The results just before closing:
UKPP 11 seats, had 8 seats (+3) 185 votes, 27.99% of total, 61.87% of members
TUP 10 seats, had 13 seats (-3) 164 votes, 24.81% of total, 62.60% of members
NE 8 seats (7 NE had 10 (-3) 1 WRP (+1)), 134 votes, 20.27% of total, 80.72% of members (NE + WRP)
ESO 7 seats (5 ESO (-1) 2 PCP (+2)), 120 votes, 18.15% of total, 89.55% of members (ESO + PCP)
UKRP 4 seats had 3 (+1) 58 votes, 8.77% of total, 71.60% of members
Total seats 40, total votes 661, 65.84% of party members voted.
Now we have to wait whether admins will delete votes. This will be clear on 6 hours eRep time.
It is clear that UKPP is the big winner (+3) and that TUP and NE lost the most seats (-3 both). Minor loss for ESO (-1) and minor gain for UKRP (+1).
PCP (+2) and WRP (+1) makes the congress more diverse. Good action from ESO and NE to let these parties run under their banners. It would be nice when other non top 5 parties will get this chance too next election.
New members
I think UKPP impressive recruitment drive from the last two weeks was the most important leading to this result. Congrats! I do hope they can keep their new members alive.
The big fight in media and ingame messages between TUP and NE seems to be not leading in their favours.
All parties except for UKPP were more or less the same in members the last two weeks, with a little gain in membership we see for UKRP and a little loss for TUP.
Congrats to all who have voted!

A few numbers are wrong, but a good article none the less.
When something is wrong, I do apologize. Please inform me where the mistakes have been made, so I can correct them.
V&S.
New Era had the PCP vote last month, this month ESO out bidded us for that. This explains the fall in seats/votes for New Era as PCP have enough voters for 2 congressmen.
We got 10 last month but if you subtract PCP that means that we got 8 on our own. Since we got 8 this month, the New Era vote actually stayed steady.
Since New Era is worth 7 seats going by party membership, getting 8 is a good result!
I found this about support for NE last month:
www.erepublik.com/en/article/4-parties-support-new-era-for-congress-2144725/1/20
I found also this: www.erepublik.com/en/article/new-era-congress-team-2144468/1/20
There I do not see PCP supported NE in October.
I checked also some PCP articles, didn't find their support for NE either.
PCP had a very inactive month, everything was done at the last minute and they didn't get any guys over to run for Congress. I wasn't invovled with this so I don't know the details, I was just told it happened.
It was a similar story with CP elections where we won their forum vote but it was too late to get it made official in game. It's good to see them back this month and more active!
We did campaign for them to vote for us and a lot must have as we basically got more votes than members.
This is my understanding of it anyway.
voted o/
Goku is correct, our CP had rl emergency so we had to do it last min.
Thanks to the parties that allowed the smaller guys to run.
The support from PCP in October for NE was not even published, but indeed looking to the votes it seemed there was support.
Election final results are published. Not much changed, -2 votes for UKPP and -1 vote for TUP.
In seats all stays the same.
Congrats to all elected members of congress!
Hope your PP is okay Aces man. Good bunch of lads at PCP and great to see them in Congress again.
Also good result for WRP's Huey George who ran on the New Era ticket. Really is a nice guy and will do a fantastic job in Congress. Our vote was down but that was without PCP offical support this month, so we have a lot of positives from that.
Congratulations to all successful candidates
