BREAKING: PM announces August general election
Sunday, 2 June 2024
The prime minister, Nina Boyko, has today announced that the 2024 Wealden general election will take place on Thursday 1 August 2024.
The announcement has come after just last week, Arseniy Antonov was elected as the new leader of the Worker’s Labour Party after Boyko’s resignation from the position in March. She has said that she still seeks to continue in the position of prime minister until the election, creating a confusing and conflicting power struggle not only within the WLP but also within parliament as a whole.
The leader of the opposition, Ruslan Zyma, criticised the prime minister’s decision not to hold the election earlier, in June or July, and accused the WLP of “running away from everything that has haunted them for the last 4 years”.

For the last three years, ever since the death of former prime minister Andrii Vasylyk, Nina Boyko’s WLP has struggled to meet the demands of the Wealdenite people, with issues of the economy, immigration, and an isolationist foreign policy plaguing the country for far too long. Ahead of the election, many are expecting a bond to be formed between Ruslan Zyma’s Progressive Moderate Party and Dmytro Lysenko’s Constitutional Reform Party. Both have seemingly promised a more outward stance for the nation, including Zyma’s pledge for Wealden to rejoin the Morstaybishlian Empire by the end of 2025.
With the Progressive Moderates’ 20-point poll lead, new WLP leader Aresniy Antonov will have a tiresome election campaign ahead for him and his party, with the prime minister now able to sit back and take a break.
