The '''Julani Cabinet''' | The '''Julani Cabinet''' was the first cabinet of [[the Republic]] following the return to democracy after the [[July Days]]. The cabinet was sworn in by President [[William F. Galvin]] on September 16, 2025. The cabinet was led by the [[Forward Party]] under Prime Minister [[Abu Mohammad al-Julani]]. On October 15, the entire cabinet was fired by President Galvin and the [[Epstein Cabinet]] was appointed. | ||

On September 30, 2025, Prime Minister Julani announced that he was sacking Andrew Yang. He cited the mismanagement of the Ministry, which had gone through a minor scandal earlier that day after multiple poor decisions, and also cited a lack of commitment to institutions. However, the firing is widely seen as an olive branch to the right-wing of the cabinet. That perception was re-enforced when Julani announced Yang's replacement: [[Rudy Juliani]]. A right wing stalwart, Juliani had retired from politics in March of 2025. He had been a member of [[Reform Party|Reform]]. He did not formally leave his party, stating that he "would only leave the party if it interferes with his duty to run the institution well". The appointment sparked large protests in the Labor Constituency, with protesters fearing an increase to the amount of time allocated to the constituency, since Juliani had previously advocated for major time increases for Labor. Juliani was sworn in by President William F. Galvin later that day. The next day, 2 MPs from MO-U crossed the floor and left the government to join [[Momentum-Free Republic|MO-FR]] in protest of Yang's firing. | On September 30, 2025, Prime Minister Julani announced that he was sacking Andrew Yang.

=== Decline in popularity === | |||
On October 4th, the government passed a law eviscerating the powers of the [[Ministry of Relations]]. As the law was passed, a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legislative_violence Parliament brawl] broke out between [[FWD]] MPs and [[RPRL]] MP (Hunter Biden, the only MP from the party). Hunter was widely seen as the winner, with 24 FWD MPs hospitalized. However, the law was passed into law anyways. Most power of the Ministry was transferred to the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs]]. By October 6, the government saw its favorability scores fall into the negative according to [[Anne Seltzer]] polling. In the days following the firing of Andrew Yang, [[the Republic]] was rocked by anti-government protests. The coalition's unpopularity wasn't helped by [[Reform Party|Reform's]] announcement that they would give external support to the government. The controversial party made the move in the aftermath of Juliani's appointment as Labor Minister. To make matters worse, the [[DPP]] announced their manifesto, which was broadly popular and included points such as a full, unconditional amnesty for those arrested in the [[July Coup]], abolition of the [[Senate]], ending constituency based voting, lowering of the electoral threshold to 3%, and the establishment of autonomous governments for each constituency. It also promised the reversal of the Relations Ministry reforms, a reduction of the power of the [[CCR]], and a reduction in violence. FWD's "future records" system would be majorly reformed and mostly removed if the manifesto was implemented. The manifesto led to the DPP attracting many voters who had previously been concerned about the DPP's lack of direction. | |||
=== Reorganization of the opposition === | |||
On October 6th, the [[Democratic Coordination Front]] was re-formed by the DPP, MO-FR, OP, RPRL, and AfD. The government heavily criticized the opposition for including the AfD in the coalition. However, the opposition maintained that the DCF was only an agreement not to form a coalition with FWD and to support the DPP's proposed reforms. During this time, the DCF had a nearly 20 point lead over the government parties. On October 8th, [[Joe Rogan]], speaking on behalf of the banned [[KVGW]], announced an agreement with the DPP. KVGW would endorse the DPP, sign onto the DCF, and in exchange, a DPP-led coalition in the future would remove the ban of the KVGW's political department and give a full and unconditional amnesty to those arrested in the July Days. Prime Minister Julani strongly condemned this, saying that the DPP was working with terrorists. As election day approached, the KMT strayed further from the coalition, attacking FWD for a lack of commitment to conservatism. | |||
=== End of the cabinet === | |||
{{Main|October 2025 general election}} | |||
Election day occurred on October 12, 2025. Counting lasted for three days, but it became apparent in the first returns that the government would be defeated by the DPP. Tsai Ing-wen declared victory early on Monday, the day after the election. However, Julani did not concede until Elections Moldova announced the full, certified results. On October 14, two days after the election with the ballots not fully counted, [[Dominic Fritz]], leader of MO-U and Minister of Transportation abruptly resigned from all of his posts, including as MO-U party leader, and got on a plane headed to Lithuania. The Boeing 747 he was in subsequently crashed in the vicinity of [[Grokton]]. However, he managed to survive and was rushed to Vilnius for treatment. A Grok Newsroom reporter managed to interview him, at which point he revealed that MO-U had been propped up through blackmail and coercion. He alleged that FWD had forced various Momentum members to sign confessions to treason in the immediate aftermath of the [[July Coup]]. A day later, President Galvin announced that he had received word from Prime Minister Julani that the entire cabinet would resign following Galvin's demand that they resign or be fired. Julani's position as FWD leader quickly became untenable and a leadership election was scheduled at the [[JBH Hotel]] in [[Republic City]]. Peter Dutton accused the President of illegally firing the cabinet, and sued at the Constitutional Court. However, the lawsuit was thrown out. The same day the cabinet resigned, October 15, the [[Epstein Cabinet]] was sworn in by President Galvin as a technocratic caretaker government. It was led by [[Harvey Epstein]], a respected independent civil servant. A day later, final election results were published, and Galvin invited all parties for negotiations at the [[Presidential Palace]] to form a permanent government. The [[Tsai Cabinet III]] was eventually formed by the DPP, OP, MO-FR, RPRL, with support from KVGW. | |||
