TITULIA CITY (TNC Politics) | President Dennis McVicker (Lib) was defeated by SDP Leader Will Wilberforce in a landslide. Both ran unenthusiastic campaigns, and voting was low at approximately 1% (13 votes total). Mr. McVicker only garnered 3 votes (23%) to President-Elect Wilberforce’s 10 votes (77%).
Low turnout from the LRP and RNC were likely a key factor in Mr. McVicker’s defeat. Mr. McVicker won the previous election thanks to their support.
Both groups have recently felt alienated from the outgoing McVicker administration. Notable Conservative organizations refused to endorse Pres. McVicker’s re-election.
The Titulian Conservative and its PAC, CAApac heavily campaigned for McVicker in October and it turns out, he was not given another chance.
On the final day of campaigning, LRP Leader TJ Norton announced it had also decided not to endorse a candidate, giving the incumbent a major blow to his administration.
A feud between Vice Pres-elect Reformer (SDP) and the RNC Daily over its endorsement of Pres. McVicker and its article concerning the timing he was announced as Wilberforce’s VP nominee occurred, with the RNC party paper on the brink of cursing the new VP.
Mr. Wilberforce was largely absent from the campaign, as well as his opponent.
It remains to see if Mr. Wilberforce will continue an inactive government as the outgoing one has.
