The Southern Journal - Rabbitz Wins June Chair Election

Rabbitz Wins June Chair Election

By Erinor

As well as the most contested Cabinet election in recent years, last month also saw an election for Chair of the Assembly after the conclusion of a successful term by newly-elected Minister of Military Affairs, Fihami. Due to be opened at the same time as the Cabinet election at the very start of the month, excitement over the former caused the Chair election to be overlooked and was delayed until 15th June. Despite this, there were a number of strong nominations put forward straight away, with many seeking a return of Council on Regional Security member and former Chair, Amerion.

With Amerion declining his nomination, and many speculating (correctly, it would seem) that they had their eye on the July Delegate election, it was up to Rabbitz and Royaltica to step up to the plate and run for this vital position within the Coalition. Whilst Rabbitz had just recently run for the position of Minister of Regional Affairs and currently held the position of Local Councillor, neither candidate had held an elected office in the forumside government and so there was much interest in their campaigns.

Both campaigns focused heavily on the basics of the job and on maintaining administrative standards from previous terms. Royaltica’s campaign was notable for its simplicity and clarity, especially in light of their relative newness to the region and to our electoral system. It was, however, Rabbitz’ relatively higher experience and familiarity as a regional name that won the day, with them achieving seven more approvals than their opponent and officially became Chair of the Assembly on 23rd June.

Since taking up the role of Chair, Rabbitz has been following through on their campaign promises by ensuring that their first vote went through in a timely fashion and the amendments were filed appropriately - something that hasn’t always been the case in past Chairs. This publication hopes to see Rabbitz improving their skills whilst in this role and continuing to serve the Assembly with pride.
