The polls have been closed for hours, the peole have made their choices to their satisfaction while the outcome prayed on the minds of millions as the ballots were being counted nation-wide. The first federal election in 15 years were called by State Chairman Sr. Gen. Hien Chi Khan a little over a month ago by demand of opposing democratic factions. To appease the protest, the juche government of Gen. Khan allowed the process to go through - somehting the country has not often seen under the regime. Running against the current State Chairman was the leader of the Nationalist faction, Ho Xuan Son, who intends on ending the regime of the juche. However, after the polls were tallied nation-wide, it seemed that Son's efforts were wasted. Gen. Khan has been voted State Chairman once again with an 88% slide. Voter turn-out was also recorded to be very minimal with the justification that elections are so rare and meaningless that it would not be worth to "de-throne" Khan. This would be Khan's third term as State Chairman since the revolution in Minhdao when the Juche rose to power in 1979. He has also won the seat during the nation's first post-juche election in 1990 and then again in 1996.
Mudslide Leaves 22 Dead

Mudslides tumbled down a rain-soaked mountain in the south of Minhdao, burying dozens of shanties in a gold mining village and killing at least 22 people, a government minister said today. A 50-member police and military rescue team headed to the remote village of Mau Mo to help search for at least six people missing a day after the landslides hit. The village is about 64 miles (40 kilometers) from the nearest main town and the rescuers brought a back hoe and other heavy equipment to clear the only road leading to it. One mudslide slammed into about 30 shanties, followed by another that swept away a house, a Minhdaoese woman said by telephone. About 19 people, most of them miners, were treated for injuries, Uy said. Three of them were airlifted in an air force helicopter that brought in a medical team, police said. The landslide-prone area was saturated after days of rain and residents had ignored warnings to leave, forcasters said. The Khan regime claims to have given warning to the small town. The area around Mount Gan Ket has about 40,000 residents, mostly miners and their families. Forecasters said additional rain over southern Minhdao could trigger more flooding and landslides.
