As one of the last countries in West Africa to implement democratically elected systems, the second presidential election in Akwa has been subject to various conspiracies from the very beginning, and has also attracted close attention from the international community. The official vote will be held on August 13
On this day, dozens of reporters from international media gathered in the port of Pemé, the capital of Akwa.
Although the presidential election voting itself was not only organized by the National Electoral Commission of Akva, it was also supervised by international observation organizations, but Juan Mantar did not really feel at ease.
Statistics are carried out at the same time as voting. The voting work in cities such as Dahomey, Drake, Kroono, Mamba and the capital Port Pemé has been relatively complete. The transportation facilities are also convenient and the statistical work is efficient. By noon
Voting statistics have already been released one after another.
The media also reports on voting statistics simultaneously.
Although voting in these areas is still ongoing and voting data will be updated in real time, considering the nature of random distribution, once a candidate takes the lead in these areas, it will usually remain until the end.
Consistent with the results of the first three rounds of polls, at noon, the current president Sewei generally had an advantage in the votes in these areas, with only Drake lagging behind another Akan candidate, Roima Sero.
Third, there is a big difference with the current president Seviy.
Such a scene may make those around Seviy rejoice, but Juan Mantar knows very well that the actual situation in Akva is not like this.
No matter how bad the living environment is in Pemme Port and other places, urban residents can still survive. They have even been the beneficiaries of Saiwei rule. They are afraid of unforeseen drastic changes in the political situation in Akwa, and they tend to have more political choices.
keep.
However, most of the country is made up of abjectly poor rural areas and underdeveloped remote towns, which breeds too much dissatisfaction with the current rulers.
Due to the backwardness of these places, there is a certain lag in the vote counting work. However, once the current vote statistics are reflected in real time, the situation will change at any time that will stun everyone.
Even if there are some subtle changes in the situation, a large number of people who originally had no intention to vote will be encouraged to rush to the polling places.
At 1 p.m., the Langjim area where Roima Selo won the first majority of votes, combined with real-time statistical data, showed that the total number of voters in the Langjim area was less than 100,000, even if all the votes were given to Roima Selo.
Luo will not bring much change to Roima Cello as a whole.
However, the fact that Roima Selo won more than 70% of the vote in the Langjim area still attracted the attention of those who were interested. Reporters who rushed to the Langjim area after hearing the news also confirmed the scene at the polling place sent back through social media.
Juan Mantar’s original prediction:
After the actual data in the Langjim area showed that Roima Selo's crime rate was absolutely dominant, more local women rushed to tell each other and rushed to vote for Roima Selo.
Unable to sit down at home, Juan Mantal took a bus to the campaign headquarters of Roima Cerro's Solidarity Party. Roima Cerro's campaign team has people from all over the country and will also work with other candidates.
Participating in the supervision of votes in various places, it is obvious that the voting statistics are undergoing subtle reversals, and everyone's face is filled with excited smiles.
"Tata, where is Mey Mantal?" Juan Mantal grabbed a young man he knew who was passing by in a hurry and asked.
"..." The man was stunned for a while before he recognized Juan Mantal, who was wearing sunglasses and a hat covering most of his face. He stuttered excitedly and surprised, "Mr. Man...Mr. Mantal, you found Juan Mantal."
Miss Er, she should be in Ms. Cerro's office. Didn't you talk to Miss Mantal on the phone before coming here? Let me help you find her."
"..." Juan Mantal didn't want everyone to know that he walked into the Unity Party's campaign headquarters today and made a silencing gesture to the young people. "I want to see Ms. Cerro. It's best not to disturb too much."
people."
The campaign headquarters is relatively open. In addition to arranging various campaign work, it is also responsible for receiving voters. However, in Roima Sero's own office, in addition to the special police directly arranged by the campaign committee, the Unity Party also hired specialized security personnel.
Even if Juan Mantal is Akwa's Minister of Economy and May Mantal's father, he cannot just barge in. Although there is excitement here, no one will let down their guard at this juncture.
Yes, Juan Mantal rushed directly to the campaign headquarters without even bringing a driver or bodyguard. This was somewhat strange, not to mention that Juan Mantal still wanted to keep it a secret.
"..."
A few days before the official voting day, Juan Mantal deliberately arranged for May to go abroad, but he did not want May to be a deserter at the last critical moment of the decisive battle. The father and daughter had a big quarrel, and May blacklisted him.
He has no way to directly call Mei's cell phone now.
Juan Mantal was soon taken to Roima Cerro's office.
May kept making calls, answering calls, or directing the seven or eight core assistants in the office to do various tasks, without taking any time to notice Juan Mantal's arrival.
Roima Selo participated in various campaign canvassing work continuously. Although she was very tired, she was the most relaxed at this time. She sat there and listened to the assistants reporting on various tasks and paid attention to the changes in voting statistics at any time.
She was the only one free to greet Juan Mantar at this time.
