According to OrgLaw Article III Section 10 :
"The Senäts shall, after every general election of a senator, choose one of its members to be the President of the Senäts to be called the Mençéi, or in English the Lord President (...)"
According to Standing Rules of the Senate, Rule 2
"Rule 2 codifies the process of electing a Mençei, what to do if there's no Mençei, and provides tools to the Senate to continue operation should the Mençei be unavailable for a certain period.
At the beginning of each new term, and whenever the position is vacant, the Senate shall choose a Lord President (Mençei) from among its members to perform the duties of the Chair.
Pending the election of a Mençei, the Dean of the Senate shall perform the duties of the Chair as Acting Mençei. Should the Dean of the Senate be absent or unwilling, seniority will be followed to select a replacement.
The Acting Mençei shall allow for nominations to be lodged for a period of at least a week from the beginning of a term. Should a Senator receive nominations from a majority of Senators, the nomination period shall end and the Senator be considered duly elected; otherwise, a ballot shall be held using Instant Runoff Voting. Seniority shall resolve any ties that may occur during any stage of elimination.
The Mençei shall have the right to name a Senator to perform the duties of the Chair as Deputy Mençei, should he or she be absent for a protracted period of time, and to name a Senator to represent him in any particular function he or she may hold by right of law.
Should the Mençei be absent without having named a replacement, the Senate shall be empowered to select a Senator to perform the duties of the Chair as Deputy Mençei, until such a time as the Mençei returns to the floor."
Therefore, I have the pleasure to welcome all nominations in this thread.
You have until Tuesday September 29th 11:59pm TST to declare your choice.
I nominate myself again.
I would like to nominate myself as Mençei
I second Antaglha.

Just a quick nudge to the Senäts for the purpose of expediting preparations for the State Opening - the nomination period has ended on the 29th, with two nominations but no outright majority, and therefore things should now move to an Instant Runoff ballot between Senators Somelieir and Ardpresteir.
If I can assist with holding the ballot, let me know.
I vote for Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir, assuming my vote is in order.
I vote for Senator Somelieir.
I'd like to withdraw my candidature, and vote for Senator Somelieir.
The nomination has been withdrawn and there is only one candidate running, and a majority of Senators have nominated and/or voted for S:da Somelieir - good enough for the Chancery to declare the Senator for Atatürk elected as Mençei. Database is updated and board moderation handover will happen soon-ish.

Thank you and everyone for their votes and support, I shall do my best in my role as Mençei
