State Chancellor Keen: "The Federal Representative has vetoed the resolution"

"I have called this press briefing today to confirm that Lord Rutland, the Federal Representative of Tapanauo has vetoed the resolution passed a few days ago, stopping any state-level election.
Lord Rutland and I met this morning to discuss about the resolution and he explained to me, after conferring with Corrintrin, that the passed resolution was unconstitutional as it is a federal-requirement to hold State Elections. The Baron recognised that while there were good intentions behind the Resolution, he could not allow it to remain in effect as it would have led to a Constitutional battle in the courts. A challenge in the courts would cause division in a time of war and my government was not prepared to take such risk, therefore we have agreed with Lord Rutland on his right to veto this Resolution. 
I have called on the Electoral Commission to begin the process of elections and Lord Rutland will make the official announcement of dissolution of the Congress of Deputies later this week, when the Electoral Commission are ready and prepared.
Hopefully the electorate will support the Imperial Party in the upcoming elections to ensure effective running of the government during war time. It would be a shame to change things during this very crucial time. I would ask the people of Tapanuo to put their confidence in me, give me a majority, and let's get on with ending this war. Thank you."
