May 2021 Nubia Minister of Foreign Affairs election

The May 2021 Nubia Minister of Foreign Affairs election was part of the May 2021 Nubia elections, with this race electing the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It would be won by gorkymoo1119 in a landslide result. The race would be notable for the mass registration of candidates, with the race hosting about half the total amount of candidates in the May 2021 Nubia elections.

Background

In the April 2021 Nubia elections, gorkymoo1119 would win the race for Minister of Foreign Affairs due to a lack of competition. He had been in government since the February 2021 Nubia elections elections, after an agreement about incumbent Ministers from December not running for re-election in January.

Campaign

Early registration

In the initial announcement of opening registration and campaigning, gorkymoo1119 would be included as a candidate for Minister of Foreign Affairs as he had expressed interest prior. Fijiloopins would register soon after on the reasoning of gorkymoo1119's lack of competition in the elections prior, with him also saying his campaign was a joke.

Mass registration of candidates

Following Fijiloopins' public registration for the race, many others would register, including most notably Greaseballer and phrouge. These candidacies were widely viewed as a joke due to their timing and suggested reasoning by the candidates. This would firsttake place on the 25th April 2021, the same day the announcement for registration was put out, and over the next few days.

Jewygate

On the 28th April 2021, one of the front-runners in the competition, Fijiloopins, would find himself in a scandal. The scandal started when gorkymoo1119's campaign found Fijiloopins had posted a screenshot of TheRealJewy, who had fought against Nubia in the Yemen-Nubia Conflict, calling Fijiloopins his 'best friend'.

Attack adverts

There were 3 attack adverts launched throughout the election, with one targeting Fijiloopins and the two others targeting gorkymoo1119. The one targeting Fijiloopins, titled 'who else might he trust?' focused on Jewygate. The two others would revolve around gorkymoo1119, with one accusing him of being anti-capitalism, using one of gorkymoo1119's adverts as a background.

Official debate

Several candidates who had previously not campaigned or announced their plans for the position would announce them within the debate. One receiving much attention would be CharlieCrafter18, who would suggest he would declare war on every nation to have them 'fear Nubia'. Others announcing their plans would include Greaseballer and phrouge.
