Mayowa Olabode joined Mock Election in February 2018 and has been known for his left-wing views and his staunch progressivism. He has been Representative on multiple occasions, as well as being a one-term Heartland Governor and briefly being Senator.
=== Early Career ===
Mayowa Olabode joined the community during early 2018 and wasted no time on running for office. His initial campaign was for House District Six (in the seven district map). He lost said election to Michael Walker who later went on to win the whole election. He was soon elected to this district after Michael Walker announced he would not run for re-election. He won this election by two votes against Republican Chris Miller - an important figure in Mayowa's early career. In his first term, he introduced the programmes of 'Denticare' and 'Denticaid' which provide government-subsidised dental insurance to the elderly and economically vulnerable. Despite this, Mayowa Olabode faced a tricky opponent in his hunt for re-election - Irish Pennsylvanian. This election was shrouded in controversy - in the opening hours of voting the election was on a knife-edge. Roughly halfway through voting, multiple Olabode votes were deleted. This was attributed to the moderator, and former opponent Chris Miller. It remains unclear whether all those who voted managed to re-vote. Olabode ended up losing the election by a single vote. 
=== First Presidential Run ===
Mayowa picked up much momentum and popularity despite this defeat. Following this, he decided to run for President as a Democrat - challenging incumbent Democrat Tom Kirkman. The former Representative was polling very well in a primary against President Kirkman, however, the incumbent left the party and created the 'Liberal Democrats'. (TO BE COMPLETED) Category:People
