Following Kudelia Aina Bernstein's speech to the Earth Sphere, Ms. Henri Fleurs, Member of Parliament, visited the Arbrau Central Parliament Building (アーブラウ 中枢議会議事堂 Āburau Chūsū Gikai Gijidō?) where she met journalists who had heard rumors about former Prime Minister Togonosuke Makanai, relating to bribery allegations and the potential return to his former position. With the plenary session taking place in two months afterwards, she was asked if she'd also run. She answered that there'd be an official announcement and wished a good weekend to her small audience before returning to her car. Upon returning to her car, she asked the other occupant, Iznario Fareed of the Seven Stars of Gjallarhorn, if Makanai was still at the Oceanian Federation. Iznario told her not to worry as they were tracking his movements and gives her a tablet featuring news about Kudelia. She asked if Makanai called upon the girl. Iznario stated that people always seek an idol, or rather a fictitious figure without caring about the truth.[4]
Ms. Fleurs had the backing of Gjallarhorn whereas Mr. Makanai believed he could win again with the backing of Tekkadan.[5]
Eventually Makanai won the election and proceeded talks with Kudelia.[6]

Arbrau-SAU War[]
Both sides built up their forces along the border of the SAU and Arbrau. The war started out right after a military reconnaissance jet crashed due to Ahab Reactor interference from a mobile suit. After the incident, both sides entered into open conflict with heavy mobile suit and mobile worker combat being waged in the forest and plains of the border region. Arbrau quickly assembled a defense force while also employing Tekkadan's Earth branch and Galan Mossa's mercenary team. The war waged on until Makanai reemerged to settle the situation with the SAU.
