Majority being the less affluent and more poor part of the society which makes up the bulk of the population. Even the refugees liked her since there was even a FATE in Thanalan where she orders that edible cactus leaves be given to the poor.
I'm trying to figure out what both sides (Monetarist and Royalist) stand to gain from Nanamo's death being covered up. Nanamo's death gives the Syndicate the legitimacy to take complete utter control. Why make it seem as if she is still alive? The Flames/Royalist keeping her alive means you don't actually have death bounty on your head. If it stays a rumour then you can't be taken in so easily. She's ill, not poisoned so...
But what do they gain? What's the reasoning? Not wanting to lose the public court opinion?
I just figured that Telediji was under the impression they all had it. Because of the association. Could also be guilty by association of course.
Word of her dying would spark a lot of reactions all over. From Sultansworn to the people who loved her and then would raise the question of who would take the throne considering I don't believe there were any actual heirs to the throne or distant relations. I think it would throw things into almost as much chaos deciding an actual leader.
But them pretending that she's just sick makes people not only think she's still alive (and keeps them appeased) but that she approves of what is happening to the other consortiums and the rest of the city as things get chaotic and no word comes from her. It'll lower the public's opinion, or some of them anyways. Though I think it's extra clusterfucky since Lalafell Dickface didn't anticipate being cleaved in half. There goes a major player in the plan.
