November 2024 Southern Elections
The November 2024 Southern Elections was held on November 30th 2024 to elect all 3 members of the Southern Regional Assembly, the Southern Governor as well as the Southern Procensor.
Background
The Southern Regional Government was created in reaction of the stark decline of the region during the many Liberal-Conservative central governments. A referendum was passed to approve of a southern regional constitution, which was ratified by the Senate, scheduling the elections to be a week later.
The election is very competitive, with the Liberal-Conservative Party, and newly created populist Southern People's Alliance contesting all seats of the regional assembly, with the latter contesting all other offices; while the former has been supported by the Progressive Party of Faru and the Democratic Mandate Party for the Procensor and Gubernatorial races respectively.
Many debates between Regional Assembly candidates and Gubernatorial candidates were held, which is unusual in Farun Elections, with only executive candidates typically engaging in debates.
Results
The Election was a narrow victory for the People's Alliance, winning the governorship in a landslide but only winning two regional assembly seats with a margin of one vote in each race.
