Revision as of 12:19, 28 November 2025
A leadership ballot will be held on 5 December 3025 to elect the next leader of the Conservative Party. The winner of the contest will succeed Beau Martin as prime minister on 1 January 3026.
Prime Minister Beau Martin stood down following a dispute over the potential for a DCM and Paxemese trade agreement.
Procedure
The Conservative caucus release the rules for their leadership contest, which is now scheduled to take place on 5 December. Candidates will require the nominations of two sitting assemblymen (this may include themselves, should they be an assemblyman). Then, nominated candidates will face in a first round, with a majority of the caucus (14 votes) required to win. Should no candidate win an outright majority on the first ballot, subsequent ballots will be held, with the last-place finisher in each round being eliminated. At any point, if a candidate receives a majority of the Assembly Conservative caucus, they will be designated the winner.
