*With the Alliance presidential race gathering speed, political journalist Vanya Driscoll has published an analysis in The Alliance Tribune: "The election of a new president is usually a ceremonial matter, during which voters select a public 'face' for the Alliance, but this year is a genuine power struggle – one that may have major consequences. Elijah Beck is the only candidate who seems content with the status quo. By contrast, entrepreneur Fazia Silva promises to boost the economy and increase commerce. Her new financial policies have been welcomed by interstellar corporations and small businesses alike. President Gibson Kincaid is causing the most controversy, however. His proposal that the role of president should include executive powers is being taken seriously by the Assembly. Kincaid claims that having a single controlling voice will enable the Alliance to 'challenge our rivals' dominance'. There is a surprising amount of support for this combative rhetoric. Many agree that the Alliance could be stronger, and that [[Alliance Prime Minister|Prime Minister]] [[Edmund Mahon|Mahon]] is often hamstrung by bureaucracy. Rumours suggest that the [[Empire]] and [[Federation]] are watching this election far more closely than usual."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5ba49dddfaf85075672f381c GalNet: The Presidential Power Struggle]</ref>

*The other two candidates running against President Gibson Kincaid in the Alliance presidential election officially launched their campaigns. [[Alliance Tribune]] political journalist Vanya Driscoll stated: "[[Fazia Silva]] is a successful entrepreneur from the Vamm system. Although lacking political experience, she intends to leverage her business acumen to increase trade and boost economies throughout the Alliance. She has delegated control of her corporate empire to her sister, freeing her to run for office. [[Elijah Beck]], by contrast, is a highly experienced politician. Hailing from the [[Leesti]] system, he has served in the Assembly for over four decades. He is generally considered a safe pair of hands, but it's unlikely that he would bring about any significant changes as president. Recent polls suggest that Kincaid, Silva and Beck are roughly equal in terms of popular support, but it's still early days. All three will vigorously campaign for support in the coming weeks, in advance of the public vote on Tuesday the 16th of October."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5b98e927d72037476d01e345 GalNet: Candidates for Alliance Presidency Announced]</ref>
