Darren Engevold

Darren Engevold was the sixth president of East Brogland, representing the Democracy Fund Party. He was the first non-dictatorship leader of East Brogland, and is known as the man who got the country out of it's devolving state. He moved to Brogland when he was 16, in 1937, meaning he was an early arrival to the country. He took part in the civil war, fighting for the Democracy Fund, and grew close to Samuel Hurn, the founder.

After Samuel Hurn, Silas Hurn, and Hal Sutton's death, he was next in line to run the party. He did so, and led the party to victory over East Power, killing Bradley Benjamin. He then took leadership of the country.

In 1965, an election was held. If he won, this would be his second term; in Brogland, you can run as many terms as you want as long as you are fit for the role. The results were;

Democracy Fund: 157 Seats

East Power: 107 Seats

Silly Party: 17 seats

Engevold and Hugo Bizley fought for the lead in Chipstow, Berganua, and Centwyn. Eventually, it was clear whoever got the most out of those three would be the eventual winner. However, the East Power's fast loss of power showed evident, as Engevold won Berganua and Centwyn.

In the 1969 election, it was another very close vote, between three parties. The Democracy Fund, East Power, and The Silly Party. The eventual count was 100 seats to East Power, 85 seats to Silly Party, and 105 to The Democracy Fund. However, it turned out that 5 uncounted votes made Norfolke swing in the favour of the Silly Party, meaning they swapped 25 votes. This led to the Democracy Fund having 85, and the Silly Party having 105, leading to Engevold's defeat.. for now.

Return

In 1972, Darren Engevold announced he wanted to be president again. This was the first time a previous leader had ran for president (probably because the rest were dead). The 1973 election was the next year, so he had time to lure in Silly Party supporters to his side. That same year, the East Power Party went under the rule of Riley Burton, a very effective leader, who was slowly growing a strong opposition to Engevold. Burton, Engevold, Elmo Biggins (The president at the time) and Rajin Singh of the "fourth party", Brogle East, had many intense debates to see who would come out on top.

The vote was supposedly anyone's game.

After Day 2 of the vote, the statistics stood as so; Brogle East with 19 seats, Silly Party with 30 seats, East Power with 50 seats, and Democracy Fund with 46.

Riley Burton was looking as if he would be the next leader of East Brogland, but all of a sudden Norfolke switched from Red to Green, and things looked grim.

Engevold hen took the lead and never lost it for the entire election. He ended up winning with 140 seats compared to Burton's 89, and had won.

Second Run

Engevold's second run went down even better than the first. He managed to slowly rub away parts of the Far-Right support, and did many things for the rights of people being discriminated against. He was the first ever president to have a person of colour as his Vice-President, with Jorge Santana as his VP. This went down great!

In 1977, the election came, and Engevold ran for a second term, hopefully. The opposition was the same, however Rajin Singh had been swapped out with Dane Harlow after an emergency.

Things looked terrible for the Democracy Fund, as they lost Norfolke, St. Stevan, and Dimando. These three states were key in a victory. However, a swing to Green for Centwyn meant that they just barely secured the win.

This began Engevold's second term in his second run. He was notorious for his amazing comeback to the 1978 Onoa'I bombings, and passed many laws to make East Brogland safer. He also made good friends with Sticky Manson, leader of West Brogland.
