2021 Jonathian general election

The 2021 Jonathian general election was the 46th biennial general election. The 2021 elections were held on Thursday, January 7th, 2021. The Liberal ticket of incumbents prime minister Jonas Albert and Lily Danyon defeated the Republican ticket of Donald Trump and Mike Pence. Jonas became the first Jonathian prime minister since Robert Alexander in 2001 to win a bid for a third term. The election saw the highest voter turnout since 1991. Despite polling predictions claiming that the Republicans would come second, this election turned out to be a dismal election for the party, who saw their lowest vote count since 1951.
The 2021 election immediately followed the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The incumbent Liberal government were lauded by experts for their response to the pandemic. The Liberals had also received praise from many organisations over Jonas's major progressive reforms, including those relating to the LGBT community. During the election, many centre-right and right-wing parties campaigned on the recovery of the economy from the pandemic, a topic that would later pass over to 2023. Concern over vaccine skepticism was also raised during the campaign. Due to the ongoing pandemic, a record number of ballots were cast early and by mail.
The 2021 election saw the rise of National's new leader, Deja Smith, who had achieved much popularity by being the first black person to hold the position of leader of the National Party. She quickly rose through the polls, at one point even surpassing Jonas Albert's approval rating, but this quickly faltered too come revelations about a controversy within the party involving Lynskip's governor, Patrick Olsson, who later resigned.
On election night, the Liberals won a third term in government. Six parties won seats in the 2021 election, the highest number since 1993. The JFP increased its seat count from one to three, while the Nationals reentered parliament with 31 seats. The SDP also returned to parliament for the first time since 1993, while the Greens won their first ever seats. On the flipside, the Republicans suffered a major electoral defeat, dropping to just ten seats. After their defeat, in 2022, the Republicans made the decision to oust Trump both as party leader and as a party member.
