Aternatively, given that Nigel transferred his supporters to Dvorkovich, that makes 27/46 or 58.7% of our vote, Actual result was 103/181 or 57% so we were quite close, certainly closer than Malcolm and the ECF.Brian Towers wrote: ↑Wed Oct 03, 2018 3:15 pmSo, the forum got the results in exact reverse order.

Good question. Makro has left the room, so he isn't Chairing. Not sure 4.3 is going to happen tonight.Christopher Kreuzer wrote: ↑Wed Oct 03, 2018 3:16 pmWhite smoke! Does Makro still chair the rest of the Assembly and Dvorkovich takes over at a later date?

But the ECF nominated Nigel, so it doesn't always indicate voting intent on election day.

There's a contested election for African continental president coming up, but is there anything else controversial? Perhaps Agon, but that's going to be on the new President's "to do" list anyway.David Sedgwick wrote: ↑Wed Oct 03, 2018 9:15 pmchairing the second and third days of the General Assembly is formally Makropoulos's responsibility.
