Neleh Charlton

The first Liberal in Baltusia was Neleh Charlton, niece of Praetor Taya Charlton. She was a graduate student at the University of Baltusia in Athosia when she became fed up with the government. In the school’s elections, the Libertarian–Left Party contested 5 senate seats. All five candidates, including Neleh failed to gain over 15% of the vote. Charlton was also on the ballot for the presidency of the school. She won 238 votes or 4%. The incumbent, Vision Party, retained control of the Senate with 29 senate seats. The party’s leader, Quenala Oko, won 52% of the vote and was reelected as President. Oko would later found the Baltusian Neo Exsudo Party. The two would also marry. The opposition coalition “Impact” won 11 seats. 44% voted for the party’s leader, William Russell, to become President. Russell too would later found a political party. He founded the New Judicial Alliance. When her uncle found out about the newly registered party, she was forced to leave it. She died in 2200 at the age of 43 when her uncle’s political foe, Nussimus Maximus, was elected Praetor. Maximus had her assassinated in fear of a potential leadership challenge.
