CCU presidential election, 2099

The CCU presidential election of 2099 will be the next quadrennial presidential election, set to be held in 2099. This follows Union President Nolan Bedford's second four-year term from 2095 to 2099. On Election Day, Heike Currier and Devon Raley made a deal, resulting in Currier's withdrawal from the race, being promised 7 seats in the Senate. This changed odds leaning towards Kozlowski to a probable Raley victory. Currier subsequently in a rally endorsed Raley, stating that "he is our hope at this point."
Following the election, Kozlowski announced his resignation as leader of the Freedom Party, and stated "This time, I will not be making a return. I'd like to thank you all for voting for me."a Raley's victory had marked the greatest string of victories any party had ever achieved in the history of the Union.aaa It was noted that what former President Nolan Bedford had done started a "political reset" and caused the formerly dominant Reform Party to crash down, to a result of 2.35% in the current election, which meant the party would not receive Union funding for the first time in decades.aa Following the certification of election results, the Union switched the Reform Party's status to "nationally unrecognized party."a
The FPC appointed Diana Slater as the acting leader of the Freedom Party.a

Raley's last-minute deal with Currier resulted in Union only controlling 48% of the Senate, and would therefore require support from Reform to pass laws.a Although Raley's move had reportedly resulted in his election, which had otherwise resulted in a Kozlowski victory, some in his party stated that "Raley handed his majority away."a

Despite McMahon's landslide 10% victory over Rene Lindner in the previous election, as well as a lack of performance from the Freedom Party in the 2097 election, Kozlowski defeated Higgins by a shocking 12%, owing to Higgins poor performance in debating Kozlowski.a Higgins conceded and endorsed Kozlowski, stating "there's never been a better opportunity for us to take back the Union."a His defeat had also meant that the vast majority of the 34 Progressive Senators would lose their seat after the election, and give the Freedom Party back its Senators.a However, following the Progressive Party's recent performance, a renegotiated deal had resulted in the losing party, regardless if Freedom or Progressive, receive 15% of Senators that the winning party had won.a
=== Progressive Party primaries ===
Candidates
* Kacey Chonga
* Janine Higdon, incumbent Progressive leader; senatora
* Kala Jacobsena

* Hal Riggins, senatora
Hal Riggins narrowly defeated Higdon to become the Progressive nominee, having earned 47.70% of the popular vote.a As he received 50.79% of the delegates, a second round of voting was avoided.a Higdon received 34.97% of the popular vote but managed to receive 45.87% of delegates, which many noted as her advantage, using her campaigning in places which would be more beneficial.a Paquette and Chong were referred to as "future leaders of the Progressive Party movement."a

On January 2, 2099, former Vice President Arlo Quinn announced his campaign, citing the need for "a nominee who has had a great deal of authority within the Union," noting his opponents having not served a major office.aa Quinn later stated that "the [openness] of the Reform race made it [easier] for him to drop in."a Quinn had been speculated to enter the Union nomination, but to shock, entered his original primary.a His entry to the race had shook the events of the primary, with his first poll showing him leading four points.aa While his entrance affected all candidates' polling numbers, it most significantly affected Revak's, and least hurt Walters, whose polling numbers had been already decreasing following the debut forum.a Quinn shortly qualified for the second debate, which Express-CCU noted would [likely] "have attacks from all sides towards [Quinn]."a It was later reported by the Union tabloid that "[Walters] could see himself disinvited from a future debate should his polling numbers continue to drop."a Quinn stated in January that "contenders had realized they could not compete so they personally attack,"a which led to a sharp increase in polling numbers.aa
With Quinn's numbers continuing to go up, former Secretary of State Janeen Bradford announced her campaign, citing her experience in the Mercado and Holder administrations, as a "party unifier, as well as a ticket to general election success."aaa In a swipe against former Vice President Quinn, she stated that "having positions in a [Reform] government is much more relevant."a She added, that "if [Quinn] were so liked, he wouldn't be polling as low as he is now, especially for a very recent Vice President."a Quinn responded by stating, "The forces at Reform above us are striking against us, not imagining a new leadership for their party."a Bradford debuted at 16%, tied with Revak, behind Hanley and Quinn, whose lead weakened.a Notably, Walters lost the least amount of supporters, still polling at 7%.a The Express-CCU later called it the "most exciting CCU primary [ever]."a However, as the lowest-polling major candidate, a publication called for the withdrawal of Walters from the race, noting that "he cannot expand his [coalition]."a Walters attacked the publication, stating that "outside sources are in no position whatsoever to progress the race in any shape or form, it's up to the party voters."a Walters notably gained from the controversy.a All 6 candidates were invited to the third debate.a Following a weakened performance in the third debate from Quinn, he dropped to fourth place in the first poll after debate.a Despite Bradford being branded as the "strong winner of the debate", Hanley won the first poll after debate, marking his first poll victory.a Walters also came from the debate as a winner, having some standout moments, and gaining polling as second or third choices of other candidates' supporters.a However, he still received criticism from some media outlets as the weakest polling candidate.a Another target became Quinn, who they argued, that as a former Vice President, should withdraw due to only polling 15% despite his "big role."aa The following poll saw Bradford's first poll victory, just 1% ahead of Hanley.a Following more controversial statements, Quinn announced his withdrawal from the race, stating that "the party has moved on." a This comes after a recent poll saw his numbers at 11%, tied with Walters, despite recently leading, with newer polls having been "likely to dip further."a Additionally, Quinn's numbers had "gone in a slope which would not guarantee another debate appearance."a Quinn stated that "[he] could not endorse anyone at this time."a The largest chunk of Quinn's voters went to Currier, who was "put back on the map" as a result of his withdrawal.a
Following a poor debate performance, Julius Revak announced his withdrawal from the race, stating that he "had not been able to maintain his base of supporters from the primary many years ago."a Revak joined the race as the frontrunner, polling as high as 36%, but lost his lead following Quinn's entrance; he failed to retrieve these voters after he had dropped out and his numbers had slowly been decreasing or staying neutral.aaa Revak stated that he "did not want to interrupt the race," and as such did not endorse any candidate.a This left the race with 4 candidates, notably building up to be between Currier and Hanley, with Bradford falling behind and Walters a long way behind.a In a poll conducted by Express-CCU, Walters' voters had Hanley as their second choice by 59%, followed by Currier with 33% and Bradford with just 8%.a
Currier chose Janeen Bradford as her running mate, noting her experience in the Mercado and Holder administrations and strength in the primary as "what [she] would look for in a running mate."a

