Singanese Minsiter of Defense Takiu Daruo; now Prime Minister-Select of Singan in its first peaceful voluntary transition of power since independence
KANJONG- In a surprising move earlier today, Singanese Prime Minister Twei Keiloi announced his resignation from a position that he has continuously held for the past twelve years effective 28 Nueva 1594. Keiloi has enjoyed high approval ratings over the past five years of his tenure leading many to believe he would remain on until forced to step down by Empress Aio of Singan. Keiloi highlighted his accomplishments in a message to the nation after speaking earlier with the Empress, and later the Council of Ministers. The general feeling in the air according to sources was that Keiloi wished to retire on a high note and establish a precedent of not staying in longer than one should. Something many would say Singan has needed to learn over the years.
Twei Keiloi has been noted for pulling Singan out of its recession following its civil war in the 1570s, and for securing consistent and large foreign investments into a nation many noted as being a short term item considering its history of coups and revolts. Keiloi successfully established renewed foreign relations in Oslanburg, Kazemura, Lanlania, and many other nations while beginning a modernization process for a renewed Singanese military.
However the choice of his successor is what many have noted as an interesting prospect; as Singan lacks formal political parties, and the Prime Minister is simply chosen by monarch with approval of the non partisan House of Delegates. Most pundits believed that the Deputy Prime Minister Dua Fuilo would be the successor, however Empress Aio preferred Takiu Daruo's extensive resume, and political clout to deal with two of the most pressing concerns the nation faces. Healthcare and Defense.
Takiu Daruo was previously from 1579-1586 the Ambassador to Kazemura, securing a coveted position that would give him the foreign policy experience and domestic legitimacy to later secure a promotion to the Minister of Defense. AS Ambassador to Kazemura, he managed to secure a military protection pact, Kazemuran investments into Singan, and Kazemuran help into military modernization for Singan.
As Minister of Defense, Daruo secured military agreements with Oslan for the purchase of an Vandbryder class carrier, with options open for more, as well as other military agreements such as that of Lomarre's recent agreement to send an aerial training squadron to Singan to work on joint service cooperation. Daruo also managed to work out an overhaul to services offered to veterans, and expand benefits to veterans and active service members alike.
In his acceptance speech after being announced as the next Prime Minister, Daruo pointed out his goals of continued and expanding relations with Kazemura, Lanlania, Oslanburg and Lomarre. Daruo also mentioned that he was working on proposals to expand universal education to include both universities and technical training based on students preferences and test scores, Daruo pointed out a goal to have Singan as the 15th most educated nation by 1605. Daruo also noted that he wished to increase public healthcare, and would also be announcing programs to increase the quality of healthcare in Singan, and provide more diversified service options for citizens.
"The future is there for those who take, not those who only sit idly by hoping only for slight returns. No, we must be bold, we must push the envelope and say finally; we are here to stay."
Daruo's replacement as Minister of Defense will announced later this week before he takes over as Prime Minister, pending officially nomination and confirmation by Empress Aio and the House of Delegates; however Daruo's high popularity and current job approval as Minister make the outcome simply foregone, much unlike previous nominated members to the Prime Ministry.
