1st Prime Minister Elections
Candidates
This candidate campaigned on the platform that he had been Mayor of over 50% of the population, was an advisor to Empress Zovely, and making most political decisions already. It was predicted to be a victory for him, which it was, with him receiving 12 of 14 votes.
_Demon1932_
This candidate doubted they'd win, however ran nevertheless. He secured 1 vote other then himself, from a person who heavily disliked the other candidate. _Demon1932_ received 2 of 14 total possible votes.
Discussion
There was little discussion by the Lower House, who elect the Prime Minister. There were public disagreements/arguments between Gorky1119 and TheSuperGamer205, but resulted in little voting change.
Election
During all the election, gorky1119 was in the lead, with _Demon1932_ receiving 2 votes towards the end.
2nd Prime Minister
Deal
In a deal in regards to Ethiopia and Nubian reunification, it was decided that the current political system would remain the same as well as positions of power, meaning gorky1119 would be the Prime Minister of Nubia for the next term, which was fulfilled on.
Controversy
There was little controversy regarding this, other then minor incidents of TheSuperGamer205 being angry and asking for a monarchy instead, as he had a personal hatred for the figure holding this position, despite him holding the Minister of Cultural Affairs, and remaining in the Ethiopian Council, who would oversee the Nubian government.
3rd Prime Minister Elections
This was a return to the usual system, with all Ministers, including the Prime Minister being elected and not chosen prior.
Candidates
Alas
Alas was the leader of Sanaa, a key figure in the Yemen-Nubia Conflict. They had gotten well liked amongst the Nubians, and had gotten a presence. They were previously the leader of the Gold Coast, after Steelerplayer1 retired.
They also made a deal with 57billy in Direct Messages, to ensure he dropped out the race.
Alas' propaganda was mostly text, especially using the statement 'Vote Alas for PM, I stuck with Nubia through the whole ##### ##### and have served as Foreign Affairs Minister since. I've proven I'll follow through on my responsibilities even when all the other Ministers are dropping left and right.' (Parts blurred are for the safety of the nation of Nubia).
JackJackson
JackJackson quickly gained a presence in Nubian politics, however he was seen in a negative outlook because of his past when he declared independence from The First Nubian Empire, with Nyasa, Congo and Kalahari. He also helped found the Nubian rebel nation of Ethiopia. Despite this, he was also remembered for getting the town of Addis Ababa to a considerable size, as well as helping create iceroads.
This candidate focused on iceroads, and used about/just over 5 different text campaigns, such as 'I am one of the longest playing members in Nubia, being on this server for more than nine months. I was around before the towns of Mersa and St. Allison had been created. I helped both cities by building Ice Roads and giving both their first cows. I funded multiple towns. I helped build Nubia to where she is today.'
Discussion
This was the first election in which there was propaganda spread, as it was the first really competitive election, with voters being quite unsure who to vote for. There was quite a bit of discussion in regards to iceroads and the past of both Prime Minister candidates.
Election
It was quite a close race, with Alas eventually coming out on top however both near 50% of votes. Throughout the election, the person in the lead with the most votes is believed to have changed, and many Mayors asked their citizens to vote for their favourite candidates.
