After a fierce campaign Intriem President Santo hung on by capturing 43.63% of the vote, Rheat recieved 42.18%, and Rodriguez recieved 14.19%.

Santo gave his acceptance speech and said, "I am glad the citizens of of Wrigleyivy choose to have me in office for 3 years. It feels great. Though, I didn't recieve a majority of the vote, and I must work together with all citizens of Wrigleyivy."

Rheat said, "It was a great run and we fell short, but we will be back in 2007!" He also said that he hopes he can work together as a High Rep. with the President.

Rodriguez said, "The Socialist pary will gain strength, as time goes on. I also want to give my congrats to the President, and hope we can work together with him." Rodriguez is the govenor of Shefield, a province in Wrigleyivy.
