Consul-Elect Ronald has stood down as SS Commander, a post he was only intending to hold temporarily in any event, an election has been set for later in the month for the head of the SS role, which carries Senator equivalent rank and is truly one of the most powerful positions in the Dino state.
Two Tribunes have emerged as front runners in the election, Tribune Roscoe head of the SS Central District and 7th SS Infantry Brigade and Tribune Balgason head of the 4th SS Infantry Brigade. They both have powerful backing, Ronald is known to favour Roscoe and MBH Balgason. The election campaign has quickly turned ugly though with Balgason leading on attack on Roscoe's compound just outside Dino-Town which saw dozens of deaths and many more rapes.
It is rumoured Consul Jimmy wants a Liberal Party backed candidate too but at the moment its too close to call between Roscoe and Balgason with analysts saying either could win. Both are solid SS officers though both also have various skeletons. Roscoe is rumoured to have committed crimes against children and Balgason is half-Bolitic with an alleged blood link to the Emperor Melson.
