[b][u]September, 1993[/u][/b]

The election had ended with a clear victory with [b]Samuel Bassong[/b] and his [b]Democratic Alliance for Reform[/b]. Without a clear majority, Bassong took little time in navigating the political waters by offering the [b]Liberal Democrats[/b] and the [b]Samgolan Patriotic Party[/b] a hand in the Bassong government. They took it, with even former presidential candidate Yembe Songé being appointed as Minister of Trade & Finance. The Bassong Administration officially took office some fifty odd days later on September 5th, 1993.

The government formed, September began the official commencement of the [b]National Assembly[/b], 228 members, democratically elected. The nation's first order of business was appropriating a budget for the 1993-1994 fiscal year. The nation was in debt, but not terribly so. National Militias still prowled the outlying territories.

[b][u]EVENT[/u][/b]: Tambe Mahumbo, a former Lieutenant-Colonel in the [b]Samgolan Army[/b] and running for a member of the National Assembly in Ziwa, was set to leave his province to head to Kamidye after the election. Unfortunately, while taking his personal vehicle out of town, he crashed. Medical services determined he was dead upon arriving on the scene. Another election was held: turnout was low, at only 19%. With a vote of less than 15,000 votes to a measly 13,000 votes, a member of the [b]Samgolan Technocratic Union[/b] was elected, a party that was known only in the shadier and less popular neighborhoods around town.
