NARBONNE, ALDURIA (NABC NEWS) -- A national unity convention held by the National Congress for Social Democracy and the Communist Party of Alduria has resulted in a merger of both parties into the Democratic Farmer–Labor Party of Alduria.

Leading the merger effort over the course of a week-long unity convention was Elijah Garza, the head of the Communist Parliamentary Party and MP from Mondego. The idea was born from what he called "the Garza Plan", a document that circulated among leftist politicians that called for a grand alliance of the left. The results of the first national general election led to what he called a "crisis of purpose."

Nadya Camile Albert, the leader of the Social Democrats, chaired the Fusion Committee. The Committee also had key labor and farmer union leaders from around the nation, including the Aldurian Union of Teamsters and the National Labor Union.

The convention approved a series of resolutions and legal documents that formalized the union of the parties, adopting a common platform and statement of values - among them the declared aim to "keep a grand union of the Aldurian left" to "fight for the Aldurian worker" and "shared prosperity".

The new party will merge its parliamentary parties, creating a new caucus in Parliament that will hold 26 seats. It would become the fourth largest political party in Parliament.

The convention was called by the individual Party Congresses of each party, held over seven days at the Narbonne Convention Center.

The convention elected Nadya Camille Albert as its Temporary Leader, to serve the party as Leader for the next few months as the party conducts an internal primary contest for leader. As Temporarly Leader, Ms. Albert will be barred from pursuing leadership herself in the upcoming internal primary contest.
