Chapter 512: Paul's Deadlock

From the towns where votes had already been counted, it was evident that Oscar Poli still wielded significant influence in Corsica.

After all, his father was the founder of the Corsican Restoration Faction and had managed to drive out the Genoan rulers and even briefly claimed independence. After France purchased Corsica, Poli himself led troops against the French Army. Although he was defeated, his fame had spread throughout Corsica.

Thus, the Paoli Faction's Members of Parliament firmly secured 35% of the votes.

The Pro-France Faction also emerged unexpectedly strong. With Count Butafuoco surprisingly setting aside his prejudices and joining forces with the Liberals, they captured nearly 30% of the votes.
