We're halfway through the elections for the Kusari Parliament and exit polls are predicting a KRP victory. The reformists gathered almost 50% of the votes and are well ahead of the surprise that occupies the second position, the N-KA. It looks like the DPK are about to lose many seats in the Parliament.
Officials announced some small incidents during the voting process. In Nagano, a citizen was hardly calmed down after he accused the state of electoral fraud, claiming that Kishiro made terminals would redistribute the votes.
An electricity blackout took down the terminals in the small town of Yashigawa. The voting was done for over three hours using the old method of paper bulletins and stamps.
Two new voting methods were introduced for these elections. Those two methods are mostly used by people that spend most of their time in space, away from any base or planet. Neural-Net interface and a separate net line opened by Kusari especially for these elections (dial 5566) seem to be the methods of the future. However, there are voices, especially reformists and nationalists that claim the system to be "a tool in republicans' hands".
Representatives of the Ameparty have agreed to give us an exclusive interview. However, when asked to comment the latest exit poll results, the answer was... shocking: "Kill! Kill! Kill!". With that, we wonder if the people that allowed such a party to form and exist are sane?
We'll be back with more news about the elections in the following days. Follow us on snn.kt-na.ku to get the latest news. For KTNA, this was Kenji Kwan.

October 23, 821 A.S.
Elections are underway in Kusari and with three days before the end and voting count, 52.7% of the population have expressed their political option. According to the newest exit polls, KRP continues to lead and because of this, we arranged an interview with the leader of the KRP and incumbent Prime Minister of Kusari, mister Manabu Yukimura. Yukimura-san, thank you for accepting this exclusive interview. I know your time is limited and so is ours so I'll get right to the questions. The KRP is in the leading seat with almost 50% of the votes, according to the latest exit polls. What's your opinion about this major difference?
The Kusari Reformation Party is looking on with great interest as this election unfolds, while we have surpassed the result of the last election where we had a total of 33% of the votes, it is too early to make any calls as of yet.
Suffice it to say that we stand by the will of the people of Kusari and if it is their will for us to lead the government, we shall do all in our power to live up to their expectation.
More than 50% of the population cast their votes and there are still three days till the end. Do you think the situation will change?
Elections are fickle things that resemble a leaf on the breeze, we are not misguided enough to believe that the people of Kusari have spoken until the last vote in counted.
We may only trust that the good people of Kusari have the wisdom to know that our track record speaks volumes about our intentions and moral fortitude.
I believe that I speak accurately when I state that our closest rival during the elections can not make the same claims.
Based on the latest exit polls, your party seems to be able to form a majority. However, the situation may change until the end of the elections. If you won’t have the majority, have you considered a potential alliance?
The Kusari Reformation Party will continue as we always have to work with each and every elected representative of the people while staying true to our mandate of a greater Kusari.
While this can be quite the juggling game and does in the end only stop Kusari from reaching it’s true potential, it is wise that one understands that it is the people that elected these officials and they are afterall the ones that we truly serve.
Hence there will be no alliance or coalition formed to gather us extra power.
We shall stand by our platform as presented to the people and argue each position as it comes before us.
I don't think you've ever talked about the Ame Party. What's your opinion about this... strange political group?
The Kusari Reformation Party believe it is for the people to make their own minds up about each of the parties and try and not lower ourselves to the level of dirty politics that some parties may partake in.
We shall let our actions be our trademark and expect other parties to do likewise.
There have been voices claiming that the new voting methods, via NeuralNet, are not exactly correct. State representatives assured the population, countless times, that these methods are secure and there won’t be any fraud done with the help of this system. Still, people look at these methods with distrust, many of them opting to vote in the purest traditional way, paper and stamp. Any comments on these facts?
Our party holds faith that the election will be conducted in the most secure and honest way possible, any hint of corruption will be jumped upon immediately even if it meant us losing our position.
Moral purity and forthrightness is the foundation of our party, we stand for decency, hard work and commitment to your community.
If any member of the public has any distrust towards any methods of voting I urge them to exercise their rights and vote in the manner that feels most comfortable, after all that is what this election is all about, your rights.
On the off chance you see anything that makes you suspect foul play or dishonesty during this election, it is my hope that you will report said findings to ourselves, the Kusari Electoral Commision and the Kusari State Police, it is only through diligence that we maintain our culture and environment.
