Gaþejeris "Eris" Fredrycesem Kellisyen is a Seketese politician who served as the Prime Minister of Seketan from 21 March 2017 to 11 April 2021. He served as a Member of the Commons Council for Conelibek University from 2010 to 2021 and leader of the Socialist Party from 2014 to 2021.
Kellisyen was born in Conelibek in 1974, four years before the 1978 Seketese revolution. He joined the Socialist Party in his early adulthood and was elected as a Member of the Commons Council (MH) in the Hérvynsken in the 2010 Seketese election. After losing the 2014 election, Prime Minister & party leader Aleksander Aegis resigned, leading Kellisyen to become the leader of the party in 2014. After the 2017 Seketese election, the Socialist Party won a minority government and Kellisyen was sworn in as the Prime Minister of Seketan. His party won in the snap 2018 election. His government tackled the COVID-19 pandemic in Seketan during its inital waves. He lost his own seat, as well as the government, in the 2021 Seketese general election.
Early life
Eris Kellisyen was born in Fjedor, Gjenor, Seketan in 1974 to Pajrik, a school teacher, and Melissa Kellisyen, a nurse. In 1982 his family moved to Conelibek after his father got a position teaching at Mjener Collage. He enrolled at University of North Conelibek in 1992 in their law program and would attend law school at McGill University, and graduated with honours in 2001.
Upon graduation, Kellsiyen worked as a paralegal in Conelibek, and later became a clerk for Seketese Supreme Court Justice Antoni Fyesa.
Political career
During his time at University and as a paralegal, Kellisyen joined and volunteered for the Socialist Party. He had to revoke his membership with the party in 2001 when he worked for Justice Antoni Fyesa. Later he would rejoin the party in 2012 before running for office.
Member of the Commons Council
In 2010 Kellisyen was elected to the Hérvynsken for the district of Conelibek University for the Socialists. The election saw his party win a majority government, where Kellisyen served as a parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Justice until 2012, and under-minister for defence until 2014. Kellisyen would go on to be re-elected 3 times in 2014, 2017, and 2021.
Co-Chair of the Socialist Party
Shortly after being elected, Kellisyen was elected by the Socialist Caucus to be the co-chair of the Socialist Party. His other co-chair, elected by the members of the party, was Michel Hojekal. He would serve this role until elected leader of the party in 2014, alongside his parliamentary roles. After announcing his candidacy for leadership, he would resign his position.
Leader of the Socialist Party
After losing the 2014 Seketese election, Prime Minister & party leader Aleksander Aegis announced his resignation as both leader and MH. Kellisyen was seen as a possible candidate due to his role as co-chair and his popularity with moderate members and would announce his candidacy in January. His main opponent was former Defense Minister Markus Neilan. On February 12, 2021 Kellisyen was elected leader of the party on the second ballot, beating Neilan 57% - 43%.