==== Communist Bloc primaries ====
===== Candidates =====
* Annette Haag, incumbent Communist Bloc leader; senatora
Devon Pearce won the Communist Bloc nomination in a surprise victory, which had been attributed to Haag's poor performance in the previous parliamentary election in 2097, in which Haag narrowly earned the party 3 seats, as well as Pearce's methods of strong attacks toward Haag.a Haag conceded the election, but stated she "would not endorse anyone in the general election."a Pearce denounced her comment, stating that "it proves how much [allegiance] she ever had to our party, she has only helped Union, we would have had a Speaker today who was not right wing otherwise."a

==== Moderate primaries ====
The last two elections saw the Moderate Party receive 0.3% of the vote, or 2% and a drop from the parliament for the first time a long time.a This resulted in the party losing status in the Union, and as a result, the party received no funding from the Union.a As a result, the Moderate Party Committee (MPC) voted 9-6 to cancel its primaries, saving its funds for the parliamentary election in 2101.a
=== Independents ===
==== Arlo Quinn ====
Following Quinn's withdrawal from the Reform nomination, he announced his Independent presidential bid.a He stated that after having took part in the Union administration, witnessed the Reform nomination process twice, he stated that that "participating in parties was not pro-Union as they say it is."a Quinn announced Union candidate Jena Trujillo as his running mate, who received 1 delegate in the Union convention.a
==== Devina O'Neil ====
O'Neil announced her campaign after attention regarding Quinn's campaign.a She stated that after mild success in the 2097 election, she decided to run in this campaign.a O'Neil dropped out the next day.a The moves were questioned by many.a O'Neil later apologized for the confusion, and stated that she had been "testing the waters for the future."aa
== 2101 election ==
==== Speaker election ====
Arlo Quinn, who received 2% of the vote in the 2099 election, announced the creation of the Allegiance.a Lombardi announced that the No Allegiance Association had voted in favor of joining Allegiance.a Un domani migliore stated that "the party had no interest in returning."a
Following Currier's move to withdraw from the 2099 election, the party's favorability of her intensely dropped, with party members stating her move "had allowed [Union] to become a party with great strength, which would not allow [Reform] to grow with its supporters back to its previous peak."a Melanie Ramsey won the Moderate nomination.a Devina O'Neil stated that after bringing back the Independence Party to prominence, she would "be done with CCU politics, for good."a The Independence Party Committee stated that for its transitional period, the party would have no leader.a
In a surprise move, Eula Ruiz announced her return to CCU politics with the creation of the Movement.aaa Ruiz stated that "what has happened can be fixed."a Following Ruiz's announcement, Delaplace announced that she would withdraw Union française from competing in the election, despite narrowly missing out the Senate four years prior.a The announcement came in a shock, with polls predicting a debut entrance.a Delaplace afterwards endorsed Movement.a Prior to the election, the FPC and RFC opted not to hold a conference, stating that it was "more worth it to save their respective budgets for the important election in 2103."a
A total of 20,632,983 voted in the election, the highest turnout in CCU history.aaa The election also marked the Moderate Party's worst performance ever, with calls for the party to disband.a

== 2103 election ==
As a result of the split vote in the left for the Movement Party and Movement Party, Devon Raley won the election in a landslide.aa This marked the first time ever a party ever won an election to control power for 16 consecutive years.a Both sides attributed the loss, with Ruiz stating that "this is why ranked choice voting is a must for democracy."aa
Raley stated that he understood the concerns about the system, but stated that "such a drastic change would not be done under my government."a However, Raley stated that he would initiate legislation that would proportionally allocate the electoral college votes in each state to the parties that received at least 15%.a The Reform Party praised this move, calling it a "long awaited democratic fixation."a Ruiz and Jacoby later praised the move as well.a Erwin later also stated that "while what Raley proposes would help, allowing a two-round voting system or proportional voting would help establishing parties, clearly something the [Union Party] does not favor."a Nicole Healey later confirmed that she "would not run for President in 2107", stating that it "is not a ambition that [she] desires."a This move positioned former Vice President Jesse Royster as the "likely nominee".a
With the Union Party holding two-thirds supermajority of the Senate, many opposition senators did not attend the Senate often, citing their "irrelevant role in voting."a However, 1 Union Senator left the party and stated that "after recent events, I better identify as a Reform Senator."a Erwin welcomed the Senator, stating that "anyone from across the aisle is welcome to join our party, we are bipartisan."a

Raley won the nomination, receiving 72% of the vote and 86% of the delegates, which he had contributed to "the millions [Quinn] had spent in ads against the the [Union 'regime']" At the Union Convention, Raley introduced his new running mate, former Speaker of the Union Nicole Healey.a

