Vyaparam Vedan is a Mel-akkan politician and former computer scientist serving as the current Deputy Leader of the Government of Mel-akkam, as well as the leader of the centre-right Liberal Democratic Party, having presviously served as Leader of the Government from 2022 to 2023.
Early Life
Vedan was born in 1996 to the noted Indian businessman Arvind Vedan and his Mel-akkan Dravidian wife in Delhi. After their divorce, he was taken by his mother to live in Mohenjo-daro, and later studied computer science the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States.
Political Career
Vedan joined the Liberal Democratic Party in 2011, becoming its leader in 2017. When his party won the 2022 Autumnal Equinox election, he became the first non-Progressive Leader of the Government. He began reforms aiming for a capitalist economy, but protests forced him to resign and call Mel-akkam's first ever snap election, which led to the Progressives regaining power. His party sank in prominence and votes, but regained some of its former sway after the 2023 Autumnal Equinox Repeat Election left them in a kingmaker position. His party proceeded to form a coalition with the Progressives and Vedan assumed the post of Deputy Leader of the Government.
Political Positions
Vedan was initially considered to be a member of the LDP's most pro-market faction, as well as an adherent of techno-populism and the California Ideology. However, he shifted his stances in the run-up to the 2023 Autumnal Equinox Election, expressing his willingness to work within the framework of the current socialist system, albeit with greater freedoms and protections for small businesses.
