{{wp|Major General|Mj. general}} '''Kashim Shehu''' (born April 11 1937-17 July 1985, aged 48) was a [[Bamvango|Bamvangan]] military officer who was the head of state of the country from 1977 to 1985 ruling as a {{wp|military dictatorship|military dictator}} during that period. Taking office in a coup d'état against president [[Joshua Ngakoutou]] Shehu ruled one of the most repressive and eccentric dictatorships in [[Bahia]]n history marked by large scale human right abuses.  


Born in a farming village in the Chariad province in South Manshara colony from the {{wp|Kanembu people|Kamba}} ethnic group Shehu joined the newly formed National Bamvangan Army at the age of 16. He rose his ways through the ranks through loyalty to the central command and close connection to [[Estmere|Estmerish]] intelligence services. His supposed apolitical nature meant in 1975 Shehu was appointed chief of the army by president Joshua Ngakoutou but in 1977 he launched a successful coup against Ngakoutou, dissolving the government and replacing it with a military-appointed Security Commission.

Shehu was initially very popular dismissing corrupt officials whilst his finance minister, Herbert Koulamallah, implemented economic reforms that helped reduce inflation and boost exports. Early on however Shehu began to spearhead a repressive policy forming the National Youth Brigade to act as a secret police. His government would become marked by human right abuses with the most infamous being the 1978 D'jombo Football Stadium massacre where 312 anti-regime activists were massacred by Shehus forces.

Over time Shehu dismissed technocrats and appointed loyalists to their place, with the economy increasingly declining as the government became defined by a network of patronage and corruption, spending a quarter of the state budget in 1979 on a new presidential palace which included three gold statues of himself. Shehu sought to create a grandiose cult of personality calling himself the "father of the nation".

The '''elections for the constituent ''sejm''''' were held in the [[East Miersa|Provisional Government of the Republic of Miersa]] (modern day East Miersa) on the 4 October 1936. Considered to be the first free elections in an independent [[Miersa]]n state and held shortly after the partition of Miersa via the Godfredson Plan the election resulted in a landslide victory for the left-wing [[Miersan Section of the Workers' International]].


The 1980 worldwide recession plunged Bamvango in economic crisis, which was exacerbated when Shehu unilaterally announced the demonetisation of BVS1,000 banknotes to reduce inflation and reduce the use of illicit cash. In foreign policy he became increasingly erratic, withdrawing Bamvango from the [[Community of Nations]] in 1981 and announcing Bamvango would seek to acquire nuclear weapons. Shehu would also begin border conflicts with [[The Magadi]] and [[Yemet]] as part of his self-professed strategy to eliminate socialism in Bahia. This was combined with Shehu increasingly concentrating power in his own Kamba ethnic group by seizing land from Horo and Welke people to be given to his supporters.

Both the SdRM and MSC backed the formation of a secular liberal democratic republic committed to land reform, socialisation of industry and secularisation whilst the more radical MSMR called for the formation of a socialist government committed to revolutionary councilism. All three parties in the provisional government backed alignment with Valduvia with only the opposition Party for the Defence of the Miersan Nation supporting rapprochement with the [[Soravia]]n backed [[West Miersa|Krada government]].


These land policies often resulted in massacres of Horo's and Welke's which in turn led to the creation of anti-Kamba brigades amongst these groups that opposed the Shehu government and its Kamba favouritism, eventually culminating in the creation of a united anti-Shehu front the [[Bamvangan People's Revolutionary Organisation]] (BPRO). The formation of the BPRO in 1982 would start the [[Bamvangan Bush War]] which would lead to the Shehu regime to become increasingly genocidal and repressive.  
The contradictions within the provisional government led to the decision to hold an election for a constituent ''sejm''. The SdMR and MSC however could not agree on a common programme whilst the MSMR enjoyed a superior organisation, prestige from their perceived role as liberators from Gaullican rule, ties to Valduvia and strong support from the armed forces.  


With the Bush War turning against his government and human right abuses tarnishing his image Shehu was a global pariah by 1985.

The MSMR gained a substantial majority in the constitutional sejm with the MSC and SdRM failing to make much impact. The MSMR gained a decisive majority in urban areas and also did well amongst poor peasants. The MSC also did well among landless peasants due to their strong support for land reform whilst the SdRM performed poorly outside the middle classes. As a result of the election the 1938 constitution would be a communist document being almost entirely drafted by the MSMR. The 1938 constitution made elections non-partisan making this the first and only multi-party election in an independent East Miersa.  


Shehu is widely considered one of the most brutal and inept leaders in Bahian history with Bamvango declining in many factors under his rule, although his supporters claim Shehu was admirable as a nationalist. It's believed up to 250,000 people died under his rule.  
Historians have debated whether the 1936 election was free or fair, as many people were disenfranchised for collaboration with Gaullican and Soravian authorities and several right-wing parties banned.

The elections for the constituent sejm were held in the Provisional Government of the Republic of Miersa (modern day East Miersa) on the 4 October 1936. Considered to be the first free elections in an independent Miersan state and held shortly after the partition of Miersa via the Godfredson Plan the election resulted in a landslide victory for the left-wing Miersan Section of the Workers' International.

Held in the aftermath of the Great War, the Miersan General Strike and the Godfredson Plan the pro-Valduvian Provisional Government formed in the predominantly former Gaullican easts was a grand coalition between the far-left MSMR and the moderate Social Democracy of the Republic of Miersa and Miersan Peasant Party. Both the SdRM and MSC backed the formation of a secular liberal democratic republic committed to land reform, socialisation of industry and secularisation whilst the more radical MSMR called for the formation of a socialist government committed to revolutionary councilism. All three parties in the provisional government backed alignment with Valduvia with only the opposition Party for the Defence of the Miersan Nation supporting rapprochement with the Soravian backed Krada government.

The contradictions within the provisional government led to the decision to hold an election for a constituent sejm. The SdMR and MSC however could not agree on a common programme whilst the MSMR enjoyed a superior organisation, prestige from their perceived role as liberators from Gaullican rule, ties to Valduvia and strong support from the armed forces.

The MSMR gained a substantial majority in the constitutional sejm with the MSC and SdRM failing to make much impact. The MSMR gained a decisive majority in urban areas and also did well amongst poor peasants. The MSC also did well among landless peasants due to their strong support for land reform whilst the SdRM performed poorly outside the middle classes. As a result of the election the 1938 constitution would be a communist document being almost entirely drafted by the MSMR. The 1938 constitution made elections non-partisan making this the first and only multi-party election in an independent East Miersa.

Historians have debated whether the 1936 election was free or fair, as many people were disenfranchised for collaboration with Gaullican and Soravian authorities and several right-wing parties banned. However the election itself was held with little intimidation and no instance of electoral fraud have been recorded.
