Nominations for Night Council President
A very quick update on the candidates, since the campaign is now in full swing! Four candidates have been nominated for the role of Night Council President:
• Cesare Borgia (longterm, currently Marquess of Islington)
• Jean-Claude (baisant, currently Duke of the Islington Nest)
• Yasmine Merad (NPC, currently Meta Human/Shapeshifter Representative)
• Peter Vrinak (NPC, currently Vice President)
On 26th May, Peter Vrinak will pull out of the election, citing personal reasons. He says he will remain as Vice President, but he is unable to continue with the campaign due to a "private family matter".
On 30th May, Yasmine Merad will pull out of the election after it emerges that her nomination by Bernice "Birdie" Salander was the result of a bribe.
(For more information on the NPCs, take a look at the Elites list.)
This will leave only two runners in the race, both of whom are vampires. Expect a great deal of speculation in the media about what a vampire-led Night Council will look like. There's fear-mongering about both candidates, but Jean-Claude in particular will have a rough time of it with his past being scrutinised in great and unflattering detail by the press.
There will be more information about the election in the upcoming plotting post, but for now feel free to campaign for your candidate of choice!

YASMINE MERAD
Age: 37
Species: Shapeshifter
Nominated by: Bernice "Birdie" Salander
Factions: Night Council, Redbright Institute
Supports: Shapeshifters and meta humans in general. She supports witches publicly, but privately resents them.
Neutral: Ghosts, werewolves
Against: Fae, vampires, witches in private
Campaign message: VOTE YASMINE – FOR A FAIRER, SAFER COMMUNITY. Yasmine will continue her message from her last election campaign which is all about inclusion and representing the interests of those whose voices are not heard strongly enough, especially meta humans and shapeshifters. No more being bossed around by witches. She will also say that no one should gain power at the expense of others – interpreted as a dig both at Circle Daybreak and the Islington Nest.
