Centre-Left Party narrowly wins Medovian Parliamentary Elections in a tightly contested election

Late last night, the Medovian Election Commission published the final results of the tightly contested parliamentary vote giving the centre-left Democratic Alliance party first place over the ruling right-wing Medovian National Front. The elections were tightly contested between the two large political parties and predictions over who would win went both ways. Party members at the headquarters of the Democratic Alliance celebrated the victory as they will be coming to power after over 10 years of rule by the National Front.

The leader of the Democratic Alliance, Simon Pagosov, thanked his supporters and said that the election was a turning point for Medovia and that his Government would steer Medovia into more open and sensible policies. Hakob Beliśavar, the outgoing PM, and head of the Medovian National Front declared the result a 'crushing defeat' blaming misinformation spread by leftist activists throughout social media that contributed to this defeat. Beliśavar admitted that the party was not effective in combating this onslaught. The leader vowed to regroup his party and to devise a strategy to counter-act the centre-left Government. "We will be the force of conservatism, tradition, and reason in Medovia, and we are going to fight at every step till the end, we are not going anywhere," said Beliśavar.

Political experts note that centre-left Democratic Alliance will have to forge a coalition in order to have the majority in Parliament. Pagosov had assured insiders that they would enter a coalition with the centrist Centre Way party in order to appease moderates, and bring a focus to economic positions for the Centre Way party. Experts note that the coalition will be fragile and vulnerable to a no-confidence vote (which would trigger new elections) if there are some defections from the Centre Way party to join National Front party in such a vote. More conservative MPs in the Centre Way party may be vulnerable to such a defection. The Medovian National Front plans weekly rallies across the country to unite citizens against what they describe as a "leftist takeover" as the party is labeling the election result. The President of Medovia, Samel Gorgevem, will formally ask Simon Pagosov to form a government after which Pagosov's premiership will be approved by the President, an oath will be taken in Parliament, and then Pagosov will give his first speech as Prime Minister of the country.

Projected Seats in next Medovian Parliament: (76 seats needed for majority ; 150 total seats)
Medovian National Front: 57
Democratic Alliance: 60
Medovian Socialist Movement: 8
Centre Way: 25
