In a move that was promised to the people of the Shazbotdom Empire in a Press Release issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs nearly 5 days ago, the House of Common passed Parliamentary Bill #16-2708 (Shown in box below) yesterday with a vote of 748 to 1 with 1 Abstaining. The House of the Senate also passed the Bill with a vote of 74 to 1. This nearly cements the extinction of the elections for the position of Supreme Emperor within the Shazbotdom Empire.
The original announcement sparked some international backlash to a point when after a nation gave it's position supporting the Empire in exchange for the Empire supporting their "revolution", a few key questions from a reporter from SNN sparked some outrage with President Louis Tsavatsa, the current leader of The Republic of Mivango, in which he began to belittle SNN's own Samantha Cortez and started to refuse to answer specific questions addressed to him.
Shortly after this conformation was aired across SNN to the Empire and her colonies, the Supreme Emperor held a press conference in which he publicly condemned the actions against Ms Cotez by President Louis Tsavatsa during the press conference. There has been no return messege by President Louis Tsavatsa since the press conference and it is speculated the Diplomatic Communications have been severed between the Empire and the Republic of Mivango.
It is unclear what Supreme Emperor Williams is going to do during his first few weeks as Supreme Emperor For Life, but keep your eyes and ears tuned to Shazbotdom News Network throughout the rest of the year for updates.