==== Movement primaries ====
Following the success of Movement in the 2101 election, which led to former Freedom presidential candidate Eula Ruiz being elected Speaker, talks began on the future of the party, specifically regarding the 2103 election.aa Ruiz stated that she had no intention of stepping down as a Speaker, stating that "while at the time, I had aspirations, the time has passed after Bedford and Raley, it's definitely time to have a younger president."a Despite Ruiz's statement, the left continued to say that Ruiz was their "best shot at [defeating Raley]."a Ruiz also stated that she "did not believe in a joint party leadership election," stating that "the [Progressives] have only one once, and that time was debatable."a
Ruiz later announced her endorsement of her daughter Sofía Ruiz for the Movement nomination.a However, the Movement Committee voted in favor of cancelling primaries after no other prominent candidates announced their candidacy.aa
=== Joint Freedom-Progressive leadership election ===
Carley Jacoby would go on to win the largest victory in a leadership election, strengthening the party for the general election.a Hudgens conceded the election, with the result considered a "defeat of the moderate wing", that took over the party with McMahon.a

==== Reform Party primaries ====
With the Reform Party having performed a shocking comeback in the 2101 election, with more Union voters switching towards Reform, Currier's popularity had recovered.aa However, Currier stated that she would not seek the Reform nomination, stating that she "would like to give someone else an opportunity."a
Former Vice President Gabrielle Erwin announced her candidacy for the Reform nomination, stating that "it is time for us to go back to what works best."a Former Secretary of State and 2099 Reform vice presidential candidate Janeen Bradford subsequently endorsed Erwin, stating that "she is the best path for our party."a Just leader and perennial Reform presidential candidate Erick Walters announced his candidacy one week later.a No other candidates filed by the deadline.a Walters' result was considered a disappointment for the campaign.a Delegate totals later revealed that Erwin won 63% to Walters' 37%, showing Walters' broad support allowing him to achieve more delegates than raw vote totals.aaa After losing the nomination, Walters stated that the Just Party would not contest the 2103 election, citing the importance of "not splitting votes in an election that cannot be won [by our party]."a

==== Freedom Party primaries ====
Following Kozlowski's defeat in the 2099 election, marking his sixth presidential campaign, and his third CCU-wide loss, the Freedom Party was seen as leaderless.aaa Lindner, as a relatively popular Freedom senator had served as the party's leader, but brought the party to new lows, including its first ever leadership election loss.a The 2101 election also saw the party place its lowest position since debuting in the 2023 election, or 2051, since parliamentary debut.a Independent Devina O'Neil, often affiliated with the Freedom Party, and having served as Secretary of State under Kozlowski stated "with the new [Movement], we need to be smart and accept that they are the party best equipped to defeat the incumbent [government]."a
Former Secretary of Justice and 2087 Freedom presidential candidate Carley Jacoby became the first major candidate to announce their candidacy.a She stated, "our party is at risk. We need real solutions to prevent our party from collapsing."a Mertie Winslow subsequently endorsed Jacoby's campaign.a Senator Lecicia Jacobson became the second major candidate.a Former Vice President Sasha Rigsby announced her candidacy later, citing "we need a candidate that has real experience."a Her announcement was unexpected, given that she served as Vice President from 2073 to 2075, 28 years prior.a Senator Von Major was the next candidate to announce his candidacy.a Businessman Pierre Royer was the last major candidate to announce his candidacy.a
No candidate won a majority of the delegates, which initiated a contested convention.a As a result, all candidates who did not receive at least 15% of the vote were automatically eliminated from the convention ballot.a

==== Progressive Party primaries ====
Following two consecutive poor performances from Progressive leader Hal Riggins, the party was seen as disarrayed.a However, this was widely contributed due to going up against Miquel Kozlowski, the boost it gave Freedom, and the resurgence of Eula Ruiz.aaa Riggins confirmed that he would not contest the election, stating that he had decided to end his career in [CCU] politics.a He resigned from his seat, leaving it vacant.a Kacey Chong became the first major candidate to announce their candidacy, having received 6% of the popular vote in the 2099 Progressive primaries.a Senator Jesse Hudgens announced his candidacy a week later.a Former Moderate leader Toney Milne announced his candidacy.a Former Senator and 2082 Progressive candidate Crista Gavin announced her candidacy.a Senator Chana Milligan, who also contested 2082 Freedom primaries, announced her candidacy.a

== 2107 election ==
The CCU presidential election of 2107 will be the next quadrennial presidential election, set to be held in 2107. This follows Union President Devon Raley's second four-year term from 2103 to 2107. Raley is ineligible to run for President due to term limits, meaning a new President will be elected.
The Union Party, Freedom Party, Reform Party and Progressive Party are the major parties that will contest the election.a A total of 23,792,483 voted, a large increase marking the highest turnout in awhile.a This was the first election since 2083 without an incumbent or former president contesting the election.aaa Additionally, it marks the first time ever that a candidate received over ten million votes, in which both Ruiz and Royster surpassed.a This election marks one of the only times in history in which a major party nominee fails to win their own state, with Ruiz having won both her home state as well as Union nominee Royster's.a Despite losing the electoral vote and popular vote, the Union Party narrowly won the seat count by winning 1 state more than Freedom Party, allowing Union to hold the balance of power, disallowing Freedom President-elect Ruiz from passing new legislation.aa Royster conceded defeat to Ruiz, stating "It's bittersweet, we held on to our power for a long time, but it seems as if the streak is coming to an end."a In another occasion, Royster blamed third parties, namely Erwin, as well as Danielson and Quinn, for his defeat, noting that they all were leaning to the right.a However, pundits noted that polling suggested that while the second choice of these candidates leaned heavily towards Royster, a good chunk also went towards Ruiz, suggesting that Ruiz would have still closed the gap in many cases.a With this election marking the Freedom Party's first victory in 20 years, Freedom officials had "been relived of finally taking back control, even if it meant that non-traditional policies would be put in place."a Ruiz also stated that whether or not she would run for a second term in 2111 remains under question, but noted that should she be able to accomplish her agenda, her presidency would "not need a second term, and would naturally expire."a However, with the Union Party controlling the Senate with its 51% majority, Ruiz could not accomplish anything that Union members would not agree to, though this would be workable should she manage to cross two Union senators across the aisle to vote for some progressive policies.aaaaa
President-elect Eula Ruiz then declared victory, stating "We may have won this battle, but we still have a war ahead of us," as part of the more notable part of her speech.a Former Vice President Jesse Royster then conceded, "It's clear that the people have spoken, and I understand that. But, we won the Senate. Thank you and goodbye."a President Devon Raley then congratulated Ruiz on her victory, stating "The Union government is committed towards initiating a smooth transition of power."aaa

