1945-1971

This era was marked by the communist government installed by the Yedinburg Pact at the end of the Second Great War. The sole legal party was the Blivenist-Hoevenist Angelean Communist Party, with all politiipal leadershp during this era coming from that single party. Despite initially repressive policies, especially during the 1950s, liberalization policies slowly expanded and reformed government access, cluminating in 1971 with free elections.

5		Cherf Oketha (1914–2003)	29 April 1969	3 September 1971	Communist	New Ketha	After taking power in Bloodless April, Oketha served as General Secretary of Los Angeles from 1969 until his inauguration as president in 1971. Oketha was responsible for many democratic reforms, including the expansion of the franchise to all citizens, not just party members, the legalization of opposition parties, and the transfer of power to the Presidium, effectively turning the previously autocratic General Secretary position into an indirectly elected head of government and the previously rubber stamping body into a full fledged legislature. For his acts he has been called the "Father of Los Angeles".