What plans do you have after the elections? What would be the first thing you do (if you obtain the majority)?
If our party is blessed by the people to hold a majority in the Kusari parliament, then we shall truly be able to do great things without needing to compromise our integrity to satisfy other parties that may not be as fundamentally driven towards improving the lives of the good citizens of Kusari.
Such is the way with democratic politics and only through a clear majority will we have the power to bring about the changes needed make our nation truly the envy of the other houses without having to gain favor with the large corporate and special interest lobbyists that are often concerned more with their own pockets than the wellbeing of the people.
It is only the people of Kusari that may say wich road Kusari will head down, and we stand by their decision either way.
As to your query about our plans for after the election.
We shall continue along the lines that we have always stood for in Kusari, a nation without corruption that places the needs of it’s citizens above any other determining factor.
Our first of many changes will be to overhaul the laws of Kusari contained within the National Codex to make sure that there is less confusion for both officers in the field as well as visiting guests that traverse our great nation for the multitude of reasons for which they come, including tourism and economic parlance.
Thank you, mister Prime Minister. Good luck in the elections and take care of Kusari if you win. That was all for today, I am Kenji Kwan and you're on KTNA. Have a good evening!
October 25, 821 A.S.
Konbanwa! I am Yuna Uehara and today we're going to talk about success. The success of families, of individual, of entrepreneurs. Kusarians that knew how to raise from the ground, kusarians that achieved great things while keeping their moral integrity. Kusarians whom, by helping themselves, helped our country. It's time for a new series at KTNA! Every Saturday, we will be here with...
"Kusarians For Kusari"
He's young, smart and managed to raise from the ashes. Tekkan Okura, member of the Samura Heavy Industries corporation has a story about success.
Born on a traditional world of Kusari, young Tekkan didn't inherit the wealth of his father, a successful businessman himself. Tradition of the Okura family stated that a child won't inherit any wealth but the wealth of knowledge from his family. Young Tekkan tried to follow his father's footsteps and raised a company from the ground - Okura Trading Company - but he wanted more than just planetside transportation so he tried his luck and expanded his business outside the boundaries of one planet. But in a Kusari dominated by giants like Samura, Kishiro, IC and Renzu a small firm such as OTC couldn't survive and soon, the business was over. Tekkan sold his planetary fleet in order to pay the banks but he kept two interplanetary ships.
With them, he negotiated with Samura and obtained a nice position and a good salary. Somehow, he managed to convince Samura to offer him the necessary authority over his ships and even more. Soon after joining, Tekkan became the administrator of Misaki Station, one of Samura's important production facilities. It is safe to say that this man now controls Sirius' market of multiplexors.
Was that an accurate introduction, Okura-san?
Hai, it was. Thank you for the kind words miss Uehara.
Tell me, please, how was your childhood?
Hard... It was all about work and learning. Little time to play with other children, it was like my father had to prove something by turning me into a better businessman even than he was.
I guess you thank him now for all his work, correct?
No, not at all. I dislike him for what he's done. My entire childhood ruined for his ambitions. Where did that take me? I started my own company using what he taught me. I tried to expand having his teachings in mind and... disaster.
But you did raise again and now you're an important member for one of the most important corporations in Kusari. And all that in a very short period of time.
Yes but this was not something I learned back home. I'm an employee. My family was proud and sometimes stupid about all these traditions. My fast advancement in Samura's ranks has nothing to do with what my family taught me. It's all my doing.
So, tell us, what did you feel when you started to lose your grip over OTC?
To be honest, I'm glad I ended it. Running a company is very stressful and the bureaucracy and corruption is mutilating Kusari's economy.
Wait. Corruption?
Hai. I was asked for bribes in numerous areas in order to accelerate some procedures, legal procedures that would normally take a few days.
And did you bribe anyone?
No. But I did put some people behind bars. Asking for bribes is not really encouraged in Kusari. I did what every citizen should do, call the KSP and they will take over.
Unfortunately time is pressing us so I only have one more question for you. Do you plan to stick with Samura or you want to have another try on your own soon?
I'll stick with Samura. For now I like what I'm doing but Samura has some great projects for the future and I will like to get involved in those.
What projects?
You will have to wait for an official press release from Samura. I'm not allowed to talk about this for now.
Thank you for taking part on our first edition. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen for staying with us. We'll meet again, next Saturday with a new edition of "Kusarians for Kusari". Good night!
