== Primaries ==
=== Freedom Party primaries ===
Incumbent CCU President Gil Brinson, nominated by Adele Mayfield as her running mate and Vice President for her 3rd term run from 2071 (ending for her in 2073, and Brinson in 2075), controversially won the primaries by 0.16 points, automatically activating a recount. However, after the recount, Brinson's lead widened to 50.23%, compared to Ruiz's 49.77%. The primaries was seen as the fight between 'political [Freedom] establishment vs. anti-establishment anti-corruption[as usual] open-to-new-conventions candidate Ruiz'. After losing, Ruiz refused to concede the election and stated that "I tried. I appreciated Mayfield's strength in uniting parties. Bipartisanship. I lost to her, that did piss me off at the time. But through time, I came to appreciate Mayfield's important task. Personally, I do believe that her 10-year term was, just a bit too much, we can't refrain from other faces ruining- I mean representing our party. When Mayfield nominated Brinson, I was like ok. I finished higher than him. She wouldn't choose the public's choice, me, but instead someone to her 'establishment standards'. As part of a strengthening campaign, I came to realize that every party - yes, even our's, can indeed have corruption. Our job is to fight it O.F.F. If we can't. Then our party simply will cease to exist. That is why I will not concede the election, nor will I endorse Brinson for President." Ruiz added, "We will continue the fight. It's not ever, not just yet, not ever." Adele Mayfield had met with both Eula Ruiz and Gil Brinson prior to the primaries. However, despite herself nominating Brinson for Vice President, as a running mate, she pledged not to endorse any candidate until after the election, to allow "the primaries to play themself out". After winning the primaries, Brinson stated that he 'understood the political divide' and stated that he planned to continue to pledge to Mayfield's effort in bringing the Union together, 'especially at this time of urgency.' Shortly thereafter, Brinson and Wilt met together to sign the contract for the/a/the 2074 joint Freedom-Progressive Party joint leadership election. He stated that 'it is important, more than ever, as we have learned from 2071, that we cannot let our fellow partner votes to waste. That is why we are pledging, to unionize the bigger party nominee, now and not never." Subsequently, former CCU President and Leader/Nominee of Freedom Party endorsed Gil Brinson for President, heading into the leadership election between Wilt and himself, Brinson. Some criticized this move, noting that if she 'wanted it to play out' she would have had to wait until after the leadership election.' However, most and many as well as some, disputed this, noting that as 'the most popular Freedom Party member since [Gabriella Gould], it was nevertheless obvious who [she'd/she would endorse].'
=== Freedom–Progressive Party joint leadership election ===
Freedom Party nominee and Incumbent President Gil Brinson won the joint leadership election by a new high of 51.01%, to Wilt's 48.99%, seen as both turnouts for Freedom and Progressive lower due to 'dissatisfaction with Freedom primaries result, or previous leadership for Progressive voters'. Ultimately, the election saw a 9% decrease turnout from the 2070, attributed to these reasons. As such, it is thought that Brinson won easier than Mayfield simply due to less voters. Prior, polling suggested too close to call or swing, but with many polls attributed to a potential victory for Wilt, who had been expected to win. After her loss, she conceded the election to Brinson, and stated that 'we must stand by the Freedom Party's side, otherwise, we risk giving the election to Pauley and their Union.' She went on, 'I know many Progressives our party has, are disheartened by the result. But we must see this as an indicator, that the Freedom is our best shot. ' Wilt later confirmed that the 2075 election course would indeed be her last and final one. In a public rally, she confirmed that "[her] fight is over, and it's time to give the people someone new", confirming earlier reports that she had resigned as leader of the Progressive Party and its child Resilience Party. She stated 'its clear. New blood will move us higher." The election marked the end of her long political career, having served as a co-leader of the Anti-Union Party in 2051, then going on to be sole leader, then its merged Resilience leader, to reformed Progressive leader. Under her leadership and nomination-ship, she saw new peaks. Following her announcement, the Progressive Party was seen as 'leaderless'.

=== Union Party primaries ===
Pauley easily won Union Party primaries, by 63.09%, despite the poor Union Party performance in 2071. However, she attributed it to Mayfield's promise of '2 final years, then new leadership'. In the past, previous Union Party leader Jarrett Hagen had cited Gould, Freedom leader, for his loss, but went on to lose more. In contrast to Freedom/Progressive, with one different nominee coming from Freedom, it was a direct rematch of 2070. With Union Party's loss in 2070, Reform Party nominee Mercado used it to outline 'the need for a reformed right-wing leader'. This rallied her many new supporters, some from Union Party, converted.
* Criston Pauley
=== Union–Reform Party joint leadership election ===
The Reform Party defeated Union Party in a shock 56% upset victory. While projections suggested a tossup, or lean towards Reform Party, none had 'without a reasonable doubt, projected a tilt or lean towards it.' As well, polls had only suggested a slight advantage for Reform Party, with only a small lead expected by Reform, but also some small advantages for Union with short victories. Mercado stated, "We started our revolution back in 2063. They said 'we have no chance. nor will we qualify for polls.' They may have perceived our chances, right, but we did them polls justice by making it, into them. Then, they told us 'sure, you'll get into the Senate, but without any impact.' Then we seated higher then the former dominant party that was For the People, the previous third party, we edged them out. Not one poll saw us with the amount of seats we gained, proving our against-odds campaign. But they never stopped trying. to. smear us. And . Here, we are now. We finally defeated the Union Party, courtesy of their voters, for allowing Pauley to be the one I would face. But that's all behind us now, as we rally for the greater good of defeating the joke that is 'Gil Brinson', ['Gil Brinson'], 'Gil Brinson'.. Pauley conceded the election to Mercado, stated 'As much as I had been prone to admitting it, I knew this day would come, sooner or later. Eventually. I, however, wanted to do best to represent our Union. Our party. While that never happened as the leader, I am happy to have lead our party to its peak recent high of 32 seats under old system, which was furthered to 44." She added at the end of her speech, "That is why, after serving as leader or nominee since 2063, I will opt to no longer seek the nomination and give a chance for fresher, newer blood who will broaden and extend to expend and expand our horizens."

