The Party is currently lead by Huang Zitao.

In the June 4258 General Election, the Lotus Party gained 261 seats and as such became the largest party and formed government.

The Lotus Party's ideology is officially "Lotisianism" which is described as a merger between left-wing politics and Jienist traditional values. The party's supporters are typically students, educated professionals, small business owners, artists and seniors.

Party Governance
The Party has two officials who are elected by convention delegates during the Party Conference, the Party Leader and the Party President. The Party President is responsible for appointing staff to manage the internal affairs of the party. The Leader is the Party's candidate for the Chancellory. The Party's constitution requires that a Party Conference be held every four years. At the conference, there is always a 'leadership review' wherein delegates vote on the question "Should the party conduct an election to select a new Leader?" The most recent review was held in 4266, wherein the no vote was received 94% of ballots cast, confirming Wu Hán's leadership.