=== Running mate selection ===
After Movement leader and founder, former Senator and Speaker of the Union Eula Ruiz won the Freedom and Progressive primaries, speculation arose over who Ruiz would choose as her running mate.a Ruiz instantly shut down rumors over chosing her Speaker daughter Sofia, stating it "sets a bad precedent."a Lecicia Jacobsen openly lobbied for the position, but Ruiz stated that Jacobsen "was not a natural ally for our coalition."a Kacey Chong subsequently was floated as a potential pick, noting her popularity with new progressives, to match with older progressives like Ruiz.a Ruiz later stated she would keep all options open.a
Former Vice President Jesse Royster also faced speculation.a Nicole Healey declined to continue serving the running mate ticket.aa Erwin later announced Reform nomination candidate Allie Boyce as her running mate, noting her "strong performance in debates."a Royster then announced former Senator and nomination candidate Fritz Hinton as his running mate, stating that "his campaign built bridges."aa At last, Ruiz announced former Movement running mate Jodie Heffner as her running mate, noting that her work as the previous mate was "well done."aaa This disgruntled Freedom Party officials, who urged at uniting the bases of the party by bringing a more moderate opponent.a Ruiz responded, stating "Our movement, is in fact, what will unite our entire union, rather than just a party. Obivously, what the Freedom Party has been trying to do for too long has not worked now. It's time to try something new, seriously."a
=== Union Party primaries ===
Following a record-breaking four consecutive terms of Union Presidents, a more crowded field of Union primary candidates was expected.aa Incumbent Vice President Nicole Healey declined to run,a another factor which was considered a "race opener."a Former Vice President Arlo Quinn became the first major candidate to announce their candidacy.a Senator Eura Farr became the second major candidate, announcing, "Let's bring a new vision to the Union."aa Former Senator Fritz Hinton later announced his candidacy.a After widespread speculation, former Vice President Jesse Royster announced his candidacy, noting his "recent experience as the previous Vice President."a Rachel O'Leary announced her candidacy afterwards.aaA Polling showed Royster at 45% support, though with many voters remaining undecided and with support for Royster still soft.a Incumbent President Devon Raley and Vice President Nicole Healey both refused to endorse a candidate, citing the wish to "let the process play out."a The final major candidate to declare candidacy became Senator Bernadine Lumpkin.a

=== Movement primaries ===
In a shock move, the MCC (Movement Council) voted in favor of cancelling its primaries, and announced that it "would not contest the election."a The Council later voted in favor of endorsing Freedom Party candidate Eula Ruiz for nomination, and president.a
=== Freedom primaries ===
Last edition, the Freedom Party placed third, notably marking the first time since 2023 in which the party failed to place within the top two in a general election it competed in.aaa As a result, the FPC announced that it would allocate a "supermajority" of its funds toward the 2107 election, also calling for donations.a With Carley Jacoby and the Freedom Party blamed for Movement's loss to Union, Jacoby was criticized for not dropping out.aaa Jacoby later ruled out a future run for president.a Roslyn Castellanos became the first major candidate to declare candidacy.a Lecicia Jacobsen later announced her run, stating that "It's time for us to finish what we started."a In a shock move, former Speaker of the Union and Senator Eula Ruiz announced her run for the presidential nomination, stating "It has been too long. We tried under our own brand, but that obviously did not work. Let's try this again."a No other candidates declared, which pundits stated was to "avoid any one candidate splitting the vote, which would further Ruiz's chances."aa Ruiz's candidacy, reportedly, led the primaries to have the biggest turnout in a Freedom primary since 2087.aaaa This primary also marked the first in awhile in which the Freedom Party was the most popular primary of the election season, hinting at a Freedom victory.aa This also marked the first primary in which all candidates were female.a

=== Reform primaries ===
With the last general election marking the party's strongest result since Ayanna Geary in 2091, interest in primary contention grew.aaa Former Vice President and leader of the Reform Party since 2103 Gabrielle Erwin declared her candidacy, early in what critics stated was to "fend off and scare potential candidates."a The primary saw uncertainty due to Heike Currier's potential candidacy.aa Currier ultimately said that she would "look into the primary."a Just Party Senator Erick Walters became the second candidate to declare his candidacy, the first time as a Senator.a Senator Joshua Hanley announced in what he said is his final run.a Former consultant to Geary and 2091 candidate Allie Boyce announced her candidacy, saying "now is the time for us to rise."aa Currier later announced that she would not seek the nomination.aaa
The primary saw slightly more than double the voters compared to the 2103 primary, hinting at a stronger performance in the election.a Hanley could not retain his momentum built from previous runs, with many voters "bored of the same talking points."aa

