Kösüna Nara

Kösüna Nara (/kəːˈsuːnə ˈnɑrə/; Koxori: [kʰɵˈsynə ˈnɑɾə]; born 28 Veilrule 1880) is a Koxoriek politician who has served as Second Minister of Koxor since 1918. He has also been the leader of the Koxoriek Liberal Party since 1913, and Member of the Imperial House (MIH) for Hethala City since 1911.

Kösüna was born and raised in Hethala, where his father worked in the civic office as the deputy representative of the Liberal Party. He graduated with a law degree from Karej University in 1902, and joined the Liberal Party soon after. He moved back to Hethala and was employed in the city council as a law consultant until 1907, when he was appointed as Councillor for Law and Law Enforcement. He ran in the 1909 election to become Member of the Imperial House for his constituency, but lost to incumbent Conservative candidate Alüdin Nejetsani. Two years later, following Alüdin's resignation in the face of a corruption scandal, Kösüna ran for a second time. He won with 50.7% of the vote, becoming Hethala's first non-Conservative candidate in 34 years.

Having entered the Imperial House, Kösüna soon became heavily involved in the Liberal Party, gaining respect and climbing up its ranks. Following the 1912 general election, when incumbent Kalun Morkhedai defected to the Conservatives, Kösüna was appointed Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party. Seven months later, Kontsej Milajtsa was removed as leader of the Liberal Party by a no-confidence vote of its members, with Kösüna succeeding him. Kösüna vocally opposed the Koxoriek war in Ghazva from 1916–1918, a policy which paid off as Usür Oltsünu's Conservatives failed to gain a majority in the elections soon after the war ended. Kösüna and Usür's parties subsequently reached a coalition agreement, and Kösüna became Second Minister.
