The '''January 2025 Senate Elections''', also known as the '''1928 Farun General Election''' was held in two rounds, the first one was from December 28  to December 30, 2024, and the second one was be from January 3  to January 5, 2025 to elect all of the nine [[Farun Senate|Farun Senators]]. They were being held following the passage of the "End the Stagger" constitutional amendment, which got rid of the stagger and implemented a general election system.

Normally Farun legislative elections do not have multiple rounds, however due to the failure of the Senate to pass legislation to create a tiebreaker system, tied elections, which have become increasingly common, go into a runoff.  

The election was a setback for the [[Progressive Party of Faru]], which lost its majority and it's leader's seat in the wake of a right wing rebound in the southern and eastern regions. It is unclear if the Progressives will reach a majority in the chamber, or if the senate will be [[wikipedia:Hung parliament|hung]], as a runoff is occurring in the northernmost district between a progressive and independent candidate.

== Background == 

The "End the Stagger" constitutional amendment was passed during the [[December 2024 Senate Elections|last election]]'s constitutional referendum, leading to a general election being held. In the previous election, the Progressives won a sweeping victory, nearly kicking the conservatives out of the chamber and reaching a majority of the seats from a partial election.

The Progressives however did not have much time to achieve important policy goals, as campaigning for the general election started in mid-December, only a few weeks after the previous election. Furthermore, in the time since the last election, the right wing recovered from the liberal-conservative collapse, with the [[New Conservative Party|new conservatives]] and the [[Democratic Mandate Party|mandaters]] running candidates in more districts.

Campaigning for senate seats was minimal, with few debates and rallies occurring for them.
