President Serefxane Canê has signed an executive order, in which the national government will increase their powers over local government, increasing politican tensions in the Near East country.

The move comes after the 1600 local elections were temporary suspended by the Rojadavistani parliament, claiming irregularities by a number of local governments, most of them in the hands of opposition parties.

The executive order also implies that the national government will suspend more than twenty local governments in twelve provinces. Many of those local governments affected by the executive order are in areas where the Galasian and Messanic minorities are either the majority of a larger minority than the national average.

The Galasian National Coalition, an ethnic Galasian secular political party, has denouncedd President Canê's decision as a "pseudo-legal coup d'etat".

The Traditionalist Front, an Akhadist political party, the fourth largest political party in the national parliament, has also denounced the move, as several of the local governments suspended in southeastern Rojadavistan (the rest of provinces affected are mostly in the northern regions), are led by candidates of this political party.

Both the ruling Social Conservative Party and the Akhadic Front of Rojadavistan had supported the suspension of the local elections. However, some members of the Akhadic Front, which is associated to the Akhadic Society, has expressed criticism toward the President's executive order.
