Premier VioletXylia (Loga) was elected with a thin margin of two votes against rival candidate Loup Fox III, while their party, the Directed Socialist front for Infaru (DSFI) won a majority of the National Assembly's seats in a controversial tiebreaker, forming a majority legislature. The League for Business and Temperance, a party formed shortly before the election, got only two of the five National Assembly seats despite getting over 50% of the popular vote in the deputy election.

Background

The date of the election was decided by the Courts of Infaru shortly after the August general election, and once again was mostly organized by Judge Willow7779.

In the weeks leading up to the election, Loup Fox III and Vivyi formed the Liberal Group, which quickly became one of the biggest parties within infaru, causing the now defunct Party for the Rejuvenation of Infaru to merge with the New Directed Union to form the DSFI. As opposed to last election, both parties ran candidates in more than three of the five districts, making the election truly competitive.

In the week before election day, many voice chat debates were held, most prominently between Loup Fox III and Loga, public perception of the debates was diverse, many thinking Loup came out victorious out of the debates while other thought Loga's moderate arguments were more appealing. During the campaign, Loup advocated for never before heard ideas such as privatizing the Ministry of Public Works and cutting some taxes.

Controversy

The Central district's vote ended in a tie once again, however the Liberal Elysians criticized the result, claiming that Biggly's tactic of getting inactive players to log on to vote was unethical. As all voters in the election were registered, there was no legal basis to the complaint, and a tie breaker where both candidate fought in an unarmed fight was held.
