Chapter 489: Election (2/2)
On one hand, people hoped the new president could save them from the endless war, but on the other, they lamented the futility of the rigged system. Therefore, there was a clear line between citizens that supported it and citizens that opposed it every election. Other than that, hidden intervention from hostile countries was a common occurrence.
However, in conclusion, Philip had the highest support among his countrymen.
Due to his ruthlessness in taking down terrorist and illegal organizations, he had always held a lot of support from Country Y's people.
Behind him was Aliyah. She was also quite popular in Country Y, famous for being an iron maiden.
Furthermore, she came from a decorated family background. Her grandfather was Country Y's ex-president, so she had quite a number of supporters as well.
However, due to the country's archaic mindset, a majority of citizens still placed their hope in Philip. In a way, the result of the election was already predetermined. Everyone knew Philip was going to win.
However, Philip knew things were not going to be so simple. His only hope was Mubai's group.
…
Mubai's group had finally reached the edge of IV Syndicate's main base when night fell.
After a full day of planning, they finally had some down time to pay attention to the general election.
Sam said happily, ”With so many people supporting Philip, this must be a sure win for him!”
Ali and the rest thought the same way.
However, Xinghe shook her head, ”That is not a certainty, at least until we save Kelly.”
Cairn asked curiously, ”Are they not going to let Philip win? But he has already agreed to working with them.”
”The people from IV Syndicate knows Philip's cooperation is unwilling. Do you think they will let a liability like him ascend to the presidency?”
