BREAKING NEWS ; THE ESTATE-COUNSEL REJECTS THE ELECTIONS

It's a historic turn of events today. The Estate-Counsel , the highest court in Tumolia has ruled that the districts drawn 3 years ago are in violation to the constitution. As Chairman-Justice Richard Upperwood expressed in the ruling “Article 50 of our constitution dictates a fair and equal representation of the Tumolian population. Not stating a set number of citizens assigned to each member of these Estate-Assembly shall not mean an unequal distribution is justified. The court has decided that the district map as drawn by sir William Frathshire on the 12th of August of 2017 is in direct violation to article 50 of this constitution. No further prosecution shall be sought for Sir William Frathshire. The court rejects all action taken on the advice of such map and regards all actions as void. ” This ruling means that the elections held last month are rendered unconstitutional and have to be redone with new districts. To likelihood a new number of members of the Chamber of Representatives will be determined.
Constitutionally the current cabinet will function as an interim cabinet until a new cabinet is assembled. It is expected that first minister Grapefield will hold a press conference soon. A new electoral map will likely be announced next week.
