Roden Holds on to Vanishing Lead as Final Push to Election Day Begins

Governor Alix Moreau is closing in on leading candidate Soraya Roden in Gallente Election polling as the last week of campaigning begins.

With the finish line in sight, candidates are pulling out all the stops. Further incentive opportunities have been added for capsuleer supporters as the candidates attempt to use their influence to sway swing voters. With these new opportunities in play and the candidates still tantalizingly close to one another, capsuleer actions over this final week have the potential to cause an upset.

Only 0.6% seperates the top two candidates, and Roden finally appears to be facing the possibility of a loss. Soraya Roden was not available for comment. A look at her public schedule explains why, showing non-stop stadium events for the coming week. However, her grandfather, Former-President Jacus Roden, was available for comment: “A close race with hard-fought competition, that is the true spirit of our democracy. Nonetheless, Soraya’s victory is not in doubt. She has led in the polls for weeks, and she will lead in the ballot box.”

Alix Moreau is totally dedicated to trying to make those words ring false. Their campaign team has used advanced data analysis to target key demographics, tailoring their message to undecided voters. “The future I ask our citizens to embrace is not one of high profits for a select elite. It is one in which new discoveries improve the lives of everyone within the Federation. A future without drudgery in which we are free to reach new heights. Making sure that our people understand that this is a future that includes them is of vital importance.”

Lucas Tenzin is trailing in third place. Some of his supporters have even begun encouraging newcomers to back Moreau instead in order to avoid a Roden victory. Despite this, Tenzin remains unwavering in his campaign. At a Repair Facility in Actee he told those gathered that, “No matter the result, we can be proud that we are fighting the good fight. The issues we have raised in this campaign matter, and election day is still a week away. We will be heard, we will not surrender.”
