Medvedev, who had been holding on to hope, suddenly turned pale. All his efforts, and the outcome was still far from ideal!
The only consolation was that his two rivals, Grezlov and Rossiyana, had not escaped either. They were doomed, just like him...
Grezlov was somewhat dissatisfied. He couldn't help but question, saying, "Isn't this too arbitrary? If the three of us can't participate in the Election, how can the General Election continue? Are we really going to leave the future of the country to those who can't even garner public support?"
His words were not without basis. After the first round of the General Election, the situation was quite clear: the three of them had received the overwhelming majority of the votes, with the other candidates' Support rates all in the single digits.
Now, if the three of them were not allowed to participate in the General Election, who could step forward and gain the support of the nationwide populace?
