BREAKING Naprital Inska has dropped out of the KM primary, endorsing frontrunner Daman Kullan. Inska, whose campaign gained traction with promises of nationalist resurgence and party unity, stated in a press conference that the decision was made in the interest of party solidarity and the greater good of the Mitallduk Confederacy. Addressing supporters and the press, Inska declared, “I believe that Daman Kullan embodies the principles of leadership and vision that our nation needs in these challenging times […] I am proud to stand beside him as we move forward to ensure a brighter future for all Mitalldukians.” The endorsement comes as a significant boost to Kullan’s campaign, potentially solidifying his position as the frontrunner in a tightly contested primary race.
