Kiir]]
* [[StarKiller1744]], former Minister of Defence and current Mayor of [[Turkana]]
* [[Thee_Boss]], former Minister of Cultural Affairs and councillor in [[Mersa]]
* [[UsualKostas]], Mayor of [[Asir]] and candidate for other Minister positions

== Issues and positions ==
The campaign would propose that [[Nubia]] stay in [[Darya Pact|Darya]] despite some issues regarding activity and that relations be kept near to as is, suggesting peace was the best option in foreign affairs for [[Nubia]]. This was common of [[gorkymoo1119]]'s foreign policy before the elections.
