Following an apparent security breach, CCP has been scrapping many of their on-going larger story arcs, resulting in hasty wrap-ups. The first of these is the conclusion to the long-awaited Gallente Election Arc (a working account is required to view the in-game news). Excerpt:

Final election results are in from the Federation: President Souro Foiritan has claimed victory by a narrow margin, beating his opponent, Senator Mentas Blaque, by just a single point. This will make him the first president in Gallente history ever to serve more than one term in office.

"I am proud, and I am humbled, to be granted the opportunity to serve this great nation for five more years," said the President in an address to his supporters, delivered minutes ago from the steps of the presidential residence in Caille.

The ignoble end to an otherwise large-scale event has been met with some consternation by the RP community, but many feel that the circumstances are mitigating nonetheless.
