The person who was presiding over the assembly in the Orient announced so.

At that moment, applause rang out from the audience.

It seems that in the Orient, it is a custom that the members of the assembly indicate their approval or disapproval of the proposals made by the other members of the assembly by whether or not they applaud the proposals.

If the applause is loud, it is considered that there are many affirmative opinions, and if the number of applause is small, it is considered that the proposal is rejected.

Incidentally, when there is a delicate moment or when there is an objection, they ask the council members to stand up and look at the number of those who are standing.

Well, it seems that they don't count the number very properly either.

"I can't believe that Ai is really going to be the Speaker. That's great, Mr. Alphonse. I don't think it's ever happened before that you became the Speaker of the House without having been a member of the House.

I wonder if Zion, who is sitting next to Kristina on the opposite side of the table from her, was not so surprised, or maybe he predicted it from his fortune-telling.

I told them to clap as hard as they could, because the harder and louder they clapped the same number of hands, the better chance Ai had of becoming the chairperson.

In order to control the chaos, normally, the council should elect a person who has been a councilor for a long period of time and is familiar with the council.

However, Banagher and others worked behind the scenes to get Ai appointed as the chairperson, and it worked out well.

Furthermore, it seems that during the pre-council stage, the hands of the Soma Church organization, which had somehow survived, reached out to those who were opposed to Ai's appointment as the chairperson of the council.

It may have something to do with the fact that the Protector, together with the military units, went to the homes of the opponents to persuade them that they should decide on a chairman immediately to prevent such a situation from continuing forever and not to prolong the unnecessary chaos.

The momentum of the opposition was thus squelched, and as a result, Ai was accepted by a majority vote.

Because, as a rule in this country, the Speaker is guaranteed to remain a member of the Diet for as long as he/she is the Speaker, without election, and can remain the Speaker until he/she resigns of his/her own will or dies.

Apparently, this is related to the fact that the successive chairmanships were monopolized by a few families called "famous families" in the Orient.

It was implicitly agreed that there were three families, and if any of the three families produced a member who became the chairman, he or she was supposed to continue to be the chairman until his or her death.

When the chairperson passed away, the new chairperson would be elected from one of the remaining two houses, which had been the trend in the Orient until now.

The reason why Ai was able to become the chairman this time may have something to do with the fact that the councilors from the other two houses were not so old yet.

It might have been difficult for Ai to become the chairman if either of the two houses had a councilor who was called an elder, but unfortunately, all the elders have disappeared recently.
