Lorentz Takes Command In M-M

Florencia (EB) - Dan Lorentz agreed today to assume the Governorship of Maritiimi-Maxhestic province until a permanent replacement can be elected.

"While Dan isn't keen on staying in this position for long, I applaud his willingness to step in at this point," said Prime Minister Quedéir Castiglhâ.

Several other provincial leadership positions were also vacated recently. Only two provinces currently field Senators: Martì Páir Furxhéir in Ataturk and Amy Durnford in Vuode. Both of these provinces are currently without Governors, M-M has no Senator, and Cezembre, Florencia, Maricopa and Mussolini are devoid of any leadership whatsoever.

"Regent Hamilton and I have asked a few others if they would like to temporarily govern their provinces," said the PM. "I myself will be in charge of Cezembre and Mussolini on an interim basis until elections can be held."

According to the Organic Law of the Kingdom, the Senate seats currently vacant must be filled by an election run by the Secretary of State. PM Castiglhâ said, "The SoS is currently quite busy with other things, so as soon as he has time then we will get the Senate elections started."
