Office of the President 8 Oct 2024

On Sunday, October 6th, at 05:00 AM CET, the results of Liberland’s Test Congress Election were tallied.
This marked the full deployment of our blockchain-based election system, ensuring that the results are final and immutable.
The election process, governed by a simple set of rules, was entirely algorithmic, providing transparency. This system has a unique ability to eliminate doubt regarding election outcomes, a challenge faced by many countries still relying on traditional methods. We hope to be a pioneering example of what will soon become common practice.
The Liberland Congress Elections have brought significant and impactful changes to Congress. The winner of this election is Justin Sun, a serial entrepreneur and founder of the TRON (TRX) network. President Vít Jedlička has nominated Speaker Sun to serve as the acting Prime Minister of Liberland.
Alongside Prime Minister Sun, three Members of Congress from the previous election period have been re-elected:
Navid Saberin
Dorian Stern Vukotić
Michal Ptáčník
These three are well-established Liberlanders, recognised and respected members of our national community.
The newly elected Members of Congress are:
Justin Sun (Speaker)
Evan Luthra
Jillian Godsil
Ivan Pernar
Justin Sun and Evan Luthra are newcomers to Liberland but have consistently proven themselves as accomplished entrepreneurs in the crypto space. Their track records as genuine “doers” will be instrumental in advancing our blockchain projects, and their skill and dedication promise to benefit Liberland as a whole.
Jillian Godsil, a seasoned Liberland representative and prominent journalist, will contribute immensely, especially in presenting Liberland to the broader public.
Last but certainly not least, Ivan Pernar is a former member of the Croatian Parliament who presented for the last five years a unique voice of reason in the name of liberty on the Croatian political scene.
The Provisional Government extends its congratulations to all the winners and eagerly anticipates Congress’s growing influence within our political system.
