Aaron Stone Wins Crayterian Presidency
New Thessalonica - Yuma: On Sunday, Crayterians across Sirius either went to polls or submitted via e-voting channels to cast their voice for Crayter's next President. The road to the Presidency has had both its highs and its lows, and is undoubtedly a far cry from the relaxed reelections of Fiona Payne over the past nine years. With the polls closed at midnight last night, the nation waited for the Quorum of Ministers to verify the results, and announced earlier today the next President of the Crayter Republic, Aaron Stone.
Addison Reynolds, Secretary for the Quorum of Ministers, met with President-Elect Stone at the Presidential Compound in New Thessalonica, who delivered a speech to a crowd consisting of numerous city and government officials, as well as several Ministers and foreign dignitaries. A notable absence was Joshua Ellis, who had claimed several hours before the official Quorum announcement that he would challenge the official results of the election, but said that he would concede the race should the challenge prove fruitless.
The results of the election are undeniably the most polarizing in Crayterian history, with Stone alone receiving 83% of the eligible vote, Clark McNalen receiving 13%, and Joshua Ellis receiving less than 2% of the vote, with an estimated 96% turnout. President-Elect Stone is scheduled to be inaugurated on the First of September, and will take the oath of office on the deck of the Presidential Compound. When asked about his immediate plans once in office, Mr. Stone had this to say: "I still have some details to discuss with my staff, but I expect things in this country to change for the better fairly soon. Many politicians don't follow through with their campaign promises. I don't plan to follow that trend. There's too much Crayter needs, and not a lot of time to do it, so we'll be moving fast to make sure what needs doing gets done."
