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 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.
