2004 Dunmer Federal Election

The 2004 Dunmer Federal Election was the 41st Dunmer Election for the chairman position. The election was mainly between Artur Tremilovic from the Dunmer People's Party and Korvunskur and Podrik Baroje from the Dunmer Social Libertarian Party and Orpur. Arthur Tremilovic would win after a turnout of 58,070,890 votes compared to Baroje's 51,090,320 votes. The Dunmer People's Party won 62 of the 110 parliamentary seats. The election lasted from August 27th, 2004 to November 8th, 2004. The vice chairmen candidates were Colm Kaylock of Heart Forest for the Social Libertarians and Jean Brenneault of Pathite for the Dunmer People's Party. The Democratic Socialist Party could not run at the time due to internal problems. Following the 2001 assassination of Dunmer Chairman Franz Kolig, Tremilovic who was then Vice Chairman took office as Chairman and ran in his place.

Background

In 2004, a year after the social crisis ended completely, the Dunmer Republic was more stable but still recovering. The economy was going back up and new movements started to grow all over the country. Both parties tried to use this to their advantage.

Early Election

In the early election, both parties tried to get control of battleground and swing provinces in all republics. Orpur was majority Social Libertarian, Heart Forest was also Social Libertarian. Korvunskur was slightly more Dunmer People's Party as well as Pathite. Vordunskur was majority independent as well as for Katrivistan. Balsavia initially leaned to Social Libertarian but then Dunmer People's Party aligned governor of Balsavia, Schamad Abumadirov managed to turn it around into the Dunmer People's Party's favor. Banjea was constantly swinging but ended up in the hands of the Dunmer People's Party. Badigdt was overwhelmingly Social Libertarian.

Mid Election

Tremilovic of Baroje started rallying for support. In Badigdt, Tremilovic's vehicle was attacked by stones and rocks which prompted his security force to return fire. Nonetheless, he managed to successfully rally at Pathite and Baroje managed to rally in Badigdt. Tremilovic promised to increase the countries economic growth while improving the lives of the Dunmer people who have suffered from the social crisis. He promised to also take action against Karim Ladan's regime in Narania and his illegal WMDs. Baroje said he would get focus on key issues that caused the social crisis and would develop each republic and province to it's fullest. Baroje would also promise to withdraw Dunmer soldiers fighting in Tavaristan and end the war there after Chairman Franz Kolig launched the invasion in 2001 shortly before his assassination, when Tremilovic took over. Tremilovic was furious at this statement saying "Tavaristani terrorists planned the assassination and you want us to leave them alone?".

End-Mid Election and Debate

On September 3rd, 2004 the first chairman debate was held at the University of Skur where they were both asked several questions and it turned out into an uncivilized slugfest. Baroje told Tremilovic "Can you please stop yapping already?" and Tremilovic said "You can't even think of a good policy you ape". It was broadcasted nationwide. Fighting between supporters of both parties erupted in major cities leading to many arrested. On September 9th, 2004 the Vice Chairmen debate happened between Colm Kaylock and Jean Brenneault which was slightly calmer but still very intense. The Bailiff (moderator) of the first debate was Jon Sieum who was then a member of the Greater Dunmer Parliament while the vice chairmen debate was moderated by Alex Ladrec.

End Election and Second Debate

At this point, Tremilovic dominated 4 republics while Baroje dominated 3. Tremilovic also said he'd control the amount of Tavaristani refugees coming in through the border, and Baroje used that statement to call him a "cruel xenophobe". The second chairmen debate was much calmer, and both made solid points. It was moderated by Veliza Othoroch and held at Ivan De'casso Square in Skur. The second vice chairmen debate was much more intense and even slurs were used including "frog" and "Squarehead" although points were made such as on freedom of expression and immigration. It was moderated by Kean Johnson. The second chairmen debate happened at the Banjiers State University and the second vice chairmen debate happened at Orpton University in Orpur. The second chairmen debate happened on September 26th, 2004 and the second vice chairmen debate happened on October 3rd, 2004. Tremilovic went on to dominate 6 republics and Baroje domonated 4. Many republics were dominated by independent parties. A wave of looting and violence started to escalate in Korvunskur in Pathite. Tremilovic said that this "looting and violence would only continue under Baroje", which Baroje replied saying "Well the violence and looting is happening under your administration, not mine". Many celebrities voiced their support for the candidates.

