2021 Maiderian federal election

The 2021 Maiderian federal election was held in May 2021 to decide both the prime minister and members of the Legislative Assembly of Maideria. Incumbent prime minister Norman Amethyst of the Labour Party (LAB) was eligible to run for a second term, but declared on 11 April 2021 that he would not seek reelection in light of low approval ratings, the second ever time a one-term Maiderian prime minister did so, the only other time being with Rupert Glory in 1997. Edmund Fernsby, the leader of the winning party in the 2021 election was then inaugurated on June 1st, 2021.
The first vote, which occured on the the 15th of May, 2021, will decide the Legislative Assembly. The three largest parties in the first vote went on to the second election, which occurred on the 22nd of May, 2021, the latter vote of which decide the prime minister.
The Conservative Party dominated the polls this year, sending Labour's support plummeting. Amethyst, and in turn, Labour as a whole, had seen low approval ratings, due to the Left vs Right conflicts occurring globally.
