San Martín Presidential Election Update

Wired from Los Santos, San Martín: Early indications from San Martin show that the opposition sponsored candidates in the Presidential Election, Roberto García y Ramírez, and his running mate Alfonso Manuel Aruarte, are well in the lead. The pairing which represent a left-wing coalition currently have around 70% of all the votes cast so far. It is believed that around half of the registered voters in the country have cast their votes so far. This means there may still be time for turn around in fortunes for the right-wing candidates which include the current President, Jose Augustin Allende. The nation was recently reffered to a 'fast becoming a burden on Talamthom' following recent incedents involving dual citizens. It is hoped that any future administration will be less problematic for our Republic.

The vote closes on the 8th when the results will be announced and the new President and the members of the Congress sworn into office.
