Background
Luka Petrović was born into a family initially holding good fortune, primarily provided by his father due to the family only being him and his father after there were past family issues causing the family to split. Despite financial sensibility, the financial stability crumbled when his father succumbed to alcohol addiction, leading to the aforementioned financial mismanagement. Reckless gambling following the addiction had caused the aforementioned financial instability, resulting in the loss of their home and leaving them homeless, seeking refuge in temporary accommodations with stringent time rules set to only breakfast, lunch, dinner and sleeping times, any time between those they were not allowed to stay in the accommodation.

Understanding the harsh realities faced by many in similar circumstances fuelled Luka's determination to bring change. Simultaneously, he faced the pressing need to rebuild his family's life and secure a place to live. Luka had found a goal but in the mean time he found a job where worked at a local farm to make money while actively pursuing a career in politics. As the nation's fragile parliamentary monarchy evolved and entrenched itself due to the retirement of the older politicians, who remembered the times of the absolute monarchy, and the emergence of new politicians entering the stage, Luka recognized the potential for a significantly smoother path to success in politics. This realisation, peaked when there was a referendum about the abolition of the monarchy, which was victorious, turning the nation from the parliamentary monarchy consensus, into a full republic - finishing the work of those from around a century prior, who revolted against the Tsar Petr VI's absolutism during the "Great Vozdravian Revolution".

The next elections were scheduled for the year after the abolition. The victory of the abolitionists triggered, albeit as a side effect, as abolitionists were found all across the spectrum, a massive wave in popularity for the moderate left, including Luka Petrovic. After the center-left coalition secured their majority in the Sejm, among the potential candidates for Premier, Luka stood up. And he managed to be the most supported candidate among the centre-left, in the first round finishing first at 36% support, left to fight against a right-wing candidate who was the opposition's candidate in the second round, one which he naturally won due to the centre-left majority. Luka's commitment and alignment with his left-wing and centre-left ideologies resonated with public voters and the centre-left Sejm delegates alike. He has done it - his independent candidacy succeeded in the first election that he had ever competed in.
