InfaruV2:August 2023 General Election

The August 2023 General Election is the first election of the Republic of Infaru It was held on the 27th of August 2023, to elect the National Assembly of Infaru, and the Prime Minister of Infaru.

Premier VioletXylia was elected with a historical landslide vote, while their party, the Party for the Rejuvenation of Infaru (PRI) won a plurality of the seats, forming a minority legislature. The New Directed Union (NDU), running a single candidate for both the office of Deputy and Prime Minister, De_Remuva, was the only other organized party to get elected into the legislature, as the League for Gambling for a Better Tomorrow (LGBT) lost the only race it participated in. The two other seats were taken by independent candidates Ayvik and AutoArmaggedon.

Background

The date of the election was decided by the Courts of Infaru as their first official act and was mostly organized by Judge Willow7779.

In the days leading up to the election VioletXylia and Renarchat formed the PRI, in order to organize a more unified election platform, it quickly grew to be one of the biggest parties in the nation and was the only party to run candidates in more than one electoral district.

The day before the election, a voice chat debate was held between De_Remuva and VioletXylia, hosted by Ava_Washere, where the NDU candidate ended up struggling against the very popular VioletXylia, receiving multiple difficult questions in a row and pushing for unpopular policies such as "Not paying veterans who attempted to coup the previous republic".

Controversy

During election day, Judge Ava_Washere opened the counting chamber under the polling station, and was accused by many of tampering with the votes. In the end, she got away scot-free as no tampering happened, but was prohibited from entering the chamber again.
