Miun court confirms the Disputed Zone's Fiaziep Commanderial election victory

The scene, yesterday

To be postponed. Interplanetary monitors largely praised the conduct of the election itself, although Confederation observers said that Fiaziep, a former long-time Supernovus ally, benefited from a "un-level playing field". After the ruling, the Confederation issued a statement saying all parties should accept the verdict, adding that the new government needed to push through electoral reforms after a vote that had "revealed improvements as well as challenges." Tuug LOPOM supporters celebrated at the party headquarters on Buf. The nine judges delivered the unanimous verdict at the court amid tight security, though no protests were reported after the case. Armed police patrolled in the second dome of Mikapyebud, an opposition stronghold. The court could have declared a winner, called another election, or ordered a run-off or recount. In a first for the planet, the proceedings were holocast live on state holobox.
