Bob Toshi

Bob Toshi (born December 30, 1969) is a El Kadsreian politician who was President of El Kadsre from 2007 to his overthrowing in 2011. A self-described Chavista, he attempted to expand Hugo Chávez's Bolivarian Revolution to El Kadsre and began a program of Bolivarian propaganda, and aligned himself with the far left. His election resulted in the creation of a two-party system which lasted until 2011 after he was overthrown in the 2011 El Kadsreian coup d'état.

After being overthrown in 2011, Toshi fled to the United Kingdom, and currently lives in London.

Bio
Bob was born to a Sentanese mother, Mei Toshi (b. 1942), and a White South African father, Gerald Van Schalkwyk (b. 1939) in Heart's Landing, Vlokozu Union and grew up in El Kadsre City.

While studying at the University of El Kadsre, Bob became interested in socialism in 1989, and was in a Bolivarian group called the "Chavez Squad" for much of the latter half of the 1990's. In 2003, he founded the El Kadsreians for El Kadsreians Party.

In 2007, Toshi was elected president and announced that "the Bolivarian Revolution is coming to El Kadsre, and it will be glorious!" However, a financial crisis began in El Kadsre which included the El Kadsreian stock market crash of 2008, Black Friday. Experts believe this was due to a combination of the Great Recession and Toshi nationalizing way too many businesses including funding for TTV and major shares in companies such as Kentsei and EKRail.

Toshi broke off relations with Israel and Taiwan and recognized Palestine and PRC China instead. As a result, the two countries' respective ambassadors were stranded in El Kadsre up until 2011.

In 2011, Toshi declared himself "Eternal President" and began threatening foreign businesses and people who disagreed with his presidency. After months of crisis and enflarement, Toshi was overthrown by the Armed Forces and national police.

Toshi fled to the United Kingdom and currently resides in exile in the Venezuelan Embassy in London.
