2010 Urcean elections: Difference between revisions

The election took place within the context of the [[War of the Northern Confederation]], which [[Procurator]] [[Michael Witte]] had begun and was initially unpopular before a string of victories reversed it as a political weakness. It was anticipated that Witte would stand for the Commonwealth Union, but citing poor polling numbers and fatigue with his leadership, Witte elevated popular young Delegate [[James Cossus Reed]] to become [[Chancellor and Temporary President]] beginning in 2010. Dynan capitalized on Reed's inexperience, citing his own military career and successes as Governor-General of the [[Archduchy of Urceopolis]]. Beyond the war, Dynan's favorability ratings remained relatively constant in the lead-up to the election, while Reed's fluctuated due to lack of name recognition. It would be the last election that the Commonwealth Union would nominate a candidate for.