October 25, 821 A.S.
One more day and we will start counting the votes. Kusarians, one more day and your new Parliament will be assembled. Recently, KTNA interviewed the leader of the KRP. Today we will continue these series of interviews with the leader of the N-KA, mister Yukio Hatoyama. His party occupies the second position as shown by the exit polls.
Konnichiwa, Hatoyama-san. Thank you for accepting our invitation. Like I said, the latest exit polls place the N-KA in the second position. Did you expect such good performance from your party before the elections?
Well elections are hard to predict. Otherwise I would have cheated in the elections. Well to answer your question, we did not expect such a good result. The voters have exceeded our expectations. The prediction of newcomers is normally one of the last positions. But we’re happy to see that the we’re in second place.
A joke, I'm sure, about the cheating. What do you think attracted the kusarians to vote for your party?
I believe, Kwan-san, that the people of Kusari want to gain more political influence in the sirian politics. At the moment Kusari has nothing to say. At the moment all the houses try to get on a good stance with us because of our location. They want to improve their trade and so their economic strengths. We want that they tremble and quake for our Republic.
Will you try to form an alliance with other parties in order to obtain majority in the Parliament? If so, what are the parties that would interest you?
Well at the moment the Kusari Reformation Party is at the winning side. If they win the elections they need to make the majority. If we would be invite into their majority our vote in the Parliament would have nothing to say as we’re half as small as they are. I would rather consider to take an alliance with all the other parties so that our voices will be heard in the parliament. Of course all the options are still open as the elections are not over yet.
What would be the first thing you try to change in Kusari? You’ve always talked about nationalizing GMG and the Sigmas/Okinawa. Will you try to push these matters in the Parliament?
Certainly yes, if we could realize that we would have such an economical power. Take for example the embargo that had been on for a few weeks. We could do that in big because Kusari would have the monopoly in H-Fuel trade. As well the Sigmas can them become a more secure place for traders. Especially for our trade organisations. We all know GMG likes to gain money from Samura and Hogosha. If we would be able to stop this, that money could go to the people of Kusari.
An interesting point but let's talk about our defense program. What do you think about the state of our naval forces? It’s clearly that we lack the power we had before the short conflict with the Kingdom of Gallia. Any ideas on how to bring back our military might?
Well there are some ideas. If we have been able to nationalize GMG and it’s territory we could raise the taxes on H-fuel allot (not for allied houses). This money can be invested in our military might and the good of our people. We could as well increase our trade fleets with other houses to fill our treasury. We need to get all our corporations together (Kishiro, Samura, GMG and Hogosha) to gain that economical might to rebuild our Naval Forces.
More than 50% of the populace have expressed their political options until now. One more day to go till the end of the elections but presence have dwindled. Do you think anything will change or the exit polls will be similar to the truth?
I hope things can change and that we would get more votes but that is unpredictable. We’re not able to change the mind of the people. The only thing we can do is show our population that N-KA does what it needs to do.
How would you explain the low interest for politics? Do you think the people are fed up with all these changes?
Well in my opinion the people have lost their faith in the government. The last regime did not archived that much or even anything in my opinion. The only this they did good was the embargo on the Republic of Liberty. The population needs to regain it’s faith in government, that is exactly what we will try to archive.
Thank you for your answers, Hatoyama-san. You heard it people, one of the most direct party leaders we know to date. This is Kenji Kwan and you're watching KTNA. Arigato!
October 26, 821 A.S.
It's the last day of the elections. In a few hours, all voting terminals will be closed and the counting will begin. Tomorrow we will have the preliminary results and after a day or two, the final results will be announced, the official, final results. We will have a new Parliament and hopefully, a better Parliament.
But before that, I had the last interview from our electoral series. This evening, my guest is mister Arata Nakaigawa, leader of the Democratic Party of Kusari or DPK for the ones that don't like formalities.
Nakaigawa-san, konbanwa and thank you for accepting this interview. I know you're in a hurry to get to your campaign office to be there with your colleagues when the voting is over so I will try to keep this interview short. First question is more related to your opponents. What's your opinion about the latest exit poll that puts the Reformists ahead with almost 50% of the votes?
First of all konbanwa to you and your audience. The Kusari Reformist Party has always been one of the great parties in Kusari political scene, enjoying a strong backing from certain large sectors of society, as well as appealing to many traditional ideas embedded in the thoughts of Kusarians. While we of the DPK do not meet eye to eye in many of the goals they pursue, I have to admit that they have been competent in their approach to pragmatic problems, and cordial in their negotiations in and out of Parliamentary sessions.
