Announcement to the Public

The evening arrived and the celebration concluded with Poul and Jonathan making a passionate speech about the success of the metro station and announcing that it would continue to build miracles in the future.

Confusion filled the air as the three ladies wondered why they were in the same room. When Jonathan rose to his feet and faced them, their curiosity turned into anticipation.

"Ladies, Morgan and I have something important to tell you," Jonathan began. The room fell silent as everyone awaited his revelation. "Poul Nielsen is planning on running for president of the United States in the 892 elections."

The announcement sent shockwaves through the room. "Poul is running as president?!" Caroline exclaimed, unable to contain her surprise. "Why?"
