Well, with all the votes tallied, it appears that I've lost by the slimmest of margins. I wish to congratulate Beepee and Rebel-topia on winning the first round of this delegate election. I am confident that, with either of them as delegate, the South Pacific will be in good hands for the upcoming term. I also wish to thank everyone who voted for me and participated in a free and fair election. It's important that everyone's voices are heard, and I hope that you make yourselves heard in the next round.

I may have lost this election, but I know that the ideas I espoused are not. During this campaign, I promised to double down on our regional status as a defender superpower and support the creation of a World Assembly ministry. These ideas were only one vote short of being sent to the second round, and there is an appetite in this region for these things. Moving forward, I will promote these ideas in the Assembly as one of its legislators, and I hope to find common ground and support from my fellow legislators on these ideas.

Thank you all for your support, and make sure to vote in the second round!
