Result of the elections: Whig hold Libcon gain; Libcon hold |
The June 2024 Senate Elections were held from June 1st to June 2nd, 2024, to elect three of the seven Farun Senators. It was held on the same days as the June 2024 Presidential Election.
The elections were a relative victory for the 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 Vulovic, being assassinated during the presidential debate. As a direct consequence, former Supreme Justice Maon Vukusti resigned from their post and ran for senator in the district.
Results
While the Liberal-Conservatives gained a seat, they did not get more control over the senate, as two new senate seats were apportioned by the Supreme Court prior to the election.