Near-End Election

As Election Night was getting closer and closer, Both tried to gain a hold of as much provinces and republics as possible. Tremilovic dominated a final of 7 and Baroje a final of 6. Baroje still had as big of a chance of winning as Tremilovic. On November 4th, 2004, 4 days before election night several bombs detonated across several trains in the Pathite Bay metro, killing 34 people and injuring 82. This would be the work of Communist insurgents saying "If Tremilovic were to be elected, more attacks will happen". The Pathite Bay metro was temporaily shut down as Tremilovic swore to find the perpetrators. 4 of the 15 responsible were arrested before election day. Votes still continued all over the nation.

Election Night

On November 8th, 2004 the election was broadcasted live nationwide. Depending on the republic, news stations showed results mainly in that republic while taking into the account of others. In Dunmas, Tremilovic secured Korvunskur and Pathite fairly quick. Baroje took Heart Forest, Badigdt and Orpur and very slightly Vordunskur, beating the independent party. Things looked grim for Tremilovic but he managed to secure Balsavia and very narrowly Banjea. Baroje surprisingly dominated one more republic, meaning both parties dominated 7 republics. Baroje then managed to dominate another one causing more shock meaning he had 8 republics while Tremilovic had 7. Tremilovic was on the verge of defeat but he ended up getting more votes from The Dunmer Republics of Tashkarastan and Reisser. Tremilovic was soon declared the winner of the election by 58,070,890 votes out of 121,007,940 while Baroje won 51,090,320. Baroje congratulated him and Tremilovic retained his position as Chairman of the Dunmer Republic.

Next day and Inauguration

On November 9th, 2004 Artur Tremilovic retook the Chairman's Oath and went on a tour of the nation. Many were happy while millions were discontent at his victory. Tremilovic said at a victory rally in Skur " I sincerely thank you the Dunmer people, for thinking I am fit to retain my position as Chairman of the nation, thank you".

Civil Unrest and Naranian War

Civil unrest increased with more rioting and looting to the point the Dunmer National Guard had to be called into disperse the riots. Soon all 15 people responsible for the Pathite Bay Metro Attacks were arrested and sentenced to death. They were all executed by firing squad on February 19th, 2006. Soon on November 27th, 2004 Tremilovic authorized an invasion of Narania to depose president Karim Lahad. This conflict would be known as the Naranian War. Lahad was killed by a Dunmer drone strike on December 17th, 2004 along with the General of the Naranian Guard Corps, Brigadier General Daran Mashevaz. The civil unrest would finally end in 2005.

Tremilovic's Term

Tremilovic did most of his promises, but he failed to unite the nation and was quick to brutally suppress opposition. He did support economic growth and used taxpayer money to fund Dunmer Factories and industries. He also reaped billions of dollars from taking over Narania's vast and rich oil fields, which was great economically. He continued the war in Tavaristan, although he had to divert some troops to Narania. He also seized over millions of dollars worth of weapons from insurgents and terrorists. He also repealed the controversial "Malc Act of 1996" which would permit illegal immigrants temporary protection from deportation. Many have described the 2004 election as the worst dunmer election ever and a total shitshow possibly attributed to the uncivil nature of the election and the following war and violence.

2008 Election

Tremilovic could no longer run in an election, so his vice chairman Jean Breanneault ran against the famous Garvey J Franco in 2008 but lost. Tremilovic today is the Prefect of Hesser-Brost Subprovince, Korvunskur
