2019 Chawosaurian monarchical selection

2017<- **+** ->Next

Date: March 3, 2019

## Background

After the death of Degotoga K. Atagulkalu, on March 3, 2019, the Chawopolis Palace held a monarchical selection to replace the late Supreme Leader Degotoga K. Atagulkalu. Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a was chosen by the Chawopolis Palace to succeed Degotoga K. Atagulkalu, this move poses a threat to the incumbent Capitalist-controlled 2018-2019 Government, with a popular vote revolt against the Capitalists for installing a Supreme Leader who was a career politician without the popular approval of the Chawosaurian people, and it increases the risk of a popular vote revolt against the Capitalists in the 2019 legislative elections and against Kalawai'a himself if he chooses to run for reelection as Supreme Leader in the 2019 direct election.

On March 4, 2019, when EMK (Ekewaka M. Kalawai'a) learned that he was chosen to serve as Supreme Leader upon the death of DKA, EMK was furious but knew he could not decline this obligation, EMK had no choice but to prepare to govern Chawosauria the same day, and has it until April 1, 2019, to get ready to govern. His first task is the guide Chawosauria through the whole mourning and funeral process by March 10, to 13, of 2019, while still preparing to govern. EMK announced he will keep all the advisors of DKA, and asked the Atagulkalu family consent to remove DKA's personal items from the Chawopolis Palace and return them to the family themselves. this angers the family but granted him their approval to remove DKA's personal items and return them to the family. The Atagulkalus hated EMK for this, EMK attempted to make it up to the family by allowing DKA's widow, Stephanie Bismarck, to stay at the Chawopolis Palace for as long as she wanted, but this fails to appease the deeply-mourning family.

It was a tough transition of power for EMK than any Supreme Leader who is handed this political position from the deceased Supreme Leader, a transition of power from the deceased Supreme Leader to the new Supreme Leader was always tough, having to deal with strong family resistance and the stress of leading the Chawosaurian nation through a national period of mourning, which it's even significantly tougher.

EMK faced widespread concern, anxiety, and fear on how would he govern Chawosauria, and EMK knew he had to earn the Chawosaurian citizenry's trust and confidence, but will significantly not be so easy, this period of mourning will be a weighting, frightful, stressful task as Supreme Leader for EMK. EMK expresses fear of failure to staffers and journalists. EMK was given the weight of responsibility to organize the state funeral of Degotoga K. Atagulkalu.

Emperor Kalawai'a went on to lose reelection to Shang Jong Parker in the 2019 Chawosaurian direct election. Name recognition and national origin are factors of EMK's defeat, he has lack of name recognition and he was an American during the Age of Trump, deterring Chawosaurian voters from Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia from voting for him.

Historically, Chawosaurians tend to vote based on the state of the world or the country a candidate is from. Kalawai'a was on the wrong side of this historic trend and he badly lost reelection because he's from a country whose president is (as the Chawosaurian media puts it) an asshole. On June 6, 2020, the capitalists' manager for the monarchical selection process to replace DKA after he just suddenly died, spoke out. The capitalist manager was Phineas Ezra Sturgeon and Sturgeon states the capitalists who participated in the selection process were "the dumbest people the capitalists have ever appointed" and criticized the capitalist selectors for "choosing Ekewaka Kalawai'a out of poor judgment and bad calculation". Sturgeon said he was aware all along that Chawosaurians would not vote for a person from the United States because of Donald Trump and he tried to warn the capitalists not to choose an American at this state of time. Sturgeon gave the capitalist selectors a list of self-recommended candidates from a limited number of different countries outside the United States and other countries that were living under poor and/or embarrassing political environments, but the capitalists threw out that list because they didn't think that list was worthy of their interests.

Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, politicians Bernie Sanders and Nancy Pelosi, and rappers NBA Youngboy, YBN Nahmir, and Jaden Smith, were all token candidates. Nancy Pelosi got the least votes casted while Bernie Sanders received the most votes casted on the politician column. Donald Trump beats Barack Obama with the most token votes, a wide margin of 21-1 on the president column. Each rapper got 1 vote. Token candidates are protest votes, they are not recognized as legitimate candidates. If one token candidate wins first place, that token candidate will still not win.