== 2109 election ==
The 2109 election marks the first mid-term election of a Ruiz presidency, which, as a fight for control of the Senate, notably marks among the most competitive mid-terms in history.aaa Additionally, with the election marking eight years since the 2109 Speaker election which gave Movement the speakership, a Speaker election will also be held, furthering the competitiveness of the race.a Incumbent President Eula Ruiz has vocally stated in many occasions, that the Senate race will "decide the fate of whether the term can see progressive agendas finally pass, or ultimately fail."a On the other hand, the Union Party has warned as a whole that the "Movement agenda will eradicate what we know is our Union, into something we do not know."a Many Union officials have called Ruiz's plans "radical".a Notably, mid-term elections typically lean towards the opposition party, but with Ruiz having never gained control of the Senate, the mid-term was considered "an open race, leaning towards Freedom."a
As leader of Freedom, Ruiz announced that the party would not contest the election.a However, the ruling body of the FPC stated that "it is not the leader of [our] party that can withdraw a party, but the governing body. We vehemently deny Ruiz's claim."a Ruiz announced that she would contest the election as part of the Movement, stating that "it will better suit our needs to initiate our agenda before term-end."a Ruiz also urged any parties who supported the Movement to join in.a The Progressive Party's ruling body then voted in favor of endorsing Movement, and therefore, drop out, for the first time in any mid-term election.a The FPC later held a vote on the topic, unanimously voting against dropping out.a Elodie Delaplace confirmed that Union française would contest the election, citing it's debut entrance to the Senate four years prior, noting that "the Senators wanted to make a return to the [Senate]."a Delaplace had eight years ago dropped her party to aid Ruiz, a move some political pundits and analysts stated "tipped the election over to Ruiz".a However, a last minute move resulted in Delaplace joining Ruiz's cabinet, a first for the party with relatively no power in the Union.a The Unity Party suspended after contesting once.a The Libertarian Party, lacking in funds under Trejada's leadership, announced that it would not contest the election.a Prominent perennial Progressive candidate for President Kacey Chong announced the creation of the New Green Party, noting that "we need an alternative to what we're offered, and our own Progressive Party bailed out."a Reform leader Gabrielle Erwin also stepped down following her decreased result, paving the way for acting leader Julius Revak.a Former Vice President Jesse Royster faced pressure not to step down, but did so, citing a "clear mandate paving the way for a new Union leadership."a By Union law, former Senator Fritz Hinton became acting leader.aaa A total of 22,107,983 voted, a significant decrease from the 2107 election, though making it the most voted by number Senate election.a In a shock move, former Vice President Arlo Quinn narrowly entered the senate by just a few votes, which had only become apparent after a manual recount.a Ruiz received the highest leading percentage since Nolan Bedford in 2097.a
With all seats, Movement would only have 55 votes, as a result of Freedom refusing to vote for Ruiz's daughter, stating "it is not democratic to have your daughter run in the same ticket."a President Ruiz responded, stating "we never stated that [Ruiz] would run for a second term."a With this move, the Union Party offered to destabilize Movement's power grab, offering that "one less Movement position of power, is more power to Freedom."a<

== 2111 election ==
The CCU presidential election of 2111 will be the next quadrennial presidential election, set to be held in 2111. This follows Freedom President Eula Ruiz's four-year term from 2107 to 2111.
Notable former top elected officials eligible to run include Arlo Quinn, Jesse Royster and Nicole Healey, however the latter two have not indicated whether they will run or not.a
In March 7, 2111, President Eula Ruiz died of natural causes, leading Vice President Jodie Heffner to be sworn in later that day.a This had marked the first time ever that an incumbent President died while in office.a Heffner issued a period of mourning, followed by her appointment of Sofía Ruiz as Vice President, who was unanimously confirmed by the Senate.aa
A total of 22,304,987 voted, an unprecedented decrease from the 2107 election.a Ruiz's margin became the largest since Nikole Mercado's reelection victory.a Movement's 78-seat win fell just one seat short of a Movement supermajority, which was considered a massive loss for the party, with such a pathway looking less likely in a mid-term, and with mourn votes fading away in 2115.aaa In the period after the election, Movement formed a lobbyist group seeking "Union Party goers who could switch sides".a It was criticized by opposition officials as a "bribery technique."a Movement denied this, stating the group was "not funding anything nor anyone."a Nevertheless, the group's efforts had proven to be a failure, with Movement still unable to persuade any of the 38 opposition Senators.aaa
=== Movement primaries ===
Speculation also arised over President Jodie Heffner facing a primary challenge from Vice President Ruiz, however Ruiz denied that she was seeking the presidency.aaa However, at midnight 11:59 PM, Ruiz filed her statement of candidacy.a The next morning, Heffner stated "I look forward to a competitive primary, and wish the Vice President only success."a Heffner also faced calls from Movement loyalists to step down from the primaries, or even from the presidency.aaa Heffner stated that while she understood the context, stated that "I did not force myself to the presidency, I am here as I was chosen."a Some Movement supporters criticized her statement, stating that "the selection of [Heffner] could not have been [Ruiz], for obvious reasons."a Some pundits stated that the competitive nature of the primaries could end up endangering the prospects of the Movement in the general election.a An opposition report stated that "Ruiz should drop out of the primaries, for the good of their Movement."a With polling underway for the primaries, an advantage was seen for Ruiz.a Prior to the first Movement debate, President Heffner dropped out after working out a deal with Ruiz which would see her being selected as the Movement running mate throughout the campaign, as means of unity.aa Heffner stated that "as Vice President, I was honored to serve under Ruiz, Sr., and as your President, I always put you first. I would be honored to serve again as a Vice President."a Reports also indicated that Ruiz attempted to persuade Heffner to resign, to allow her to instantly take office, however Heffner reportedly convinced her that "it would be better to be in the position of [not President] on Election Day."aa 
=== Freedom primaries ===
Perennial candidate Roslyn Castellanos announced her campaign.a 
=== Union primaries ===
Following the previous election's landslide electoral defeat of the Union Party, it had been seen as lacking in leadership apart from Speaker Healey.a Acting leader Fritz Hinton stated that he was not interesting in seeking the nomination.a Former Vice President Jesse Royster reassured that he was no longer interested.a Former Vice President Arlo Quinn also refused to run, criticizing the process of delegate allocation.a Senator Eura Farr announced her campaign, stating her interest in transitioning back to a Union government.a

With the Blood Party growing as a result of the Union Party's decline, Danielson's lead heavily declined.a Notably, should Danielson not improve, a normal election would be triggered for the 2119 election, and potentially 2117, if triggered.aaa

