2nd June 2024 Senate Elections
The 2nd June 2024 Senate Elections were held from June 15th to June 2nd, 2024, to elect two of the seven Farun Senators. It was the first and last central circuit election.
The elections were a massive victory for the nascent United Party, which had found a base in the new towns of Providence and Kickassia, as well as the east, which was previously served by the collapsing Farun Labor Front. The United Party ran unopposed in the new coastal District 4. District 5 was much more competitive, and while all the opponents to the United candidate Aknevo won more votes, his stronger base got him a strong plurality of the vote.
Background and Prominent Candidates
| District | Political Party | Candidate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | United Party | Jack Miller | |
| 5 | United Party | Vii Von Aknevo | |
| 5 | United Right | Dr Theodoro | |
| 5 | Independent | Vladimir Pavlov | |
| 5 | Independent | Ava Goodman | |
One of the independent candidates in district 5, Vladimir Pavlov, originally ran as a liberal-conservative, however his unsavory rhetoric led to denouncement by the party, and him running as an independent.
Results
The United Party won all the seats that were up for election, which should have secured them a strong position within the Senate. Unfortunately, a few days following the election both Senators got into a violent spat that led to Jack Miller dying and Vii Von Aknevo fleeing the country.