How do you explain the low performance of your party? You were seen as the principal adversary for the KRP.
The results of our party, as well as the expansion of the KRP, can be explained by the changes of the political scenery since last public surveys were made. The majorly progressive population placed their votes on our own DPK, while Conservatives and more moderate sectors dispersed their support not only on KRP, but also on other parties like the Sunrise Party, or the Inari Shrine Political Action Committee. With most of these alternative parties fading out from the political spotlight, conservatives turned their attention back to the ever popular KRP, while more radical minded people were swayed by new political parties.
What’s your opinion about the N-KA? What do you think brought them more votes than DPK?
N-KA has taken a stance of economic liberalization, as well as an outward, somewhat aggressive foreign policy. This somehow lures many people that dislike an alleged “monopolistic dominance” of Kishiro and Samura on the Kusari market, as well as those with a dislike for GMG and certain revanchist tendencies against past military failures, tendencies that the DPK has sought to reduce, for they bring poorly meditated decision that affect negatively the Kusari well being and life style.
It’s clear that you will not form the majority in the Parliament. Do you have any intention to ally with another party in order to form a strong opposition against KRP? If yes, what parties did you think of?
In the past election we have not formed a majority, although it is concerning that we might not be able to keep the position as the major opposition party. We have expressed willingness to collaborate with some other parties in terms of legislation that help advance our democratic goals. It is early to draw conclusions about the full outcome of the elections, but we will see how it will pan out. If we will collaborate as an united coalition, or on a case by case basis, will depend on our own strength in the next legislature.
How do you plan to attract more kusarians to vote for your party at the next elections?
We plan to reformulate our political actions and manifesto so it becomes clearer and easier to understand by the general populace. We will also strive to have more elements of the party perform a more direct approach to local politics, and to tackle the issues that arise faster than other parties, to show our efficiency and dedication to the republican cause. You can expect this from me, and from many members from the Parliament bench of the DPK in the future as well.
More than half of the population has voted but it appears that the rest of the kusarians are not very interested in politics. Do you think your party can get more votes in the final hours of voting considering today there hasn’t been much activity at the election offices?
As I have mentioned before in some press conferences, the new electoral laws were implemented a few months ago, and many people had little perception about how they were going to affect their lives in regards of the political process. Many were not able to vote due to not having regularized their process with the governmental departments of their residency. The new laws also helped reduce many cases of alleged fraud and vote buying, which while reducing the apparent participation numbers, it made the elections more transparent and consistent with the true definition of the action.
We hope the changes that the new legislature will bring, as well as the commitment of our elected parliament members will keep the trust of the citizens on the Republican system alive.
Thank you, Nakaigawa-san. This was our last interview during the parliamentary elections. We covered the top three parties and got their reactions. In the future you can expect to see more news and interviews with leaders of all the political parties from Kusari and maybe from other houses. Until next time, stay safe and have a good night! Kenji Kwan, signing off.
November 01, 821 A.S.
Konnichiwa, people of Kusari, we've had a busy week on all stages and it's not over yet. Political changes, armed conflicts, military exercises and news from the other side of Sirius. We'll discuss about all of them right now, on KTNA.
We have a new Cabinet. The Kusari Reformist Party, who won a great portion of your votes during the recent Parliamentary elections, were responsible for naming the ministers. I'm informed that Prime Minister Yukimura is announcing the members that will form the new cabinet. We're transmitting live from New Tokyo.
"Konnichiwa ladies and gentlemen, esteemed Councillors and members of the press.
As you are aware the Kusari Reformation Party has emerged from the last election as the strongest candidate for government within the Republic of Kusari.
As such the responsibility to form said government falls squarely on our shoulders along with the duty of forming a cabinet to foresee the day to day running and to ensure our Republic is represented to the Sirius community in the manner it deserves.
It is only through a united voice and strength of conviction that we may guarantee Kusari is heard and understood by our neighbors which we must share Sirius with.
A Cabinet is not just a group of people, it is a collection of professional, motivated individuals that take on an important portfolio to streamline what is needed by our people and conduct the various duties required of them in their service to the government and the people of Kusari.
