Benedict Marian Král (born 22 June 1964), commonly known by his initials BMK, is the 13th and current Primar of Ostrozava. He previously served as the Subprimar of Orloşka from 2016 to 2021, and as a Member of the People's Congress (MPC) for the district of Tardaňsk from 2009 to 2016, debasing then-Facilitator Denis Pekár of the Progressive Party. Prior to his entrance into Prime Politics, Král spent two decades as a member of the Orloşkan Subprime Congress, where he became famous as a populist and grassroots-oriented politician, particularly in his early resistance to the Declaration of Neutrality of 1989.
Originally from Ardovia, Král studied classics and later recieved a Ph.D in Geopolitics at the Institute for Republican Political Science in Valegoria, graduating in 1987. He served as Chief Political Advisor for the National Arts Council under the first Sedláková administration, leaving over 'irreconcilable differences over neutrality' in 1989, at which point he moved to Orloşka and began seeking a career in local politics, first as the director of the Orloşkan Academics' Union, and then as part of the Orloşkan Subprime Congress's Tardaňsk District IV from 1991 to 2008, at which point he ran for the Prime Government, securing the MPC seat for the district of Tardaňsk in 2009. After several years as MPC for Tardaňsk, Král resigned to compete in the 2014 Orloşkan Election for Subprimar, winning in a landslide against Progressive incumbent Žigmund Koleno; Král's election put him on the map as the leader of the "Red Wave" across municipal and local elections taking place after Socialist Pushback to the Progressive handling of the 2005 Polnitsan War and subsequent economic crisis in Ostrozava.
