Why everybody so happy about new elections? This is by far the best thing that Barto could do to keep his seat.
If the elections are held by the end of the season, every challenger would only have like 2 months for the (behind-the-scenes) negotiations for their crew. Then there are only like 2 months left to build a electoral campaign from scratch. It takes a lot longer than that to really convince the majority of local members, especially without the Godo Group support
