Progressive Labour Party Primaries, 561AER

The 561 Progressive Primaries were held prior to the 561 election. The incumbent nominee Jacques Durand, who had led the party to become the single largest party in Parliament, was widely expected to secure the nomination with ease. Despite this five other candidates announced their intention to seek the nomination leading many to question what affect their decisions would have on the whole process.
During previous four years the party had faced many difficulties, mostly with the decision of UKIP to seek an alliance with the right wing of Parliament rather than continue the previous agreement held with the party. Many personally blamed Durand and the left wing shift of the party but most internal polls showed Durand comfortably ahead in both the National Polls and within the Party itself.
