Council debate continues - delay expected to presidential announcement
29th June 2019

The Council of Kerlile debate on the appointment of a successor to President Greenwood has continued past the predicted ten hours. A representative of the Council has announced that it is unlikely the debate will end any time soon.

This comes after reports that Councillor Patel attempted to exclude Councillors Arnott and Robinson from the meeting due to the accusations against the pair. Councillors Arnott and Robinson arrived at the Council Chamber under heavy guard three hours prior to the debate after having been released from prison for the duration of the debate.

During a short break in proceedings, Councillor Jennifer Hale - in defiance of tradition - spoke to journalists gathered outside the building. She informed the group that a fourth Councillor had been nominated during the meeting, but did not specify which Councillor. She left abruptly after approached by Councillor Patel, who was heard threatening to have her arrested for disclosing classified information.

It is presently uncertain how long the debate will last, but rumours suggest that it will be another twelve hours before the result is known. President Greenwood cut short a meeting with business leaders in Grapevale earlier upon receiving news, the contents of which is unknown.

The debate will continue until a president has been appointed.
