Next Minister of Magic?

Interim Minister of Magic, Atticus Rivera, 35, has announced a ministerial election will take place in November.

Rivera has been in the position since late June when Pryce Edgar Hir, 59, retired from office after being elected Minister of Magic during the 1943 election.

“It has been a pleasure to serve these last two months as the Interim Minister of Magic,” said Rivera. “However, I am aware that is not a position I was elected into. The citizens of this country deserve to have a leader they elected directly. I am confident that I will be that choice when it is time for ballots to be cast.”

While no other candidates have announced a campaign yet, our sources indicate that at least two others have been contacting campaign management firms in the last several weeks.
