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!

JEAN-CLAUDE
Age: 629
Species: Vampire
Nominated by: John Cooper
Factions: Islington
Supports: Islington Nest, Night Council
Neutral: Hillingdon, Fae, Redbright Institute, East End Pack
Against: Circle Daybreak
Campaign message: Jean-Claude has proven himself a strong candidate, from his rise to the position of Duke of Islington, and his push to bring representation for Islington back on the Council itself. His leadership skills will have been apparent in the delicate handling of the changeover from Raymond's reign to his own. He has centuries more life experience than most of the other candidates, and a very level head under pressure. He is not afraid to stand up for what is right.
