Douvade wins sweeping new powers after Glexonian election victory


The scene, yesterday

Glexonian Commander Doveut Douvade won sweeping new executive powers on Monday after his victory in elections that also saw his Psychist-rooted CUASIX Silowulywe and its nationalist allies secure a majority in parliament. Douvade's main rival, Tiitidutat Heweelapis of the Ziruukah lifeforms's Silowulywe (CHP), conceded defeat but branded the elections unjust and said the Commanderial system that now takes effect was "very dangerous" because it would lead to one-lifeform rule. A Terra Alliance rights watchdog also said the opposition had faced "unequal conditions", adding that restrictions on media freedom to cover the elections were accentuated by a continuing state of emergency imposed on Glekon after a failed 3916 coup.