"Mr. Mantal also sees that the situation is changing subtly?" Roima Cerro asked Juan Mantal to sit down in the corner of the crowded office.
He didn’t mind that Juan Mantar insisted on wearing sunglasses and a hat at this time, and said, “As I said before, the Democratic Promotion Front is an important force in building Akwa. I personally also hope to cooperate with Mantar.
Mr. Er, you will work together for the future of this country..."
"Are you sure you can win the election?" Juan Mantar asked.
“Our team is making a louder appeal to the female compatriots in Péme, Kruno and Mamba, calling them to go to the polling stations. We expect the vote share in major cities such as Péme, Cluno and Mamba,
We won’t be left behind,” Roima Sero said.
"What happens after you win the election?" Juan Mantar asked.
He has never doubted the possibility of Roima Cello winning the election. He has always been deeply worried or fearful about what will happen after Roima Cero wins the election.
Tianyue's staff in Akwa had to evacuate to Benin, Kanem and other countries before the polling day. Those who could not evacuate all went to Drake and Dahomey, and no one stayed in the capital Peme.
After Hong Kong Cao Mo expressed his attitude that he would not interfere in the Akwa election two months ago, he is now temporarily withdrawing personnel. No doubt he is worried that there will be uncontrollable chaos after the election.
Roima Sero was able to defeat Sewiyi in the general election, but the more he was caught off guard, the less likely he was to accept the results of the election calmly.
What happens next, do you still need to think about it?
After the first presidential election, Sewiyy nominally gave up his direct power in the military and became president, but Sewiyy never actually gave up control of the military.
Sewiy refused to recognize the election results and once again formed a military government to take over the state power of Akwa. What could Roima Sero and anyone else in this country do to him?
Juan Mantal knew that he could not persuade May to leave Roima Cerro at this time, but he needed to know how prepared Roima Cerro was for what would happen next.
"This is a list that May gave me," Roima Cerro took out a list from the safe against the wall, handed it to Juan Mantar, and said, "These people are from Sevi."
Opponents, if they are willing to continue to work for the construction of Akwa, what Mr. Mantar is worried about may not happen."
"How could Houmuin, Tiges and the others be opponents of Sevi?" Juan Mantar asked in shock.
"Mei said that this was a list sent by Mr. Cao, and the Unity Party has limited resources and can only select two or three people for investigation. This can only preliminarily prove that this list has a certain degree of credibility,"
Roima Cerro stared at Juan Mantal and asked, "May said that Mr. Mantal, you and Mr. Cao have actually been in close contact. Do you think this list is credible?"
Roima Serro certainly cannot fully accept May Mantar's list just because she came up with it. However, it is very difficult to investigate the credibility of this list, not to mention that she did not dare to act rashly before today.
Too much action.
Juan Mantal looked at May who was still busy.
Although he wanted Mei to keep the secret that the Democratic Promotion Front was secretly funded by Cao Mo in front of Roima Sero, it was no longer the time to dwell on it.
"If Mei Yi said that this was the list sent by Mr. Cao, there should be no problem. Although Mr. Cao finally decided not to interfere in Akwa's election, his understanding of Akwa's country is
Better than all of us," Juan Mantal said, "Besides, it seems that we can only believe in this list now!"
"If we can only trust this list, then after I win the election, do you think it is reasonable to make such an arrangement based on this list after I win the election?" Roima Sero came up with a new list.
, this is her specific arrangement for military and political positions after becoming president. In the final analysis, it is the terms of the deal with these people, in exchange for their betrayal of Sevi at a critical moment and the possibility of Sevi launching a military coup.
However, these conditions cannot win others' trust with just a phone call. Especially the risk of betraying Sevi is scary to think about. It requires a figure of sufficient weight. After the election results are announced, Sevi makes the final decision.
Before taking the risk, Roima Sello went to lobby these people on behalf of Roima Sero, who was unable to come forward directly or had no time to come forward.
Juan Mantal is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
…………
…………
Although by nine o'clock at night, Roima Sero's vote share had not surpassed that of Sevi, it was almost the same.
Not to mention the votes that have not yet been counted from various places, it is very likely that Roima Sero is the main vote.
More importantly, the polling stations in various places do not close until twelve o'clock. At this time, more and more women everywhere are walking out of their homes and heading to the local polling stations. Everyone can see the number of votes that Roima Sello will eventually get.
Will be a long way ahead of Seviyi.
Although the results of the general election have not yet been announced, supporters of Roima Sero took to the streets in places such as the capital Pemme Port and held various celebrations enthusiastically.
Juan Mantal sat in the car, leaning against the car window and looking at the excited crowds on the street, but he felt unspeakably bitter in his heart.
Roima Serro took out the list provided by Cao Mo. Juan Mantar did not doubt the authenticity and reliability of this list, but the problem was that not everyone who hated or even hated Sevi had the courage to stand up.
came out to oppose him.
No, most people don't dare.
