Party Congress Elections of the Parti Révolutionnaire des Travailleurs

Party Congress Elections of the Parti Révolutionnaire des Travailleurs was a process whereby the 5-member Politburo of Kanjor's largest Communist Party was elected every five years. Each wing of the party generally fielded candidates with their own ideology in which they sought to lead the party. Although the elections were once seen as the pinnacle of the party's internal democracy, the Politburo elections were abolished in 2816 under the leadership of Frances Ellion, who believed the elections exacerbated tensions within the party. The Politburo was subsequently an appointed committtee, with most of the power it once held transferred solely to the position of Party Chairman. The position of General Secretary henceforth became the de facto Deputy Chairman, while the other positions took on a more bureaucratic and less political role in the party.
