Tyko was abuzz as the election in Vintyr approached. It was a critical election, as it was the first to include the various new citizens, both from Lappa and Sappa. The legislature was already announced to be expanding with this election, from 270 in the legislature to almost 425.
The New Social Left were expected to make massive gains in the new populations, which would be a significant change in Harmajaan government. President Ruri Amenaa and her Tomaa Party were preparing for the worst, that their decision to grant automatic citizenship to the Lappa would come back to bite them in the coming election. Still, what could they do but move full steam ahead.
Anton Kaalamuni, the leader of the New Social Left, was styling himself as a socialist liberator of the Saamo and, if he and his party were granted leadership, would establish a new Saamo Socialist Republic that worked for all Saamo, not just those in and around Harmajaa. It was a bold play, and put the NSL in direct competition with the incumbent Tomaa Party, who preferred a more measured approach.
Regardless, the winds of change were blowing and there was intense speculation in Tyko and across Harmajaa.
