Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 1441 - 1120: Must Stand Up_2

Chapter 1441: Chapter 1120: Must Stand Up_2

Medvedev, who had been holding on to hope, suddenly turned pale. All his efforts, and the outcome was still far from ideal!

The only consolation was that his two rivals, Grezlov and Rossiyana, had not escaped either. They were doomed, just like him...

Grezlov was somewhat dissatisfied. He couldn’t help but question, saying, "Isn’t this too arbitrary? If the three of us can’t participate in the Election, how can the General Election continue? Are we really going to leave the future of the country to those who can’t even garner public support?"

His words were not without basis. After the first round of the General Election, the situation was quite clear: the three of them had received the overwhelming majority of the votes, with the other candidates’ Support rates all in the single digits.

Now, if the three of them were not allowed to participate in the General Election, who could step forward and gain the support of the nationwide populace?

It was absurd to have someone take over the Kremlin when the vast majority of the public did not acknowledge them.

The Father-in-law clearly thought of this as well, his brows tightly furrowed, pondering over something.

From his perspective, it would be best if all three could continue to participate in the General Election. Now, with all three of them suddenly stripped of their Election Qualifications, where could he find another suitable candidate to challenge the General Election at such short notice!

Rossiyana was also somewhat indignant, and she snorted, "If that’s the case, won’t everyone be able to use similar tactics in future elections? How would important Elections proceed then?"

Indeed, this was a problem. However, Russia hadn’t been conducting nationwide Elections for long, so there were still some loopholes in the system, which had just been exposed in this Election.

After all, the previous two occupants of the Kremlin couldn’t actually be said to have been truly elected by all the people...

Perhaps similar strategies had also been used in Duma and Governor Elections, only on a smaller scale and without detection.

In fact, when Wang Ye was running for Duma Congressman, distributing Vodka to voters in Chukotka was, in a way, election fraud...

But no one reported it, and he had timed his gifts just before the official voting, which could be seen as a cunning move!

There were actually many similar cases. This Election saw three candidates of equal strength, all with substantial Financial Strength, each determined to win at all costs, which led to various tricks being played.

...

In response to Grezlov’s questioning, the Chief Justice calmly replied, "That’s a matter for the Duma and the Kremlin to consider. I am only concerned with legal issues."

He was quite slippery, directly throwing the issue to Wang Ye and the Father-in-law.

The others in the large Meeting Room clearly had no right to speak, so everyone uniformly turned their gaze towards the Father-in-law and Wang Ye at the main and secondary seats, waiting for the two of them to speak.

The Father-in-law remained silent, and Wang Ye sighed, having no choice but to speak up.

He looked around at everyone, a smile appearing on his face, "This matter is indeed of great importance, so I believe we can all share our opinions, gather a wide range of ideas. Any suggestions are welcome, as we may find the best solution."

The Father-in-law also nodded in agreement, "Mikhail is right. Let’s all discuss it. Don’t have any concerns, as long as it can solve the current predicament, feel free to speak up!"

People looked at one another, and it seemed like no one wanted to be the one to speak up first.

After all, it was about the General Election, a matter of great significance!

After a long while, Rilinov seemed unable to hold back anymore and was the first to speak up:

"Since no one dares to speak, then I’ll say something. My idea might be a bit out there, but I believe it’s the best solution we can come up with right now."

The people in the Meeting Room perked up, eager to hear what brilliant insight Rilinov might have.

Rilinov paused then swept his gaze across the room. When his eyes met Wang Ye’s, Wang Ye smiled and nodded as if encouraging him to boldly express his opinion.

Rilinov continued, "Since the current three candidates have lost their Election Qualifications, and the other candidates eliminated in the first round clearly cannot take on the responsibility, we also cannot indefinitely pause the General Election.

"So, can we directly nominate a new candidate that everyone recognizes, and then have him participate in the General Election? If he gets enough votes to prove that most of the public accepts him!"

"Actually, I don’t need to say much about this candidate, everyone here already knows!"

"In my opinion, he should have participated in this General Election from the beginning, maybe he thought he was too young, wanted to accumulate more political experience, so he did not participate in this General Election."

"But now at the critical moment, he should, and he must step forward!"

At the end, Rilinov’s tone became impassioned as he stared directly at Wang Ye.

Yes, there was no need to say his name, the person Rilinov was referring to was Wang Ye, and everyone knew this...

Perhaps unexpectedly thrust into the limelight by Rilinov, Wang Ye was caught off guard and the modest smile that was on his face became a bit stiff...

...

As soon as Rilinov’s voice faded, Korokolli immediately followed up, hurriedly saying:

"I agree with Rilinov’s suggestion. It is indeed the best solution we can think of right now!

In fact, Chairman Mikhail has always been more qualified to compete for this position than the original three candidates, it’s just that he was too modest, and so he did not participate in the General Election.

If the General Election could proceed smoothly, that would be one thing, but now the General Election is facing difficulties, we could even say that the country is at a critical juncture, Chairman Mikhail, please stand out and save the day!"

Wow, with Korokolli saying this, if Wang Ye doesn’t step forward this time, it would almost seem like he had become a criminal of the country...

No sooner had Korokolli finished speaking than Vladimir spoke up without hesitation.

He said forcefully,

"I agree with the opinions of Rilinov and Korokolli; in fact, everyone understands that apart from Chairman Mikhail, we cannot find a more suitable candidate.

Only Chairman Mikhail stepping forward can gain the recognition of the vast majority of the public nationwide, ending this farce!"

Those attending today’s meeting were Father-in-law, Gavriil, Medvedev, Grezlov, Wang Ye, Rilinov, Rossiyana, Shao Yigu, Korokolli, Vladimir, and the Chief Justice, a total of eleven people.

They could basically represent the core of power in the Moscow political arena, and now three people have already stood up requesting Wang Ye to join the General Election.

...

Father-in-law remained silent, always observing everyone’s expressions.

Medvedev’s face was complex, he obviously didn’t really agree with Wang Ye stepping forward, after all, once Wang Ye did, he was completely out of the game!

But he couldn’t speak out against it, after all, in this General Election, Wang Ye had already done his utmost to help him. If not for Wang Ye’s help, not to mention achieving what he had so far, he may not even have had today!

Grezlov’s thoughts were a bit different from Medvedev’s; since he had lost the eligibility to continue in the Election, Grezlov indeed hoped Wang Ye could stand out. After all, comparatively speaking, his relationship with Wang Ye was better, at least there was no worry of being cleaned out!

So he also spoke up, "I also agree, no matter how you look at it, Mikhail is already the best choice! The only concern might be that he didn’t participate in the first round of the General Election. Is this move legal in terms of procedure?"

Saying this, he turned his eyes towards the Chief Justice.

The Chief Justice nodded and said, "No problem, if a candidate withdraws, a new candidate can equally be supplemented. Then we will just carry out a vote in the Duma."

Now, there were no problems with the legal procedures...
