## Early Life

Delté Kandio born Delté Augustus Schultz was born on the 13th of July 1972 in the city of Bamalanke to lower middle class parents. His mother was Nakia Kandio, cashier at a local supermarket while his father was Nicholas Schultz, a porter at St Shondos Hospital of mixed German and Zaktopian descent. He grew up in a lower middle class neighbourhood and was a model pupil in school. His teachers say that he never caused any trouble and was usually reserved and quiet. During his teenage years he began to gain a keen interest in politics, frequently going on protests against what he believed was a "Weak and Frail System", as a direct result of this his acedemic performances began to slip. He graduated High School at the age of 18 and pursued a degree in Economics. He graduated at New Zork University aged 22 and pursued a career in economics. He briefly got a job as an Economist working for a small company but was fired due to allegedly verbally assaulting an Indonesian-Zaktopian woman. At the age of 25, he became an amateur wrestler and took part in touranements around the city until the age of 27 when he suffered a leg injury and was forced to retire.

## Introduction to Politics

After a series of disagreements with his father, he moved out from his parents house to the small village of Yevida in the Zeramic Desert. He would later say that he moved here to get away from "The oppression of this society". He began to get involved with a group known as the Zaktopian Peoples Front. He began to realise that he agreed with many of their views such as that Zaktopians were oppressed in this society and that our country needed a strong leader to take the reigns. He began to speak at these meetings and people were awed by his natural leadership qualities and ideas. He became leader of the party in 2010 at the age of 38. He told the party that they must bide their time for it would come. He later changed the party's name to The National People's Party of Zaktopia

## Rise to Power

In 2021, when the Covid-19 Pandemic was crippling Zaktopia and the wider world around, he thought that this was their time. He moved around various major cities around Zaktopia and gave speeches to any who would listen. He gained much support around the country and called for an emergency General Election to "Save the Country". The government, fearing a coup, accepted these demands. Kandio won by a landslide. He was inaugurated 2 months later in July 2021.

## Controversies

Kandio has been accused of having a Fascist mindset by the international community and many Zaktopians. He has denied this saying that he merely is trying to save the country from foreign corruption. He has been called out for his negative treatment of immigrants due to he himself having a German grandfather. He has since legally changed his name from his paternal name Schultz to his maternal name Kandio. Many Zedician countries have worsened relations with Zaktopia due to Kandio's various views and controversies. He has also publically defended the Chinese Governments treatment of the Uyghur Muslims stating that reports are heavily exaggereted by western media.
