Commonwealth of Nyasaland: Difference between revisions
→February Election
Line 247:
The February Election saw a decreased turnout and electorate of 12 votes down from 15. The circumstances around the election were particularly different, with two-term First Minister, former Governor and political titan on the Nyasan stage, cat_alunya, stating she would not run for a third term. For her services to the nation over many months, she would become the second ever recipient of a Knights Order of Benny, Nyasaland's highest decoration.
The NWP chose icedog68, a Tanganyankan, as their candidate, who won the election with a large majority. Support for other parties, especially the Conservationist Party, fell away in the election, and the newly-formed Dixie Nationalist Party did not make an impressive electoral debut; notably however Screenname was Nyasaland's first ever male candidate for public office.