=== Cancelled primaries ===
== 2113 election ==
=== General election ===
A total of 21,573,298 voted, continuing a decrease in election voters.aaa With Ruiz having dropped Delaplace from her government, as opposed to Ruiz Sr. and Heffner's governments, Delaplace announced that her party would contest the election for the first time in 8 years.a Ruiz won both the Freedom and Progressive primaries, with the Progressives once again opting to not contest.a As such, Chong once again contested under her New Green Party.a Wes Pitts announced the creation of the rising party Unity Alliance.A The main four parties received 74% of the total vote.a Notably, Leah Danielson's Blood Party lost all seats after having unprecedently receiving enough votes to enter the Senate for the past three Senate elections.a This was a major disadvantage to Danielson, who had already declined in the previous primary, and considered the "last straw before primary activation."aa Despite the New Green Party rising in popularity, it's vote count decreased due to Delaplace's return.a On the other hand, the Freedom Party went to historic lows.a As for the last election, Ruiz ran as the leading Freedom candidate, meaning that Movement took 1 additional seat from Freedom.a The election marked a big blow for Movement and Ruiz, with the party losing its majority of 66% and going down to 45%, a 21 point decrease. This allowed Speaker Nicole Healey to take control of the opposition to President Ruiz, which now became a majority and a threat to Ruiz's reelection bid.a

Following the election, Healey stepped down as Speaker of the Union, immediately triggering a Special election.aa As a result of Union's narrow majority, it was expected that Union would retain control of the Speakership.a With the last general Speaker election having took place in 2109, the special election would only elect a Speaker for the rest of Healey's two-year term, remaining from her 6-year term.a Healey confirmed that the 60 Union Senators would vote in a Union speaker primary.a Subsequently, Fritz Hinton and Eura Farr were floated as top candidates.a They both announced their campaigns, alongside former presidential hopefuls Rachel O'Leary and former Vice President Arlo Quinn.a However, Farr dropped out after receiving a lack of support from Senators.a Following her campaign suspension, Senator Cristine Alfaro announced her campaign, citing "a new era of the Senate."a To get on the ballot, candidates needed to have a significant amount of signatures, or money raised.a Additionally, due to the crowdedness of the field, the UPC announced that all candidates that received 15% would progress to the second round, stating that "candidates' visions would be more explored in a less crowded field."A Perennial candidate Linnie Durran later entered the ballot, but criticizing the "lack of a popular vote".a Former Secretary of State Mikel Gifford announced his entrance.a Although it was rumored that an additional unmasked candidate would join, no other candidates filed by the deadline.a
Quinn notably missed the threshold by just 2 Senators.aa O'Leary's supporters pledged to vote for Alfaro following her failure to meet the threshold.a In a shocking move, all of Quinn's supporters pledged to as well.aa This would provisionally put her in the lead with 37%.a Additionally, 3 ofHinton's supporters backed Alfaro.a

=== Special speaker election ===
20 years after Healey became Speaker in a special election, another Union-majority Senate speaker election is held.a It marks the first time for any election on a widescale office has two candidates from the same state.a Some argued that it could push away influence in the region from the successes of the two Ruiz's.a
== 2117 election ==
A total of voted.aaa The Unity Alliance and Global Union parties both opted not to contest the election, citing costs.a All parties remained with the same leaders.a Union Party notably unperformed, having been expected to crack a higher percentage of votes.a The election resulted in a majority 53% of seats for the government, whilst the opposition held 47%.a However, 2 Independent Senators who caucused with Union announced their resignations, stating that "[they] were no longer interested in serving the Senate."aaa In a stunning upset, the New Green Party won both seats in the special elections, furthering the parties seat count to 14.a Following the special elections, in a shocking move, a Just Party Senator announced that he was crossing the aisle, and joining the Independence Party as he "had not found his place in his party."a He later confirmed that he was caucusing with Movement.a This resulted in a complete deadlock in the Senate, resulted in a standstill.a Ruiz urged all caucus members not to give in to the government, noting that "[they] are in a unique position, to take back some control before it is [too late]."a Union Party President and party leader Nicole Healey stated that "we outright won the election, not narrowly, but by a margin of 4 seats, that's 53% control. It would not be right to allow a crazed minority to take control for such a long period of time, this is no conspiracy."a On 30 March, 2117, Alfaro and Ruiz tied, leading Alfaro to remain as Interim Speaker.a While a tie does not trigger a new election, it automatically triggers a Speaker vote every month until the tie is broken, or the next election.a The Constitution also particularly said, that for the election of a Speaker, "the Vice President cannot cast the tiebreaking vote, as it is considered to be a form of effective bias towards the government, whilst a Speaker should be solely elected by Members of the Senate elected in the current year."a The next Speaker election was then set to April 30.a On April 30, 2117, a Union Senator announced that he would join the Independence Party, citing his discontentment of the Healey administration.a He then signalled his intention to vote for Ruiz, stating that he believes in "an opposition which is existent, rather than a full-on Union-controlled government."a This move flipped the Speakership election, allowing Ruiz to return as Speaker of the Union, in a vote affirming the Movement-coalition majority.aa a However, the Senator in a last-minute decision backtracked, and stated that he "would not attend the Senate that day."a This resulted in 59 votes being enough to confirm Ruiz, over Alfaro who had 58.a Outgoing Speaker of the Union Cristine Alfaro stated that "the events that played out this last month have been nothing short of a movement of power grabbing."a Healey stated that "what happened is very concerning, and displays elements of a "silent" coup d'état, even if short of being so, constitutionally speaking.a Ruiz, on the other hand, stated "I would like to thank all Senators, to those who have been loyal to our party all along, as well as the defectors who have allowed us to regain some representation form in our government, which too little represents our movement. It is vital to point out that before President Healey was elected, she had the Freedom Party flip to vote for herself, despite its voters not agreeing with her values, allowing her career to be re-established as Speaker prior to her presidential run. Let's also not forget that President Healey started her career as Speaker by a vote that took place weeks prior to the swearing-in of a Senate that would have resulted in a more-than-likely loss. And not to forget, former President Raley relying on the Communist Bloc to become Speaker. Let's not pretend hypocrisy is all around us."aa

