The new Prime Minister of the Republic of Sirion, sir Ryu Hinamoto, has been elected through a regular monthly election where every noble is invited to vote. The old Prime Minister, Lady Rugina Blakeshadow did not run for personal reasons.
The election of Prime Minister Ryu Hinamoto does not come as a surprise. It has been a long-lasting tradition of Sirion to vote Prime Ministers those individuals who distinguished themselves militarily during their career. Sir Ryu had led the armies of Sirion as general against Fontan for a considerable amount of time and with remarkable success, making him a war hero and a naturally inspiring figure. Finding him now ruler of Sirion is therefore natural.
The only question remaining is whether the new Prime Minister will abandon his Duchy, Karbala, as it has been traditionally done in Sirion, or whether he will keep his land and attempt to retain more power than any former ruler Sirion had before.
