|
Member of the Euclean Parliament (since 2004) Other offices
|
Logo of Allert Gorter | Gorter is the candidate from the ruling liberal Liveable Alsland party and a supporter of Liekele Ykema's government. He is currently the longest serving Member of the Euclean Parliament from Alsland having previously represented the National Bloc until 2015. Gorter was drafted as the nominee after the party failed to have a notable volunteer for the candidacy. His campaign has focused on his diplomatic career and ability to unify a divided nation, despite this Gorter has consistently polled lowest out of any Presidential candidate owing to the unpopularity of the incumbent government. | |
| Murk Jorna (54) National Bloc |
|
Secretary of the President of Alsland (since 2020) Other offices
|
Logo of Murk Jorna | Jorna was chosen as the Presidential nominee for the National Bloc on similar accounts as Gorter, having previously not sought the role but was drafted after other notable candidates failed to be agreed upon. Jorna was selected due to his relative distance from Federal Politics owing to his role as the Chief Secretary of the President of Alsland and a prior successful political career prior to 2005. Jorna's candidacy has been criticised due to his lacking name recognition nationally and links to Hepke Veltman who decided against running for re-election due to historically low approval ratings. | |

Minister of Finance (2022–2023) Other offices