== 2119 election ==
With both sides heavily campaigning for new voters, a new record of 25.7 million voters turned out, being 25,701,363. This comes despite polling showing a tighter race, but pundits attributed Healey's unexpected landslide to the controversy surrounding Ruiz's unconventional election as Speaker.aa It gave Union 59% control of the Senate, marking Union's strongest showing since 2103.a Ruiz conceded the election to Healey, but stated "this [Movement] of ours is far from over, it's just getting started."a The next day, Ruiz filed paperwork for her fifth presidential campaign.a
== 2121 election ==
A total of 21,798,203 voted, marking the lowest amount of voters since the 2113 election.a It was later attributed to a lack of enthusiasm from Movement voters.a No new parties filed and all leaders remained the same, the first time ever that such an occurrence had happened.a With 3 parties having narrowly missed the threshold, and two others not far behind, it marks the lowest amount of parties to win seats in a parliamentary style election in CCU history.a Union won the most seats in a mid-term election (for its party) since 2109.a It also marks the strongest bloc for the operating government faction since 2097.a However, Movement won 47 seats in 2109, though it marked 73% of its seats for the coalition, whilst Union made up62% of its seats for the current coalition.a

=== 2123 speakership election ===
Prior to the general election in 2123, and exactly 6 years after again taking office as Speaker, Ruiz unexpectedly announced her resignation, despite a clear Union majority.a Ruiz stated, "This election is it. I'm done serving as your Speaker, being a Senator, this election is it. My full and undivided attention is in becoming the next president for you, the people of this Union."a Others claimed it was a tactic to get more votes in the general election.aa The entire Movement faction failed to attend the vote, stating that "we do not recognize the vote."a
As a result of Movement's withdrawal from the race, a vacancy opened up for Reform, which unanimously nominated its candidate for president Erick Walters for the Speakership.aa
== 2123 election ==
With Incumbent two-term President Nicole Healey ineligible for a third term, this election was seen as more open.a However, with former President Sofía Ruiz having filed her candidacy just one day after she lost the previous election, she was widely seen as the frontrunner for the presidency after losing out the previous two elections.a Ruiz later handily won her renomination for the Movement.a Afterwards, speculation arose regarding whether former President Jodie Heffner would return as the Movement running mate for a record-breaking sixth time.a Regarding the matter, Ruiz stated, "Obviously, as a brief but important former President of the Union, Heffner's role in our Movement is without a doubt, vital. I am open to having her again, so long as she is still interested."aa On the other hand, the Union Party's only second ever Vice President to hold the role for two terms, Gerald Fuentes, announced his campaign as he pursued continuing the Bedford-Raley-Healey legacy.a For the Reform Party, party establishment candidate narrowly lost out renomination to Erick Walters, a prominent figure in the party who broke out from being a leader of a small-time Just Party, leading to a boost for Reform in polling.a
A total of 27,103,597 voted, attributed to increased excitement from voters, specifically with the Reform Party's nomination of Erick Walters.a
On the evening of March 19, 2123, incumbent Vice President Gerald Fuentes conceded to Ruiz, saying that "there is an obvious need for the prevention of vote splitting, and we hope that Movement senators will support this motion as well in the forthcoming future."a Despite losing in third place, Walters declared victory, stating that "our movement is just beginning now, and we are just getting started."a Ruiz shortly declared victory after, stating that "these next four years will only move us forward."a President Healey congratulated Ruiz, stating that "it's about time Ruiz won, we just had to interrupt her for 8 years."a Despite Movement's victory, most analysts noted that this election was really a victory for the conservative parties, noting their big popular vote lead, which would have resulted in an easy Union victory.a However, this claim was disputed by many who noted that a big chunk of Reform's base were first time voters who would not vote for Union necessarily.a Additionally, with Walter's old age, many noted that Sandlin could be the future of the Walters movement.a
Fuentes defeat had also resulted in the Union Party being practically leaderless, due to Fuentes unpopularity with the voters.a In a future election, more Movement voters could opt to vote for Walters, causing the Union Party to implode.a
== 2125 election ==
This election would mark a more important, given the Speakership election following the parliamentary.a The disorganization of Union Party in finding a proper nominee, was noted as a possible reason for a Reform landslide, besides Walter's popularity.a
Former Speaker Cristine Alfaro won the Union leadership election, a notably uncontested one.a Former Vice President Arlo Quinn's Allegiance party was notably absent, with Quinn stating "he would not contest."a The Independence Party saw a faction known as The Independence Project heavily campaign on their behalf, and enlist as Independent candidates, with this election marking the most funded Independent campaign in CCU history.a With this election marking the first since Walters became Reform leader, many wondered if he would follow Ruiz's footsteps in a double run.a Walters finally announced that he would indeed run under both parties, noting that Just Party members were more devoted to his cause.a
Despite Union Party's decline, the party won the mid-term election, albeit with the smallest percentage of votes in history since they began.a However, they were to be unlikely to grow their base enough to win the Speaker election, with Freedom Party being the only potential ally, and not completely in that case.a Walters also noted that despite not being number one on paper, that with the Reform votes, he would be at 32 seats, and Ruiz at 31.a However, it was expected to be a "tough Speaker election."a
Following the faction alignments, the government faction was provisionally set as 47, whilst the opposition was at 59.a However, this was before the Independence announced their siding.a The Union Party announced that Cristine Alfaro would be their candidate, and that it "was only fair" for them to lead conservatives, given the Union victory, and not incumbent Speaker Walters.a Danielson echoed this, stating "Union has my unconditional support."a Walters refused, stating that his bloc is clearly superior, and that his bloc would not vote for Union.a This therefore marked the start of a rift between Union and Reform, less obvious before due to Reform's lack of relevance.a Shortly after Walter's statement, 5 Independent Senators announced their vote would be to Walters.a This virtually put the opposition at a majority, but with the two biggest parties not cooperating, a conflict would ensue.a Additionally, Alfaro attempted to attain support from Freedom, but no Senators from the party accepted her request.a 3 Independent Senators announced later that they would vote for Ruiz.a However, with 50 votes, she would still need 10 more, or to have less Senators absent to automatically win.a Another Independent stated that he would vote for Alfaro, surprising the Walters camp.a The remaining 3 said they would vote for Ruiz.a This, as a result, resulted in an even split for the left and right in Independence.a The first round of voting initiated, with Movement at 53, Walters at 37, and Alfaro at 28.a The next round had Movement at 53, Walters 56 and 9 abstaining.a As a result, Walters remained Speaker in interim.a The next month, on May 30, the 9 Senators were absent to the vote, meaning that only 55 votes were required to get elected Speaker.a However, the 1 Independent Senator who initially voted for Union and switched to Walters also appeared to be absent last minute.a Still, only 55 votes were needed, but Walters was now at 55, and Ruiz 53, though Senators could change their votes from previous month.a Nevertheless, the vote once again found no clear winner, leading Walters to remain as interim Speaker for months.a He then became the longest serving interim Speaker in history.a
Following the election, President Ruiz also stated, "maybe it is now time to start talking about electoral reform."a Walters praised Ruiz for stating such, but stated it "is skeptical to think one elected thanks to the status quo of a system would move against it. Our party is 100% for the idea, but the promises from our previous Presidents lead us to think it is an outgoing President attempting to please the public, perhaps before an essential election which they hope to win. We, on the other hand, will make it our mission to bring the reform our Union so needs."a Another notable part of this election was the Independence Project, which largely financed the Independence Party, leading to it's best result of all time.a Lack of parties was also noted, with only the Communist Bloc, which narrowly missed out, not making the threshold.a Walters stated that "it is vital we allow more grassroots party to join in, as such a funds requirement restricts so many parties, to join. We call on Ruiz to work on this."a

