Rudy Hoekwater

Rudolf Francois Hoekwater (born February 15, 1949) is a Lunasi politician and diplomat, who served as the Prime Minister of Lunasia from 16 October 2021 to 9 June 2022. Before that, he served as Chairman of the Isladanic Community of Nations from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2015.
He was a vocal opponent of the formation of an Isladanic Parliament, believing it would diminish the autonomy of individual member states.
Hoekwater became Prime Minister of Lunasia in 2021 following the resignation of Karl Dillon Holt during the 2021 Lunasi protests. Holt's resignation was followed by a change in the electoral system to curtail the power of the presidency.
Hoekwater was selected as the leader of the National Party to help recover from their electoral losses in the March 2021 Lunasi parliamentary election. On 16 October 2021, Hoekwater stepped down as party leader, and Harian Dean was elected as his successor. Despite this change, Hoekwater remained Prime Minister.
As Prime Minister, Hoekwater focused on addressing the economic and social concerns that had fueled the protests. He implemented a series of reforms aimed at stabilizing the economy and promoting social inclusion. However, his government faced continuous challenges, including political infighting and a lack of public trust.
Despite his attempts to gain public confidence, Hoekwater's government faced mounting pressure. A series of political disagreements within the National Party and a decline in public support ultimately led to his resignation in March 2022. His departure triggered a snap election.
