*[[President of the Alliance|President]] Gibson Kincaid has been accused of receiving illegal campaign funding via the [[Bank of Zaonce]]. [[Council Member|Councillor]] [[Elijah Beck]] presented evidence to a special session of the [[Alliance Assembly]]: "During September 3304, President Kincaid's re-election campaign received several billion credits worth of undeclared funds. I have received data suggesting that these transactions were secretly arranged by a senior figure within the Bank of Zaonce. Regrettably I cannot reveal the source of this evidence since it constitutes part of an ongoing investigation. However, I call upon the Assembly to open an official inquiry to establish if there was any violation of campaign finance law." Councillor Beck's proposal was approved by a majority vote, after which [[Alliance Prime Minister|Prime Minister]] [[Edmund Mahon]] authorised the inquiry to begin immediately. As yet there has been no comment from President Kincaid.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5cc9690178c2a0747d0fdbe2 GalNet: President Kincaid Illegal Funding Allegations]</ref> | |||

*Prime Minister [[Edmund Mahon]] has once again clashed with President Gibson Kincaid, following the latter's attempt to take control of government policy during an [[Alliance Assembly|Assembly]] session. Political journalist [[Vanya Driscoll]] reported for The [[Alliance Tribune]]: "There were dramatic scenes in the Assembly as President Kincaid sought to steer debates on military strategy, making several demands for increased funding towards new fleets. Prime Minister Mahon eventually stepped in and rejected these proposals outright. Kincaid was further reminded that a prior request for executive presidential powers had been unsuccessful, even if he insists on behaving otherwise. Although he still has supporters, a number of [[Council Member|councillors]] have privately opined that Kincaid is now a toxic presence at odds with the Alliance's ethos."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5cc1717a8919b159fb3952d5 GalNet: Kincaid and Mahon Clash in Alliance Assembly]</ref> | *Prime Minister [[Edmund Mahon]] has once again clashed with President Gibson Kincaid, following the latter's attempt to take control of government policy during an [[Alliance Assembly|Assembly]] session.