It represents the top ministers of the land and those that take on the highest burden of being a present face of responsibility for the government and work tirelessly on coordinating and directing the numerous actions required for our nation to prosper.
Each one of these Ministers has my full respect and gratitude for their desire to rise to the occasion of long hours fulfilling their thankless duties while following the mandate of the people even in the face of criticism from those that either to fail to understand the difficulties of the job or those that complain they would do better while not even standing up to take responsibility in the first place.
It is not an easy job to do, but I can assure you that when you walk the streets of Kusari and see the changes you have helped create for your people, it is the most rewarding.
So moving on, allow me to introduce you to the new Cabinet of the Republic of Kusari:
Prime Minister - Manabu Yukimura
Deputy Prime Minister - Itsuki Sato
Minister of Defense - Shinobu Inada (retired Kaisho)
Minister of Foreign Affairs - Makoto Yamada
Minister of Trade and Economy - Sadao Kimura
Minister of Mining and Industry - Daichi Hashimoto
Minister of Employment and Social Services - Yoshi Ishigaki
While some may question my decision to place a member from another party into our Cabinet, Minister Ishigaki has led a spotless career in his terms as elected official for the Republic of Kusari.
Our party and the Peoples Party of Kusari have our differences in what we believe is the correct path for a brighter future, but there are few people in existence that have more conviction when it comes to those of our citizens that need the most help.
Our job is to look after each and every citizen to the best of our ability, from the richest business owners to the poorest people who have had times of bad luck and may not find themselves where they wish to be, I have every faith in Minister Ishigaki’s ability to help define a new future for the less fortunate and help to raise their spirits with serious social reforms that this great nation is in need of.
The Kusari Reformation Party believe that this gesture goes a long way towards showing the people that their interests are at the forefront of our mandate and we listen to what the people want.
With this transition to a standing Cabinet to represent Kusari, it is my pleasure to announce the Republic of Kusari is open for business."
Let's have another look at our new cabinet...
Of course, it is clear now that KRP needed an ally to form a majority and the ally was revealed now, with the naming of Ishigaki-san as Minister of Employment and Social Services. I'd say it is a good decision. After all, PPK has a doctrine that can do wonders in the field of social services.
Naming a retired KNF officer as Defense Minister might cause some friction with the more... democratic groups. His visions might be a little too militaristic but time will tell.
The second topic for today is about a military cooperation between Kusari Naval Forces (KNF) and their guests, the Gallic Royal Navy (GRN) and Rheinland Military (RM). The Nebula Complex, a freelance installation in the Kyushu system, is what brought them all together.
The Nebula Complex, lead by Malakai Yakuza, a freelancer with kusarian origins, was investigated by the Kusari Police for more than a month for illegal activities. The base was built without having the right papers but that situation was solved without the need of the armed forces. It appears that the demolition destruction was taken after the investigators found the base to be selling illegal cloaking devices and other secret technology, outlawed by the Kusari Legal Codex.
The initial attempt was done two days ago but the lack of coordination between all three navies, that fought for the first time in history side by side, allowed the defenders to "hold their ground". A secondary wave, this time exclusively comprising Naval Forces ships managed to break through the shields of the installation and put an end to their illegalities.
It was the first massive fleet operation after the short war against the Royal Forces. Here are a couple of photos publicize by the KNF.
And finally, the Sirius Coalition terrorist state has announced a change in leadership. The former leader, known as Premier Anatoliy Cherdenko was removed during a coup, along with several members of his inner circles. The reasoning behind this were allegations of corruption, A new "Premier" was appointed by their governing body known as the "Duma". The new leader is a known terrorist that received several commendations for his acts against Sirius and former Alliance houses. He released the following statement through their propaganda channels known as Volgograd News Agency:
"It is with great humility that I accept this honour bestowed to me by the people of the Coalition, it is a task I do not take lightly for there are many outside our great nation who would see our glory brought down and twisted into a copy of the corrupt House Ideals that plague our sector.
However I vow to preserve our culture, our ideals and dreams for a glorious shining future where mankind no-longer suffers under the yoke of those who believe themselves our betters. Children will no-longer have to beg in the streets for food only to be ignored by well-dressed nobles and businessmen who only care about lining their pockets, men and women will not have to live in crates due to poverty and lead long productive lives due to our superior welfare and health-care programs. We will be strong, we will be united, but most of all we WILL be free!"