On June 1, 2125, President Ruiz announced her support for the long-awaited electoral reform, starting with Speakership elections.a She stated that the current system made sense, but that rather the top three parties qualifying for a ballot voted only by Senators, that a special election be held to elect the Speaker, based on the three parties that qualified.aaa Speaker Walters stated that while he had other ideas, it was well time for something, and as such, set a vote for June 13, 2125.a All 22 Movement Senators agreed to vote for the bill, including Ruiz's 1 Freedom Seat, and all 12 Reform Senators.a That would be 23 votes.a However, unlike less-relevant votes, 2/3 votes are necessary to make such long-lasting impact changes.a Nevertheless, all 12 Independent Senators confirmed their intention to vote for the change, noting that it was "more independent in nature, letting the people decide who they want, rather than the parties themselves."a That led 35 voters to support it.a Another 12 New Green Senators announced their support.a With 47 voters, only 32 more Senators were needed, which some stated "could be a challenge."a Nevertheless, all 20 Just Senators announced a day later that "they would, unhesitantly, vote for the bill."a That resulted in a shocking amount of 67 to support it, still needing 12 more.a However, Senators from the Union, Freedom, Union francaise and Blood Parties were hesitant to support the bill, saying that they would need to implement something to benefit their supporters.a Nevertheless, 2 Freedom Senators broke rank from their party to announce their support for the bill.a With 69 Senators supporting the bill, 10 were still needed, but it was notably the closest moment to electoral reform, especially with Ruiz only doing so for the Speakership to allow more hesitant Senators to support it without worrying of it changing Presidential elections.a In a way to lobby more votes, President Ruiz announced that a new section would be added to the bill, which would allow Speakers to appoint Deputy Speakers.a This led just one additional Senator from Freedom to announce support, still needing a far-fetched 9 Senators to support the vote.a Nevertheless, two days later, Ruiz fired one cabinet member and appointed Delaplace in her place, with Delaplace after announcing her party's support for the vote.a This marked the first time Union francaise had any role in a government.a With 73 votes now supporting the reform, just 6 votes were needed and Ruiz stated "these next 6 will be really, really hard."a The next day, a Union Senator announced his support, breaking from his party, to become the first Union Senator to support the bill.a Ruiz welcomed his support, stating that "a potential domino effect is what we're hoping for right now."a In a way to appeal to other parties, Walters announced a new bill in which a vote would be held on whether to allow a public vote for Speakership elections.a The vote passed easily with a unanimous supermajority, and therefore, was scheduled for October 3, 2125.a

The popular vote campaign easily won, taking 71.6% of the votes.a Another part of the popular vote option, would be to reset the clock for Speakership elections.a As a result, another Speakership election would be held, by popular vote.a 20,113,976 voted in the election.a Ultimately, Walters came 0.4% votes short of winning an outright victory.a As a result, a second round was to be held. The second round had 16,396,291 voters.a After the first round, Alfaro conceded the election, but stated she would not "give up the fight."a
Bussey conceded the election just one hour into the results, stating that "there was no pathway for him to claim victory."a Walters shortly claimed victory, stating that "[this] victory is a win for our people. It's about time the Speakership was settled."a Pundits stated that Walter's impressive result could serve as a hint for the next election, in which President Ruiz would be term limited out of, meaning she wouldn't lead the party for the first time since 2110.a However, as the system only exists for Speakership elections, such would not be an accurate prediction, but an indication of the Union Party's downfall trend.aa
After being sworn in for his second term as Elected Speaker, he appointed Luisa Sandlin as his deputy speaker.a
