A federal election was held in Enderron on Saturday 23 September 2006 to elect the 150 members of the 16th Enderronian Parliament.
The incumbent Liberal Party of Enderron government, led by Prime Minister Wally Koepke, was re-elected to a second term, defeating the opposition Social Democratic Party of Enderron, led by Jason Huynh. It won an outright majority, after having governed in a coalition government with the Enderron National Party since the previous election in 2002.
The election was regarded as having broken the Social Democrats' longstanding hegemony in Enderronian politics, being the first (and currently only) election since 1966 in which a right-of-centre party won a majority of seats and a right-of-centre government was re-elected. The Social Democrats' result was the party's worst in terms of popular vote since 1986 and in terms of share of seats since 1962. It was the first time the Social Democrats did not win a plurality of the popular vote since 1966; they would not do so again until 2018.
The Liberal Party campaigned on its economic record, pointing at strong economic growth over the past four years, as well as its strong policies on immigration, law and order and national security. Meanwhile, the Social Democratic Party focused on the goods and services tax, which was introduced in 2004 even after the Liberals pledged not to introduce one prior to the 2002 election. These were at times overshadowed by the issue of the controversial 2003 invasion of Iraq, which divided voters from both sides of politics.
In the end, voters swung to the Liberals, particularly in the Metro Central Region and Eastern Enderron, which are traditional strongholds for the SDP. The major cities swung especially hard away from the Social Democrats, who lost further ground in Wentworth and New Plymouth. The election marked the first time since independence where the Liberals or their predecessors won multiple seats in New Colorado or won a majority of seats in Tojima.
2006 also marked the first election where one of the major party leaders, Huynh, was of Asian descent, and the most recent election where neither major party leader was a woman.
