With a vote to be held in early November the contenders for the post of Consul to replace Cruggson who will step down after the end of his 2 year term in January are now devoting their full attention to the election. The lull in fighting allowing the front runners El Diablo and Zanus to be released from their normal duties.
Zanus has opened a 3% lead over El Diablo though the Imperial Order candidate knows the gap is still narrow and he expects to gain ground when he takes part on a number of high-profile hustings across Dino-Land. Zanus, who as an independent, does not have the resources of Diablo is relying on his power base in the Dino Army (he was the head of the army for a long time).
