Nominations have closed for the second Consul election to be held at the end of November, as expected Imperial Order named Senator Cruggson as their candidate to replace Consul Ronald whose period of office will end at the end of the year. Veritas = Truth have named SS Commander Lakes as their candidate. There are 4 other candidates from minor parties. The Liberal Party are not standing a candidate this year because of an agreement with Imperial Order.
Consul MBH of course will be hoping Lakes can win as that would give him total and complete power however it is unlikely, an early poll has given Cruggson 73% of the vote. Last year Jimmy was also well ahead but was pipped to the post by the time of the voting however Cruggson is a very popular man with the Dinos, and more important Lakes is very unpopular.
