The elections were a relative victory for the [[Liberal-Conservative Party|libcons]], the party won an additional seat in the senate giving them much leverage over the chamber. The Whigs comfortably won their Liberty seat while the new [[United Party]] faced a complete defeat in the race. Overall, the election re-enforced the Liberal-Conservative and Whig status quo which might not be challenged for a whole other month as their Frontier district stronghold is up for election then.  

== Background ==

The days leading up to the election were strife with violence, with the incumbent [[Urbis City]] senator, [[Nikola Vulvovic]], being assassinated during the presidential debate. As a direct consequence, former [[Supreme Court of Faru|Supreme Justice]] [[Maon Vukusti]] resigned from their post and ran for senator in the district.
