Arum Das

Arum Das is a politician of the European Federation and is currently a member of the Alternative Front.

Beginnings
While he was born in England, Arum grew up traveling the world with his parents who were diplomats that solved problems around the globe. While traveling, Arum noticed oppressive regimes around the world and began to form political beliefs based in the ideas of liberty. After graduating university in the USA, Arum returned to his place of birth and immediately became involved in politics. Arum developed a distinct voice and began to win over the people through his strong argumentative and oration skills. Before joining the General Assembly, Arum adopted mildly conservative libertarian views and joined the Alternative Front under the leadership of William Blaxton.

Early Days
Early in his mandate as an Assemblymen and member of the Alternative Front, Das was outspoken about supporting the Alternative Front and the candidates therein. Das spent a great deal of his time as a party member creating posters, leaflets, and other advertisements for Alternative Front candidates. It was not until later that Das would climb the political ranks.

Rise
Das quickly rose to power during mass of resignations that happened within the Alternative Front. Due to the power vacuum, Das soon became, Speaker of the General Assembly and Party Leader.

War against Pakistan
Due to the war against Pakistan, the Chancellor at the time, Nikolas Zurrus, extended his own term beyond its limit. Das was incredibly against this action by the then Chancellor and the EEC, and thusly wrote a bill providing a way to hold elections so that democracy could be protected. Despite the bill passing the Joint Session, Zurrus vetoed it after sitting on it for a few days. Shortly thereafter, Das lost the election for the Speakership, and began to rally support for his next campaign. A campaign for Chancellor of the Federation.

The Seventh Election
Shortly after the war ended, the seventh election for Chancellor of the Federation begun. The key candidates for this position were Arum Das, Ian Salazar, and Pierre Guyon. Arum Das won the election with 47.1% of the vote and assumed the position of Chancellor of the Federation.

Chancellorship
Not much of Das's own agenda was achieved during his term as Chancellor, due to him being mostly preoccupied with speaking to world leaders after the war. Das then ran for re-election, but lost the next election to Fernando Ferrón.
