Oliver Wright (born 27 June 1968) is a Sallian politician who served as Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sallia from 1995 to 2015. He became an MP in the 1987 general election at just 19, standing in his hometown of James Park. In his early years, he served in the Cabinet in high roles in quick succession: as Home Secretary from 1988-89, Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1989-90 and Foreign Secretary from 1990-92. After Labour's defeat at the 1992 general election, Wright resigned from the Shadow Cabinet and returned to the backbenches. In 1994, the Labour Party lost its leader and Wright won the subsequent leadership election. In 1995, the governing Liberal Party called a snap general election, which was won by Labour with the biggest landslide majority in history.
Wright went on to win another four general elections until his resignation as Prime Minister and Leader of the Labour Party in June 2015. He then returned to the backbenches where he has remained ever since.
