Rowan Mintz was elected as Prime Minister on April 4, with their Progress and Socialism Party gaining a supermajority in the Parliamentary elections.
Mintz has not yet made a speech, as has been custom for the last few Prime Ministers, instead choosing to highlight their numerous records, most notably as the youngest Prime Minister in Curnon’s history and as the first openly LGBTQ+ Prime Minister in Curnon’s history.
Progress and Socialism Party’s supermajority in Parliament
All three Parliamentary candidates for the Progress and Socialism Party were elected to Parliament on April 6, with Cameron Strickland being the only non-P&S candidate to be elected.
The Parliament now consists of:
- Asa Ward, Grand Premier (Independent)
- Dan Pierce, General Secretary (Independent)
- Rowan Mintz, Prime Minister (Progress and Socialism Party)
- Max Wyrodowicz, MP (Progress and Socialism Party)
- Christopher Felix Slant, MP (Progress and Socialism Party)
- Gabryjal Sans, MP (Progress and Socialism Party)
- Cameron Strickland, MP (Independent)
The People’s Civic Movement’s Patreyk Narjid lost by only one vote, almost beating Strickland after his loss in the Prime Ministerial election.
Dan Pierce becomes General Secretary
Dan Pierce is now General Secretary, after the referendum saw 72% of voters in favour of his nomination by Iliev.
In his outgoing address, former General Secretary Plamen Iliev described his tenure as “nearly 11 months of serving” Curnon, highlighting their role in writing “more than half” of the Constitution and creating the office of General Secretary to restore a “productive legislature”. They also pointed to their broader record in Parliament and government, before thanking “the Curnish people at large… for giving me somebody to serve”.
