Whoever wins will replace Ronald as Consul and this will finally mark the end of Ronald's second period of rule. He became Emperor for the second time in 2099 and in 2107 ended the Empire to forge the current Republic. His first reign as Emperor was from 2052 to 2097. Ronald will remain the head of the Senate and says that he is likely to seek election to Consul again (though the 5 year rule means he can't stand again until 2112).
