After the MBO take over of New Sparta, the UNP was kept in post but elections were cancelled. Now the UNP are pressing Viceroy Caratore to allow the scheduled UNP election to take place next year. Sea Urchin remains the Head of the UNP though by appointment. It is thought he wants to retire from politics.
The problem for the UNP is that the decision may not be in Caratore's hands. The MBO need to give the go-ahead for elections and this is unlikely any time soon.
