2015 Jonathian general election

The 2015 Jonathian general election was the 43rd biennial general election, held on Tuesday, January 6th, 2015. The Republican ticket of Andrew Harvings and John Clyde defeated Liberal incumbents Joshua Hammond and Mike von Staufstad. Harvings took office as the 36th prime minister, and Clyde as the 38th deputy prime minister, on February 21, 2015. It was the last election as of 2023 where the Republicans won.
Though Hammond had largely acted on his promises, the popularity of himself and his government began to fall in mid-2014. During the campaign season, Hammond campaigned on his government's track record, while Harvings called for tax cuts and education reform, among other things. In December of 2014, the Liberal campaign was marred with a scandal involving donations that led to the Midnight Inquiry, leading to division amongst Jonathian voters. By New Year's Day in 2015, most polls suggested that the Republicans would win with a majority.
On election night, the Liberals fared better than expected, however the Republicans still won the election with 66 seats to the Liberals' 54, flipping the equation from two years prior.
