[center][h2]DEMOCRACY: Election of 1993, Week 4[/h2][/center][hr][hr]

The fourth week of a twelve week campaign cycle was relatively quiet. Another Capitol Poll was unveiled to all candidates in the newspaper, with the first glimpse of the national attitude of the [b]Samgolan Patriotic Party[/b]. With 24 National Assembly seats at stake, Kamidye was a hot bed of activity. While politicians laid it on thick regarding the [i]Islamic Army[/i]'s attacks on the outlying Border States, little else of note came during this particular week, with politicians traveling, making speeches and preparing for the first [b]National Debate[/b] in the following week, which was slated to take place in [b][u]Kamidye[/u][/b].

The largest swing of the week in the polls was, an average increase of 4.05% in the Islamic vote across the nation, when [b]Samgolan Dawn[/b] candidate Zan Mahol announced his support for the National Militias and promised, in however vague terms, to handle the issue with a very concise efficiency. The first major campaign promise to be made, it was understood that the Muslims throwing their vote to the [b]Samgolan Dawn[/b] did so with the express belief that if elected, he would follow through on those campaign promises.

Following a brief but extensive campaign on the protecting Samgola's vast natural resources, the [b]Samgolan Wildlife Society[/b] announced it's decision to fully endorse the [b]Democratic Alliance for Reform[/b].
