He was elected and led the SRPO into the 2015 election, forming a coalition with the SRPO, Modern Centre Party and the Sotirian Democratic Homeland.
Oberhauser's government continued fiscal discipline but also saw a raise in the minimum wage and an expansion of the social safety net. Oberhauser also promoted a pro-immigration policy and supported LGBT+ and minority rights. However his government also saw a rise in violent crime which he was harshly criticised for as well as several corruption scandals. Oberhauser was also seen to rely heavily on spin doctors.

Early life

He initially studied History at the Imperial Academy of Weisstadt from 1980, but dropped out in 1982 studying political science at Gofberg University. He graduated with a masters in the subject in 1987.
Political career
After graduation Oberhauser joined the Social Democratic Radical Party of Werania (SPRO) and worked as a correspondent for the right-wing tabloid the Daily Herald. In 1990 he left the Herald to work for the SPRO in its campaign office during the 1991 general election. Following the election Oberhauser was appointed to work for SPRO leader and Chancellor Wolfgang Löscher, becoming Löscher's Deputy Chief Communications Officer in 1992. In his role as communications officer Oberhauser brought connections with right-wing tabloids that he had cultivated during his three years at the Daily Herald, leading to the government to adopt a more right-wing tone as its popularity sank in the face of a reinvigorated National Consolidation Party. Oberhauser was seen in this period as being "indispensable" in persuading the left-wing of the SPRO to approve of several privatisations and budget cuts undertaken during the Löscher government.
In 1995 the government narrowly secured re-election but when into coalition with the socialist Weranic Section of the Workers' International. Oberhauser was elected as a Volkstag member in this election but his links with right-wing tabloids meant he was deemed unsuitable to continue working for the press office as the government took on a more left-wing tone.
