== Announcement of results == | |||
=== End of ballots === | |||
At 17:01pm BST, [[twomoo1119]] would announce that polling had ended and that votes were being counted. Many Nubian politicians would express their wishes of good luck to one another, with others saying that they were sure they would win due to their tactics and strategy during the campaign of the election. Other candidates would announce who they had voted and supported, many with hopes the candidate they voted would win. 12 minutes after the end of the voting period, [[twomoo1119]] would announce that the results were in, shortly announcing each Minster race results. | |||
=== Content of announcements === | |||
The announcement of the results of each Minster race would mostly be following a format used in the prior elections, with the format being similar to 'our next [Minister position] will be [winner of Minister election]'. This would be done for most of the announcement, until the announcement of the winner of Minister of Foreign Affairs, which was the last race to have the results announced. | |||
[[Twomoo1119]] would say 'and last but not least...' prior to announcing the results of the Minister of Foreign Affairs race, with him 2 minutes later announcing that [[gorkymoo1119]] had won the position. | |||
== Results == | |||
=== Landslide victories === | |||
Despite the [[Predictions for the May 2021 Nubia elections|predictions]] saying otherwise, three positions would be landslide victories, more than the expected two. This would be the race for the positions of Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Cultural Affairs. | |||
==== Minister of Foreign Affairs race ==== | |||
Several politicians would [[Predictions for the May 2021 Nubia elections|predict]] [[gorkymoo1119]] to be the winner, however not by the margin that would happen. [[Gorkymoo1119]] would receive 13 first-choice votes, despite having 11 candidates running against him. The candidate in second place, [[Fijiloopins]], would receive only 5 first-choice votes. This would be used by [[gorkymoo1119]] against his other candidates, as many had expected him to not win by a large margin. | |||
==== Minister of Imperial Affairs race ==== | |||
This position was [[Predictions for the May 2021 Nubia elections|predicted]] to be won by [[Mengan_]], which was true. This was credited to her reputation within Nubian politics and previous electoral history. Oxyphii would place second, with about half the votes of [[Mengan_]]. | |||
==== Minister of Cultural Affairs race ==== | |||
Despite being closer than the Minster of Foreign Affairs race, [[UsualKostas]] would win Minister of Cultural Affairs by about 50% of the votes. This was despite [[UsualKostas]]' previous [[Impeachment of UsualKostas|impeachment]] during his first time in office. The results of the race were credited to the lack of competition by more notable Nubian politicians, with only ToastPanther1 and Iwearredhat competing for the office against [[UsualKostas]]. | |||
=== Close elections === | |||
There were 2 fairly close elections, for the positions of Minister of Defence and Minister of Trade and Commerce. This was credited to the large amount of debate and attack adverts by the front-runners. | |||
==== Minister of Defence race ==== | |||
The [[Predictions for the May 2021 Nubia elections|predictions]] said with strong confidence that [[Lopile]] or [[StarKiller1744]] would win. [[StarKiller1744]] had previously served as Minister of Defence, most recently in [[StarKiller1744's second tenure as Minister of Defence|late 2020]]. [[Lopile]] had been the incumbent Minister of Defence, serving since the [[January 2021 Nubia elections|January elections]], winning with strong margins. [[StarKiller1744]] would win the election, being credited to the lack of proper propaganda by both sides and the performance in the debate of [[StarKiller1744]] and recent activity from him. Many voters of [[StarKiller1744]] had put [[Lopile]] as their second choice. [[Fijiloopins]] would come in second place, being credited to his active campaign. | |||
