FULFWOTZ- The New Sammichian Empire is reeling after HC Krugerrand announced her resignation from her post early this morning after allegations of electoral fraud surfaced in late February and launched an investigation into Krugerrand's shock victory in 2014. The statement from the High Chancellor's office reads:
"It is in the interest of the High Chancellor, Madam Kiera C. Krugerrand, to preserve the productive flow of democracy and legislation in the New Sammichian Empire while she is under investigation. We are confident that these accusations will prove fruitless, as her victory was undoubtedly attained through a legal and fair process, yet the current investigation hinders Madam Krugerrand's ability to direct the Chancellery in the manner her position demands. This being said, the Madam High Chancellor formally announces her intent to resign from her position at the helm of the Imperial government."
While the statement asserts the resignation is a noble move to preserve the ability of the Chancellery to function properly, critics of the High Chancellor claim that it may be an underhanded attempt to save face and escape a harsher sentence if she was convicted while in office, assuming she was found to be guilty of fraudulence.
The allegations of electoral fraud arose in late February after emails from Krugerrand's private email server were leaked by her former first assistant, Nylo Meres, who has since fled the NSE and is seeking asylum in Laurelian. The emails implied that Krugerrand had managed to affect vote counts in the electronic voting machines; the details of how (or if) she was actually able to do this are unknown. A formal investigation was launched by Kretopol and the Office of the Imperial Ethics Marshal in early March, announcing two weeks ago that Krugerrand "...may have manipulated vote counts during the 2014 election".
This resignation follows her uneasy tenure as HC of the New Sammichian Empire. Her campaign was ridiculed from the start, as the Krugerrand political dynasty fell from grace following the 1999 Krugerrand Trials. Her father, Amadeus Krugerrand, had been serving as High Chancellor when the family was convicted of tax evasion, securities fraud, and illegally owning and selling hundreds of indentured servants; while the practice of ownership is legal in the NSE, it is illegal to own more than fifteen or to sell them through unsanctioned networks. She had managed to get elected by riding on the support of conservative parts of the Empire, such as Caffa and Floffwym, and promoting an image of renewal.
Her tenure was most notable for the strained relations between the Chancelleric and Imperial branches of the government. Emperor Sammich and Krugerrand famously did not get along. Following a joint press conference in 2016, the media went into a frenzy after it was suspected that the Emperor had mouthed obscenities while his counterpart was speaking. Their disdain for one another only became more apparent when the pair refused to sit next to each other at last year's Emperor's Christmas Ball. This animosity was likely the result of partisan conflict, as Krugerrand was aligned with the Conservative Constitutional Party (CCP), which does not believe the Emperor should wield any actual power, and should only function as the ceremonial head of state. Emperor Sammich does not express any desire to have his power circumvented in any way.
As Krugerrand did not appoint a Vice-Chancellor to her administration, the Emperor will temporarily function as interim High Chancellor and fulfill her duties until an emergency election can be held within the Chancellery.
