Main Article: Kabalina
Dr. Elisabet Claudia Abel is the 13th and current Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Kabalina. She was elected to office by the Social Liberal Party (Det Venstre) after the December 2014 Parliamentary Elections, in which the Social Liberal Party gained a strong plurality of seats, seizing control of the government from the rival Social Democratic Party. In addition to serving as the nation's Prime Minister, Dr. Abel has also functioned as a Direct Election-seat Parliamentary Representative for the state of Ilyse since 2 January 2012. From June 2010 up until December of 2014, Dr. Abel worked as an Assistant Professor with the nationally renowned Ilysian Historical Institution, a university specializing in history, politics, and international affairs, from which she obtained her Master and Doctoral degrees in European History. At the age of 30, Elisabet Abel is the youngest Prime Minister since the founding of the modern Federal Republic of Kabalina in 1968. She is also the 6th female Prime Minister since 1968.
Born in Lichtheim, the capital city of Ilyse, Elisabet Abel gained her first experience with politics as a teenager during student-run mock elections at Saga Helin Gymnasium, where she helped her party to win a plurality of student votes. Shortly thereafter, she began studying History at Ilyse's prestigious Ilysian Historical Institution, earning top marks in everything academic, and playing a vital role liaising between the student government organization and university administrators. After completing her undergraduate education early, Abel elected to continue her studies, working part-time as an intern for various Social Liberal Party candidates and Parliamentarians throughout school.
Upon obtaining her doctoral degree in European History in the spring of 2011, Abel was persuaded to run for public office by a colleague after learning that Parliamentary Representative Markus Haas, a well-established Ilysian Social Liberal, was planning to retire. With her history working with the party, Elisabet Abel garnered a great deal of official support, winning a position as a Direct Election candidate for the Social Liberal Party in the National Parliament elections. Thanks to the support for PR Haas, Abel won a solid plurality of the vote, becoming a Parliamentary Representative for the Staat of Ilyse at the age of 26, and having won her very first election attempt.
