Transitional Republic of Amin

The Transitional Republic of Amin was the name of Amin after its independence, but before a constitution was written. Its history was one of turmoil and war, but by the end of it, the constitution had been completed.

First Election
In the first Aminian Election, the LDP under Arthur el-Vaziri, won the most seats, and gained majority control of the council with support from the SDP and People's Front.

Writing the Constitution
Following the election, Arthur el-Vaziri was appointed Governor by the newly elected Collective Council, and presided over the writing of the constitution. The opposition CPA won a vote forcing any constitution to require two thirds majority approval in the council. As debates heated up and time passed, el-Vaziri's attitude towards democracy changed.

Vazirist Coup
With the backing of the left wing parties, namely the PSP, AFP and SDP, el-Vaziri launched a coup against the Collective Council, arresting all its members and declaring it dissolved. El-Vaziri then formed the Transitional Council, stacked with appointed loyalists to finish writing the constitution without the elected council's oversight. The Vaziri Coup triggered a civil war that ended with pro CPA militias marching on the capital and the PSP and AFP betraying el-Vaziri. Shortly before the war ended, one of el-Vaziri's allies in the SDP, Anthony Fleming, betrayed him and had him and the leader of the AFP, Omar Alston, shot in the head in a van as they left Eman. Fleming then tried to create a rival government in Majim, as Davin Stanton, leader of the CPA, seized power in Eman, in the name of democracy, after being freed from el-Vaziri's captivity. Fleming did not last long before surrendering to Stanton's armies.

Democratic Revival
After seizing power, Davin Stanton restored the Collective Council, and they voted to immediately ban those parties that remained under leadership of pro Vaziri figures. The LDP was reformed by Harold Manson into the CLP, and decided to back Stanton for Governor. Stanton was duly elected, and presided over the completion of the constitution.
