Edinough To Switch To Democratic-Reformist Party, Sources Say
Trinton's lieutenant governor to leave Conservative party as soon as Monday, according to sources
VRISTO COLONADO, TRI--Trinton's Lieutenant Governor, Marcus Edinough (CNS), is likely to switch political parties, according to sources close to the situation.
Rumors Edinough might defect to the Democratic-Reformist (DR) party have been swirling around for months. However, friends close to the lieutenant governor say he is finally ready to make the switch official.
"I think it's about 90% for sure that he is going to leave the Conservatives and join the DRP," one source, who asked not to be identified, told GNN News.
Edinough, who at 39-years-old is widely considered a rising star in the CNS party in liberal-leaning Trinton, is the son of Trinton's former and highly popular Governor Tracey Edinough. Like his father, the younger Edinough holds many moderate views, particularly on social issues, which is the main reason he is leaving the party, friends say.
"He's been growing very weary of the Conservative party's drift to the right on things like abortion and gay marriage and stem-cell research," another source, who also asked to remain anonymous for this article, said. "He really feels like the Conservative party is not the same party it was when his dad was in politics."
Edinough, a married father of three, lives with his wife in Ocean City. He and his wife own a chain of small businesses in the southern Trinton area. In late 2008, Conservative party leaders convinced Edinough, who had never held elected office, to run for lieutenant governor. He ran unopposed in the CNS primary, and in the general election, easily defeated NAT state representative Hannah Osher 58.33% to 41.67%, respectively.
If he does defect to the Democratic-Reformist party, Edinough will become the first DR lieutenant governor to hold office since 1980.
