NEWS 28 - Republican David Spane has been elected Governor of Cameron, defeating 10 year veteran Governor Robin O'Keeffe after votes were tallied and certified in the state. Experts say her loss to Spane had been building since she won reelection in 2022.

"It is an honor to be elected the next Governor Of Cameron, and I promise as I have said on my campaign trail, that I will fight Government corruption, investigate excessive spending by Cameron State agencies, and enact more protections for our Law Enforcement agencies," said Spane. "Our state for far too long has been oppressed by policies created by the O'Keeffe administration. We will change that and Cameroons will have more rights than any other state in the country. I am committed to working hard for my supporters and even non-supporters who may not have necessarily supported me. That doesn't matter now. The future of this state and the country rely on strong leadership and we can't be limited in our search for greatness by Government overreach."

Robin O'Keeffe has served as Governor since 2014, and her time in office ends after 10 years. She ended her role as Governor as the least popular Governor within the country, as her policies stripped rights away from Cameroons, implemented harsh punishments for law-abiding citizens and destroyed the economy. She is regarded as the worst Governor in 10 polls and ranked low in over 25 polls conducted.

"Governor O'Keeffe failed to do her job and that showed as voters turned their backs on her during this election cycle," said a Cameron Nationalist voter. "There was no way forward for her, and I think she knew that going into this election. She had a chance to fix a lot of the problems the State faced when she narrowly won reelection in 2022. She had a deal with state lawmakers to introduce lower prices and the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act that passed unanimously in the State Senate and House, but she vetoed the bill. She was the cause of the State's heavy inflation and contributed to worsening it."

Spane will be sworn in at the State House on May 10, at 12:30 PM. Robin O'Keeffe's term expires at 12:30 PM, which she will then leave the State Capital and return to her home, in Braxton, Lorray. Spane already has his day one priorities laid out and he says he is "ready to get to work." He is expected to be sworn in alongside his Lt. Governor Pick Marcel Wallace.