In order to hide the true hatred and fear in their hearts, they would even double down on their loyalty to Sevi.
This is prison
Disciple's Dilemma.
After Juan Mantal got the list, he selected the two people he thought were easiest to persuade, and visited them directly at dusk. However, after greetings, he tried to get to the point, but the other party directly cut off the topic and asked him to leave rudely.
This made Juan Mantal's mind finally open to some cracks and was once again covered by dark clouds.
…………
…………
Juan Mantal returned home and saw that May had returned early.
Because of whether to support Roima Cerro, Juan Mantal had to publicly break up with his daughter May; May had already moved out.
Although it was impossible to completely clear Sevi's suspicions by doing so, the means Juan Mantal could use to protect himself before were very limited.
Today's meeting with Roima Cerro and subsequent departure from the Unity Party campaign headquarters with the list was also done secretly by Juan Mantar.
In order to facilitate the subsequent lobbying operations and avoid the surveillance operations of the Sevi family, Juan Mantar will try his best to avoid meeting Roima Cerro until the big event is settled.
Mayi came back at this time. In the eyes of the outside world, it can be said that she helped Roima Sero win the election to show off to her father. Even in front of the cook at home, Mayi looked very happy and excited.
But it was after Juan Mantal came back and closed the door to the living room that Mei showed a worried look.
"When I came back, it was clear that Ms. Serlo was leading the vote, but when I tried to call Hu Enm, Hu Enm hung up the phone without even saying a word of congratulations."
Hu Enmu is the deputy chief of staff of the Army in Akko.
Hu Enmu was not only on the list provided by Cao Mo, the Unity Party also investigated him and confirmed that he was an opponent of Sevi.
However, even a word of congratulations and a refusal to contact them without leaving any room for relaxation is enough to show that for the vast majority of candidates on the list, no matter what their inner attitudes are, their actual choices are likely to be very bad.
Juan Mantal sighed softly. He didn't know what to say. He turned on the TV to see what new developments were reported in the media, but saw a candidate on the TV screen, standing in front of a podium somewhere.
, facing the microphones of media reporters, loudly denounced the serious fraud in today's general election voting, refused to recognize the upcoming election results, and called on the international community to conduct a thorough investigation into the election fraud and hold a new vote.
"Hey, Andis's vote rate was so low today, so holding a new vote has nothing to do with him..." May Mantar stared at the TV screen in confusion.
"No!" Juan Mantal took out his cell phone and made a call, but the phone beeped twice and was hung up.
"Father, who are you contacting?" May Mantal asked curiously.
"Cao Mo." Huan said.
"Cao Mo has already withdrawn. Giving us the list is the last help. He will not answer your call." Mei Mantar thought about contacting Cao Mo, but Cao Mo arranged to
When the list was handed over to her, she had already made it very clear.
But at this time, she saw that her father's calls to Cao Mo were cut off immediately, and the last hope in Mei Mantar's heart was shattered.
Of course, she didn't have the slightest resentment in her heart. After all, this was Akwa's own business, and Cao Mo had already tried his best to help.
However, there was a trace of loss in her heart that she could not erase.
May Mantal thought to herself: Maybe the secret love she had for this oriental man would be completely erased by this feeling of loss?
"Andis stood up and accused the election of fraud, which seemed to be openly flattering Sevi. However, as a moderate candidate of the Kant ethnic group, doing so was unnecessary. At the same time, he would disgust his supporters and even disqualify him.
When Weiyi re-establishes a military government, he will only try to win over Andis to win the hearts and minds of the Canter people," Juan Mantar said. "Andis does not need to stand up, but he stood up at this time.
To come out, someone must convince him to come out!"
"Why convince him to stand up?" Mei asked doubtfully.
"Time," Juan Mantar said, "if Sevi decides to overturn the election results tonight and re-establish a military government to take over power, with the attitude of Hu Enm and others, it will be difficult to change anything, but
If Andis comes forward to express his position at this time, Seviyi will probably hesitate and will not take direct and quick measures in these two days. After all, Seviy has definitely a lot of things to worry about. This will buy us time.
! Only time can the power to support Ms. Serlo gradually emerge. Only time can more people see the situation clearly and make the right choice. What we lack is time!"
"Andis is risking his personal reputation just to support Ms. Cerro?" May asked.
"Of course you need someone with enough energy to convince Andis!" Juan Mantal said, "My phone may be monitored. Cao Mo won't answer my call. Do you have any other ways to contact Cao Mo?"
Mei was filled with an indescribable emotion and said: "I have an encrypted contact number, but I have never been contacted."
Mei dialed the encrypted number and the call was quickly connected:
“I was in Dahomey at this time and I said I would not interfere in Akwa’s election, but the people of Akwa have already made their own choice. As a friend of the people of Akwa, of course I have the obligation to help the people of Akwa.
The Kwa people insist on their own choice and will not be destroyed by individual forces!"
