May 2021 Forward Presidential Alliance presidential primaries

The May 2021 Forward Presidential Alliance presidential primaries were held on May 5-May 6 to determine the nominee of the Forward Presidential Alliance in the May 2021 Doggerland presidential election.

Background
The CEB as proposed by the DL's co-leader Heiligerhahn passed with 2/3rds support, in it included a provision for monthly presidential elections. The president's only role is an aesthetic one, and does not interfere with the actual government of the Prime Minister. The meta reason behind this is that serverwide elections were abolished following the senate's abolition.

In order to qualify a run for president, candidates must submit 15 signatures from a minimum of 4 parties. 5 maximum signatures from within the candidate's own party and 3 external parties. Once a sheet is completed, candidates can submit it to the moderation team to have their qualification verified and their name be included on the ballot.

Candidates participating in primaries do not need the 15 signature list immediately, however will be required to fill it out upon their primary victory. Candidates can run external to their own party if they fail to win their party's nomination.

On May 5, 2021, The Communist Party formally joined the FPA. This was the first time the Communist Party was formally affiliated with the FPA and its predecessor the FSA in any form. This was met with some backlash from some of the more centrist members of the server.
