January was a very busy month in 10000 Islands Politics. Elections were held for the Senate Seats for New Republica South and Blue Canaria North. Former BCN Senator Malecia stepped down from his post as Minister of Labor to run for the Senate Seat he had held prior to his ministry appointment. Mal won with 24 of 41 votes.
Lower Columbia, in his first run for the Senate, was successful with his run for the NRS Seat and took 29 of 39 votes.
Long time Council Member Cerberion stepped down from his ministry seat. With Mal leaving the ministry for the Senate and Cerb stepping down, Paffnia was appointed as Minister of Labor and The Candy Lane was named Minster of Immigration.
The Council thanks Cerberion for his years of service and devotion and dedication to the Co9.
