Herlev, Oslanburg | The Oslanburg Democratic Party won an overwhelming majority in recently concluded Folteking elections, OUT can now confirm, citing exit polls. With the country still on rocky feet following the months of protests that saw the Bjarnesan regime bow to pressure and call early elections, new Prime Minister Damara Larsen hailed the vote as a resounding moment in the history of Oslanburg.

“I asked you to vote for a democratic, free, and more open Oslanburg,” she said in a statement posted on his website after results were officially confirmed. “Thank you for having heard and supported this appeal.” Larsen said those who voted “powerfully and permanently supported Oslanburg's return to democracy and to a better future.” She called the result “a landslide vote of confidence from the people.”

This win for the ODP would complete a transformation of the government that began when then Prime Minister Bjarnesan announced early elections after lengthy talks with opposition forces and sustained, bloody street protests after the death of former Prime Minister Johan Ibsen following being assassinated outside the Folteking chamber.

International observers said the election was technically well organized, and no irregularities were found at any of the polling stations across the west Brigidnan state.

According to the results, the ODP, won a total of 229 seats well past the needed majority to form a government on their own. The United Labour Party meanwhile ended up with 156 seats, gaining 130 more seats since last elections, a significant improvement over their last showing. The Social Democrats garnered 17, seven more than previous more than previous; the Oslanburgan Greens 7; entering the Folteking for the first time since 1573, the Oslanburg Nationalist Front remained with 1 and finally a total of 7 independent candidates managed to gain seats.
