==Electoral System==
The President of Adoria is directly elected using a two-round system for a four-week term, with no term limits.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Adorian Constitution, the president must be elected by an absolute majority of valid votes. If no candidate succeeds in passing this threshold in the first round, a second round of voting is held with the two candidates who received the largest shares of the vote. If the runoff ties than the President elected by the National Assembly.
In order to be registered to contest the election, a candidate must be an Adorian citizen for at least 3 weeks, and have collected at least 10 voters' signatures by themselves and be between 30 to 70 years old.

On March 6th 2023, Earthly would leave the CSM and join KAB to become their new deputy leader. He made this decision as in his view there was nothing left for him in CSM anymore and he could potentially strengthen the odds of a future campaign as a Kabber. He however always harboured plans on founding his own party which he hoped to finally complete shortly after the 43rd presidential election ideally after winning the presidency.
President Von Oldrich would take the unprecedented step of running for a 4th consecutive term, he would easily carry SDP's endorsement. He would maintain Carlos Montiel as his VP. Montiel was still not ALRP leader or deputy so this guaranteed no endorsement.
Following the KAB March Address, Earthly would accelerate his plans and founded the Adorian Patriotic Movement early due to fears that KAB's radical shift in Russia policy would alienate possible voters. As campaign season began, a Earthly/Arjona ticket would be struck which satisfied the KAB base who were always mixed on the original idea of a KAB Earthly presidency that would abandon the party shortly after a hypothetical victory. Earthly would be endorsed by the APM and KAB along with the ALRP.
ALRP's would be shaky as it became strained after Earthly publicly jokingly suggested a compromise for the Kingslayer Act be arranged where the monarchy is abolished while keeping anti-abortion provisions in power. ALRP Leader Yannick would announce ALRP would no longer be endorsing Earthly/Arjona before deleting this announcement the next day. SDP Leader Von Oldrich would attack the ALRP for enabling a Kabber candidate during their neo-fascist era. ALRP Leader Baron had sworn to not work with KAB but as Earthly had now made a new party they were able to put aside Earthly's KAB connections.
Nothing would be posted in #presidential-campaign until after the election started on April 2nd 2023. This would be the first time such an event had occurred since the 33rd presidential election 10 months ago. At the time of election Earthly had sent 281 messages (#18) in the last 30 days while Von Oldrich had sent 132 (#26). Aurelius would speculate a return a presidential run but would decide against it and instead would wait for a post-Oldrich climate.
==Results==
The 42nd presidential election would begin on April 2nd 2023, concurrent with the 97th general election. After concluding the next day, a groundbreaking wait would commence until results were released 85 hours later. President Von Oldrich would be the first person elected to the Presidency 4 times, the SDP would be the first party to win 4 presidential victories in a row. VP Montiel would be elected to the Vice Presidency for a 3rd time, second only to KA's 5 VP victories. Both sides would claim this to be their hardest campaign up to that point. In his concession speech, Earthly would announce plans to run again in the next presidential election. This was analyzed to be the most competitive of Von Oldrich's 4 campaigns. Had Earthly won the APM would have been the youngest party ever to win a presidential election as they were only 7 days old when results were released. Turnout would be 14.24%.
