The results were what most expected with BlockGuy44 earning a convincing victory over Grassy and Clinton. Grassy easily won the new District 1 while Block easily won Districts 2, 3 and 4. All three candidates tied in District 5, making this the first time in Alverian history where a district had a three-way tie.
The election marked a reversal of fortunes for the Ba'ath and Biodome Parties, with the Ba'ath Party finishing in second place after finishing in third for two straight elections. This also marked the first time in three elections that The Ba'ath Party was able to carry one of Alveria's districts. This election was also a low watermark for The Bidome Party, who had put up their worst showing to date since their formation. This additionally was the last Presidential election won by a National Alliance candidate before the party was dissolved in August 2021.
