Renewal Primaries, 4304

The Renewal Primaries of 4304 were contested to decide the nominee of Renewal for the 4304 Presidential Race. The winner was put forward to attempt to succeed impeached President Edmund Treitschke, who was impeached after calling for a 'purge'. Primaries occurred in all five states, with around 600,000 party members able to vote. The candidates were: Käthe Grunebaum, centre-left former Minister of Internal Affairs; Kunz Faehlmann, far-right backbencher; Erich Scheidel, centre-right former Minister of Education and Culture,

Campaign
Käthe Grunebaum was immediately the favourite to win, after being praised by all sides of the political spectrum for exposing the President's plans to 'purge' opposition members through violence. Faehlmann, meanwhile, proposed fixing conservative relations and becoming more like the TGP. Erich Scheidel tried to strike a middle-ground between both position.

Grunebaum won in a blowout in the state of Miktar, despite it being Scheidel's home state. Dorvan was another blow-out victory for Grunebaum, as her birth place and a state she visited repeatedly. Scheidel withdrew from the primaries at this stage, due to the near certainty at that point that Grunebaum was going to win. Faehlmann, however, vowed to continue

In Largonia and Westmark, Grunebaum won two major victories, confirming her nomination and forcing Faehlmann to step down, mainly due to losing his home state and mainly due to the mathematical certainty of Grunebaum's victory. Kordusia was the icing on the cake, as thousands turned out anyway to confirm Grunebaum's nomination. She was endorsed by all of Renewal, the LKP and the Left.
