Article meets DYK requirements and is free from close paraphrasing. QPQ has been done. I can't access the source so I am assuming good faith for the citation. I am only approving ALT0 since it seems more eye-catching and resignations being prevented by convincing by peers isn't exactly uncommon in politics.
