==Electoral System==
Further information: AES explanatory doc, PMA explanatory doc
The National Assembly elects all of her 85 seats in a Simulated/Popular Vote Lottery in which the election system uses a 4:1 ratio of AES to Popular Vote. This election will use AES with the next 3 also using AES.
The main component of the AES is the popular vote which comprises 40% of the AES with other factors such as propaganda, party activity, Party member notability, bills proposed, etc composing the rest of the electorate. The AES is overseen by Matthew V. Independent Candidates function outside of the AES and only require 1/85th (1.18%) of the Popular Vote.
== Background ==
Formed under a coalition of the SDP, ALRP, CSM and M the 90th Government would get its chance to govern Adoria as the first competitively formed multi-party coalition in months.
=== A Presidential Shuffle ===
On December 15th 2022, President Nepo would unexpectedly leave the nation and enter retirement. Alongside Lich and DANIEL! this would make Nepo the 3rd President to leave mid-presidency. 2 days later VP Bjorn would take the oath officially becoming President. He would shortly afterward nominate KAB's Arjona for Vice President. This nomination would prove highly controversial due to Arjona being a KAB hyperpartisan. Some would fear that the KAB had coerced President Bjorn into nominating Arjona even when Bjorn publicly stated he had chosen Arjona on his own free will and volition. Regardless of the circumstances the SDP, ALRP, M would whip against Arjona in the hopes of getting a member of their coalition to be VP if Arjona were to fail. On December 18th 2022, the VP appointment vote would conclude in a tie of 34-34 votes. A debate would ensure if Alice's vote who was NA Speaker at the time was invalid due to a precedent of speakers not voting if so this would make the nomination pass 34-33. Chief Justice Mikoyan would declare since there was no VP to tiebreak the nomination therefore failed.
By now NA Speaker Alice had resigned to assume the Chancellorship leaving in the Assembly decapitated. To mediate the issue staff intervention would be needed and so Admin Montiel would serve as the NA's presiding officer until a new VP was chosen. As a show of good faith the KAB would unconditionally support whoever President Bjorn's 2nd choice was as they were committed to keeping the Vice presidency apolitical. President Bjorn would consider ALRP leader Baron and M deputy DANIEL! as options but in the end he would nominate SoleSol. On December 19th 2022, the Act for appointment of Kristian Gyldenløve to Vice President would unanimously pass with 100.00% in favor.
=== A VoNC Approaches ===
Ever since the 78th Government's VoNCing Adoria had existed peacefully without a VoNC for half year until now. Under coalition agreement the 90th Government was to see no change to social policy legislation this had been done in order to lock in CSM's support despite this on December 20th 2022, ALRP's Noot Noot! would propose a repeal of the Defense of Sanity Act. This law had been passed in the 89th Assembly by the CSM it declared only 2 legal genders based on anatomical sex along with forbidding public education from teaching children gender ideology beyond anatomical sex. It would even go as far as to legally define any person that attempts to coerce a minor under the age of 18 that their gender can be different from their biological sex as being Abuse of a Minor. By proposing a repeal of this law Noot Noot! had directly went against ALRP leadership in a manner similar to AESgate 1 year ago.
Despite previous agreements, ALRP leader Baron, ALRP deputy Rook, and SDP deputy Bossman would vote in favor of Noot's Restoration of the Freedom to Self-Identification Act. CSM leader Ethan would see this as evident betrayal and would withdraw support for the coalition. The repeal would pass with 58.97% in favor but President Bjorn would swiftly veto it.
On December 22nd 2022, the CSM, ALP and KAB would launch a VoNC against Chancellor Alice and therefore the government as a whole. The next day it would conclude with only 46.03% voting in favor meaning the LeftCo would remain in power.
=== Return of the Kings ===
While the Serene Kingdom had long since been restored since November 3rd 2022, the Kingship had remained ever since vacant as the KAB regime had intended to abolish it but these plans would be scrapped after the 4th Constitutional Referendum failed. Even then it would not be until December 17th 2022, that the KING Act was passed officially assembling a new regency council to appoint a King. After several days of inactivity and debating a deal would be struck for King Adoria to become King King Adoria of Adoria for 3 days before abdicating to Yannick. On December 26th 2022, voting would conclude and President Bjorn would subsequently declare King Adoria as the next King of Adoria. 
== Results==
On December 28th 2022, the 91st Adorian election would begin concurrent with the 40th Adorian presidential election. Following its conclusion it would take 76 hours for results to be released on January 2nd 2023. With only 84 votes this would be the first time there would be more seats than votes. A turnout of 13.06%.

==Government Formation==
Following the release of the results SDP leadership members would publicly speak of how they could easily form government and that it was only a matter of time before ALRP merged into SDP. ALRP leadership would take high offense to these remarks and would refuse to negotiate a government with the SDP. The M would also be insulted knowing how easily the SDP wanted to drop them as quick as they could. The KAB, ALRP, M would effectively negotiate a coalition with ALRP deputy RookWilt as Chancellor.
However before they could present their coalition, President Von Oldrich had found a loophole in the constitution that the President can nominate anyone he wants for Chancellor if the nominee is a member of the party with the most seats even without negotiations. On January 3rd 2023, while SDP leader Alice was asleep, President Von Oldrich would exploit this loophole to demonstrate the problems the constitution has by nominating Lux Jefferson for chancellor. Lux would encourage all parties to vote for him for the hilarity of it all but he would soon give up and vote against the nomination himself when he realized none were interested. If elected he had promised to leave the SDP and become independent and form the first cabinet to include people of every party. The next day the vote would conclude with only 41.18% in favor of Lux's nomination. This would make Lux the 4th person to fail a Chancellor confidence vote after Nepo, Liimur and Valeryon.
Now that the vote of confidence had failed a chancellor election would be expected but President Von Oldrich would simply propose another chancellor, this time RookWilt on behalf of the KAB-ALRP-M coalition. This interpretation of the constitution would be different from precedent as it had always been interpreted as the first VOC being a negotiated government symbolically appointed by the President not a chancellor nominee picked by the President without discussion. The second VOC had been interpreted as being a election held within the Assembly not a VOC holding the endorsement of a majority of party leaders. The next day the vote would conclude with a narrow vote of 32-34 (48.48%).
Now that the second VOC had failed the obscure protocol of having the President appoint the Chancellor without a vote would occur. He would attempt to form a unity government but the KAB, ALRP, M, ACI would all reject it as they would not agree to Von Oldrich's condition of the SDP getting the chancellorship instead of a compromise candidate. On January 6th 2023, President Von Oldrich would appoint Lady Alice to another term as Chancellor under a SDP-CSM government. The Assembly held the choice to hold a VOC on Alice and if it failed she would have the choice to either resign or call snap elections. However the Assembly would not bother to contest the appointment letting the matter be put to rest.
The 91st government would be the first government to not hold a majority of the assembly's seats since the 81st government. The 91st government would also be the first government formation since the 83rd government to have a ministry-holding Independent MNA in it. While the 91st government followed proper procedure and held full executive powers it is considered to be a semi-caretaker for its failure to truly secure support of a majority of party leaders agreeing or the assembly's confidence via vote this is the first time this has happened since the 57th government.
