Kareem Galendez and Mohammed Marwan signed their respective referendums passed by their respective legislatures at about the same time. Galendez on June 15th and Marwan on June 17th. Both were elected in 2021, Galendez as a Center-backed independent and Marwan as a Muslim Union stalwart. Although not working together in supporting the Referendum, both have begun public voter turnout drives in their respective provinces.
Just as a series of TV, radio, and internet ads and even street ads were blasted across South Kaijan, Mohamed Marwan was outside in the town of Baguio in Kubanglya Township. In an area of distrust of the government among the Kaijanese people, being a populist and being seen was extremely important. Additionally, Mohamed had seen the writing on the wall, the referendum was going to pass. It was rather what happened after that was of interest to him. The independence movement largely lacked a central political figure, at least an elected one. Street preachers and social media celebrities had become de-facto leaders, though it was time for Kaijanese independence to become something more serious.
At the center of Baguio like many towns in Kaijan, a produce market was currently being flooded by worshipers leaving the nearby mosque. Approaching a produce stall, Mohamed introduced himself
“Hello, are you registered to vote”
The cashier nodded, she turned around to the butcher calling for him “Hey, Manuel”
“Yeah, don't know how to register”
Mohamed seized the moment and launched into his informative message that would hopefully be picked up by the TV crew following him. “It’s simple go to www.votesk.si, everything is there, voter registration, polling location all of that good man”
“Didn't know politicians talked” he responded, shaking his hand still in his work gloves.
“Peace be upon you” the governor responded
The longer Mohamed Marwan stayed at the market more and more people came just to say hello. Security stayed close, the longer he stayed the higher the chance Kaijan League or even FJK militants would come by. The FJK were particularly active in South Kaijan and especially in the deep mountains, the fear would be that the FJK would intimidate voters to not participate, as they viewed all government services on all levels as corrupt. The Kaijan League could be reasoned with and all, although being tied to radical Islamic values largely ignored non-Muslims. Yet the FJK was brutal, recently they had attacked Christian and Minjian worshipers and wished to start a caliphate in Kaijan. He had been getting calls from government officials to contain the violence, ironic considering most of the force on the ground was not controlled by him, but rather the Ministry of Defense and President Weasley herself. If the street preachers were right about one thing it was that she was “the right hand of Shaitan ''.
