Some political changes followed, with the Fascist Party reforming its image after an influx of new members and the new situation after independence - adopting an ideology of National Bolshevism and hoping to champion worker's rights in the newly free Nyasaland, the NFP was reorganised into the Nyational Worker's Party. |

===== December Election ===== |

The first election on the 23rd December saw a surprisingly narrow victory for the NWP, with 90% vote turnout. Contributing to the electoral surprise of the Noble Womb's success was the early Choralist group, the Sisterhood of the Bell, throwing their support behind them. |

Over the next few weeks, some elements of the Sisterhood remained abroad continuing to foster their bizarre apocalyptic sect. Others came back to Nyasaland, some settling in Tomocho. In response to the theological crisis provoked by this religious schism, the Archduchess - who was also Conductor of the Great State Chorus - decreed the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1e44DQjAxlyLboSTlRjCge7_8vNNzn6pkLrOJsYO81iA/edit#heading=h.cgop3ydfamjy 'Commentary on the Choralist Schism'] in which she reorganised the state church, removing claravoyant from her position as High Mother and further establishing State Choralism as a distinct tradition, with the construction of a standardised shrines across the country. This generic design now also bore a drop of blood beneath the bell, to symbolise the turmoil of the Sisterhood's rebellion. |

==== January Election ==== |
|||
The country's second national election came on the 23rd January, with some functional changes following constitutional amendments. This was backed by an advisory poll, in which citizens voted overwhelmingly to conduct elections via instant-runoff voting and once every month, on the 23rd, as opposed to every two months. |
|||
The election saw a decreased turnout of 71% down from 90%, but with a larger electorate, with 15 votes cast, up from 9 in December. The recently-formed NCP proved to be a surprisingly potent electoral force, and was in fact in the lead during the first 24 hours of polling, and garnering support from all sectors of Nyasan society. However, the old guard in the NWP prevailed with a majority of first preference votes, and the election did not go to a second stage. |
|||
Electoral data revealed that the NWP attracted either diehard support, or complete opposition; evidenced by their almost complete lack of second preference votes. |
