Controversial Ocian Elections Brings No Clear Victory
Yesterday’s Intense Presidential Elections as expected have left no decisive winner. Today, Ocia’s electoral commission announced that two candidates Michael Dervin and Anthony Montague both received 37.5% of the electoral vote while Matt Kovac trailed in last with 25% of the electoral Vote in a historic Presidential election which brought a record turnout.
Ocian law requires that the Presidential Winner receive at least 51% of the electoral vote so two candidates (Most Likely Michael Dervin and Anthony Montague) will face off on a Run-off election set for Thursday according to the Ocian Electoral Commission. However unlikely, if a Candidate does withdrawal from Thursday’s runoff it will allow Matt Kovac, the current candidate which will be eliminated from the runoff because he received the least electoral votes, to face off in the election.
Monday’s Presidential election did not come without controversy as Ocia’s Returning Election officer Kieran Henson pushed to delay the elections to Wednesday after he claimed Matt Kovac and Anthony Montague illegally campaigned the day before the election, something which is not regulated by Ocian Law. After a long standing dispute Ocia’s Supreme Court ruled that the Electoral Commission did not have sutch power and instead fined both the Candidates. Even after the ruling, Ocia’s controversial Electoral Officer Kieran Henson, claimed to have disqualified Ocian Presidential Candidate Matt Kovac after he allegedly deleted the electoral officer’s posts announcing the reschedule of the Ocian Election. The Ocian Supreme Court however ruled that it was well in Kovac’s rights to do so.
