A state election was held on Saturday, 22 October 2072 to elect the members of the 24th Parliament of the Craftian state of Western Craftia. The incumbent first-term centre-left National United Party government, led by rookie Premier Violet Zhang, was re-elected to a second term, defeating the opposition centre-right Craftian Conservative Party, led by Opposition Leader Jenn Fung, despite a large negative swing.
The Conservative Party won a plurality of votes and seats, edging out the United Party by 1 seat, but United was able to continue its coalition government with the Liberal Party of Craftia, with support from the Craftian Greens, on a reduced majority of 23, down from 27. The Mojang Democratic Party re-entered the Legislative Assembly, with 2 seats.