What can I say? He's dedicated... Hah. That was all for today, gentlemen and ladies. Have a nice evening!
February 16, 822 A.S.
Kusari politicians have taken a vacation, it seems, because things didn’t really move for a long period. But DPK seems to be alive and, well, they’re ready for some changes.
On the end of February of 822 A.S. the Democratic Party of Kusari announced that it intends to hold elections for a new party leader, after current leader Arata Nakaigawa reached his two term limit this year.
Sources close to the party leadership say that the DPK is trying to inject new blood and renew its image, after a second defeat in the Parliamentary elections against the conservative Kusari Reformation Party. We’ll see if new blood is what they need… or a different public agenda.
With us, today, is Nakaigawa-san. Good evening, sir! Welcome back to KTNA.
It is good to be present here.
I’m in the shoes of an outsider and the view is not pretty. It looks like you were forced to give up the leadership. Is that the case?
I would not say anyone was forced, as it is within the Party rules that leadership should be elected after some time. As I have provided the DPK with guidance for a long time already, it has been decided that I should return to a supporting role, and let new blood and new ideas take course in our party future.
Did you have plans that you didn’t manage to set in motion?
Even though we did not have the majority of the Parliament, of the seat of government, these last terms were punctuated with many victories towards a better Kusari, with the implementation of several policies that enabled better representation, and swifter process in justice. Many changes in the regulations allowed an expansion of trade in Kusari territories.
How do you see Kusari in 10 years?
I believe that Kusari can still improve it’s democracy, by breaking down the chains that bound her to a view of suspicion towards others, a view that has caused much grief to people and communities in the Tau systems, and made Kusari embark on a war that was without merit or need. Kusari should take the lead, not as a dominant power, but as a leader of peace efforts, and Sirius wide stability, through development projects and multilateral diplomacy.
What would you change?
I would try change our relationship with our neighbours. With Gallia, we would improve upon our current good relations to persuade them to take a more conciliatory approach to the Sirian affairs. In regards of Liberty, we would need to dispel its fears of Gallic aggression, and reaffirm our commitment of independent diplomacy with all of the Houses.
Lastly, Kusari has somewhat neglected the efforts of the Gas Miners Guild, and the government should take efforts to cooperate with them, and learn from their successes. I hope that we can improve Kusari to a house that can include the proud gas miners, without suspicion or prejudice.
Do you have a nominee for DPKs president seat?
As of right now, the candidates for the presidency are being discussed. While some names have appeared, I don’t feel the time is right to pledge my support for any of them right now.
Nakaigawa-san, any plans for the future?
I will keep working for the DPK Political Committee, as an senior councilor. I have also been invited to return to my position as a teacher in Honshu’s Kasaoka Trade and Interstellar Relations University. I’m sure it will feel great to meet the new generations of Kusari, the ones that will inherit the future we are building today.
The next set of questions will probably be a bit weird but I want you to give us the first idea that comes to mind. Gallia or Liberty?
Liberty has been our oldest neighbour since immemorial times, and we always had tension with them, due to differences in our culture, or view on events in our shared history. However, we have managed to keep an existence without war, achieve great things through cooperation.
As for Gallia, their appearance has proven to us that the world isn’t static, and time does not stop. While many try to preserve traditions as the fundamental principle, we can not reject change and unexpected paths. Gallia has shown a new way of living, of doing things, and its to Kusari benefit to learn such subtleties, and to forge its own path afterwards.
Synth paste or Kyushu rice?
A classical question, and one that everyone should be free to answer as they please. It depends on the occasion, but for most of the week I eat synth products.
Logic course of action or ideology to the letter?
As a member and leader of a political party, I must say that ideology must act as an important moral guide to the political decision. A sound ideology, supported by a tempered wisdom, is the path that the DPK strives to achieve, fulfilling the ideals of democracy and social justice as best as we can. It was the lack of wisdom, and a blind belief on the righteousness of Kusari status in the world that led the Kusari Emperor on a fatal quest, and led our nation astray. We hope that the people of Kusari expand their wisdom, so that they can prevent that from happening again.
Thank you for accepting the invitation and good luck with your future plans!
Thank you for interview.
DPK circles say that the election will be held during March, as soon as collection of nominees is made by the political council. As always, we will try to find out the nominees before they even know them. A message to our beloved politicians: Get to work! As for you, people of Kusari, take care. Kenji Kwan signing off!
