Election results announced

GOVERNMENT officials announced the results of our country's first general elections last night, with a landslide victory reported for the Fervean Liberal Party.

Voters turned out in their millions to elect their leader in Ferveo's first elections since declaring independence after the Great Holocaust fifteen years ago. The event had made little impact outside of Ferveo's former "home", due to its extreme remoteness.

The leader of the party, Gabriel Seismos, will be inaugurated as President next week and is expected to appoint Cabinet ministers shortly afterward. This will dissolve the current military state; however, it is likely that many of the higher-ranking officials of the junta will become heads of their respective divisions of the military.

Speaking after the election victory last night, Mr Seismos made a short statement to the Press in which he said his "faith" in the Fervean public had been "fulfilled" in electing the "right party to lead [Ferveo] through the turbulent times facing us today."

Opposition leaders declined to give comment, but Herman Ikari, head of the far-right political pressure group Fervean Front, said, "The results of this election are disgraceful. The Fervean public have chosen a pussyfooted ass for President who will cosy up to the enemies of Ferveo whilst destroying our glorious country from the inside out."

The full results of the election are as follows (courtesy of the Fervean Electoral Commission):
64.9% - Fervean Liberal Party
24.7% - Conservative Party of Ferveo
6.5% - Green Party
2.3% - Fervean National Party
0.9% - Communist Party
0.7% - Other
