==Early life and political career==
Verlhanz Benjamin Rothgerus was born in Aegis, Staynes (now [[Valeria]]), to [[Kéya|Kéyan]]-born mother Jocelyne Durand and father Vernon Rothgerus. Along with his older sister and parents, Verlhanz moved to Fort Jubrayn in 1926 at the age of 6. Verlhanz attended Jubrayn University and studied mathematics, which he dropped in his second year. After a year away he re-started his University life and got a Doctoral in politics. He moved away to Jersia City at the age of 25 but was unsuccessful in starting any such political career. He moved back to Fort Jubrayn two years later. During the 1953 General Election he campaigned for MP for Banaslow, Fort Jubrayn but lost out by three thousand votes. He campaigned again in the 1956 General Election and won the seat with a 56.5% majority. Verlhanz was unopposed as he became the Labour Party leader in 1987 and won the [[1998 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|1998 General Election]] with a 34 seat majority. He lost the 2005 General Election to [[Walter Johannes]] and stepped down from Labour Leader the same day.
