View source for 2nd Imperial Parliament

{{Alexandria Article}}The 2nd Alexandrian [[Imperial Parliament]] was elected on January 17, 2006, in the [[January 2006 Alexandrian Parliamentary Elections|1st general election]]. The longest it can run is a constitutionally imposed maximum of three months. [[Prime Minister]] [[Matthieu Poitiers]] said that Parliament would be called into session on January 18th, 2006, at which point a Speaker shall be elected.

The government is led by the [[Alexandrian Conservative Party]], with [[Matthieu Poitiers]] as [[Prime Minister]].

== Current Party Standings ==
As of March 9th, 2006, party standings are as follows:

[[Alexandrian Conservative Party]] (ACP): 3

[[People's Democratic Party]] (PDP): 1

[[NPA|Non-Partisan's Association]] (NPA): 1 

Independents: 2

== By-elections of March 2006 ==
Following the elections of [[January 2006 Alexandrian Parliamentary elections|January 2006]], no political party held a plurality of the seats in the [[Imperial Parliament]]. Each one of the politicial parties held at least two seats. The Conservatives however depended on the Prime Ministership to retain their seat count in Parliament.

In February 12th, [[Claude Peterson]] ([[NPA]] MP from Puerto Nuevo) resigned and left Alexandria due to personal reasons. Following the resignation of Peterson, the two MPs from the [[People's Democratic Party]] forfeited their seats in Parliament due to inactivity. This caused Prime Minister Poitiers to call by-elections in these regions. [[Pete James]], the new leader of the PDP, won the seat of Valenciennes by default, as did [[Emiliano Morales]] in Puerto Nuevo. [[Jose Frias]], who was defeated in January by [[Nicholas Bertrand]] of the PDP, won the seat of Baudrix with 100% of the vote against the PDP's [[Thierry Mareu]].
