The Bedlam On Baltic Avenue

February 7, 2021

Mikoto Misaka, who last served as Saimoe Prime Minister in 2011 and has been, on numerous occassions, named Saimoe Leader of the Free World, is tipped by the Bedlam on Baltic Avenue to win a historic second term after defeating Kaguya Shinomiya 7995-7651. However, her opponent is hoping to emulate Hachiman Hikigaya in leading the OreGaIru Party to glory, and that is Hachiman's wife Yukino Yukinoshita, who defeated Mai Sakurajima 7960-6813.

The vanquished's male counterparts, however, will get a chance to be named Deputy Saimoe Prime Minister. Miyuki Shirogane is projected to give the Kaguya Party convincing clout after demolishing Yuu Ishigami 8107-5307. However, Sakuta Azusagawa lost his initial attempt at winning the seat last year to Rimuru Tempest and will hope that it isn't same song, second verse after delivering a 7474-6540 statement win over Touma Kamijou. A diverse blend of leadership is expected when the new government is announced this week following Election Day.