Heading from 2051, with some departures and break,s, Lloyd announced his retirement and department from CCU politics. Rossiya Party Leader Chuck Georgiy then confirmed his inteintion to run for nomination. Georgiy won mainly unopposed with 61.57% in first round voting.

=== Reform Party primaries ===
* Nikole Mercado
=== Other/third party primaries ===
* Devina O'Neil, who had served as Independence Party leader in 2067, and run as an Independent in 2071 under Indepence Party's deformation as a result of old-system return and overhaul, announced she would opt not to run for President. Although usually leaning left, she endorsed Nikole Mercado for President, over incumbent Freedom President Gil Brinson, citing Mercado's 'Reform policies' as something which couuld 'revoloutionze the CCU.' as well, 'making it more fair, less corrupt and direct-democracy.' Although some Reform Party policies were similar with Resilience/Progressive, they did not make the final stage, losing out a leadership election for a consecuctive time. Both were agreed by Freedom and the former to avoid 'vote spilling'. While some other Independents declared their run for President, they could not establish themselves in the way that o"Neil did, failing to gain ground in any straw polls or any other, and ultimately suspended their campaign before the election, having been denied access in all or most ballots, not wanting to progress and continue as a Write-in candidate.
Most and a number of analysts stated that O'Neil's decision meant that Independents were at risk to lose all seats in the aftermath of the election, unless a aclaimed Independent or swinger joined and entered the race. However, a number joined the Reform Party endorsing and atttempting to become a Senator under minority or potential majority government. Otherwise, under minorty power with no control, unless Freedom winning a minority government.
The Moderate Party, never a part or represented in the Senate, stated that it would continue its task 'to moderate CCU[hopefully]' noting that the Union should 'refrain' from going [left] many times, or [right] occasionally rare in times. The Blood Party stated they 'had a task' more than ever, with the exclusion of the Union Party in a ballot for the first time since [ever]. The BPC stated that 'ballot exclusuion og/of [Union] sets a bad precedent, which is why 2075 will be more important than [ever] for our Senate debute entrance." The Justice Party also confirmd its contesting. The No Allegiance Association stated they'd 'continue to defy the [status quo] by competing.' The Communist Party sttated 'we mus t not let our defeat, we will battle this election." After a while, the One Matter Party stated that they would suspend and expel their party, as aresult of decreasigng party budget, numbers, and near-lack of qualification to ballots, as well funds not allowing much promotion, or participation inelections." The Blackout Party, on the other hand, confirmed. Other parties were not known to public eye. However, the new system notably was a 'big constraint' to many of these smaller parties, disallowing them to win much, with only goals becoming and beeing gaining aseat in a target state.
Mauldin, announced he would run for the nomination of No Allegiance Assocation , for the last time. He had prior to , declined in popularity, and his announcement had recertified party officials and assured that he would remain uncontested. He won primaries by 67.09%.
Darwin Ashford once again won the Blackout nomination, narrowly defeating One Matter previous nominee Teague by his 51.03%, to her 48.97%, in second round voting.
Hardison stated that she would not run for the nomination of Justice Party. Self-proclaimed "outsider" Dorthey Hutson won nomination by 59.33% in first round voting. Jerlene Beckham won renomination by 53.96%, in first round.
Erick Walters announced the creation of the Just Party, with no claimed position. He faced Jamie Bradley and Eva Johnston, Billie Patrick, Troy Sharp, Jody Davidson, Ricardo Griffin, Laura Logan,Marvin Pittman and Jamie Garcia in primaries, but won with 70.96% in first round. This was later reported as a "stunt" and that they were all part of his cabinet for election "victory". However, the party did not qualify for any polls, and projected to place lastin the election.

=== Qualification ===
The CCU confirmed prior to the 2071 election that the 2075 debates would again all require 15 seats at minimum. Alternatively, 10% in 3 polls for the first debate. For the second, 11.5% in 3 polls. For the third, 13% in 4 polls. The CCU and EC defended this, noting that 'when the debates are stuffed with parties without a real chance of winning an election, they void the 'presidential' purpose, just debating to 'fill more seats'. Any party that has a 'real' shot gets to debate, as proven by previous election results." The CCU added, "to allow parties some growth, we have indeed lowered the requirement to start at just 10% in 3 polls - but if any narrowly reach this, they must show proof of growth in their campaign, as the election date looms closer, and closer. We only believe this is, more than fair." With the debate seat criteria / criterion based on party, any nominee of Freedom Party or Union Party would automatically be granted a seat in the debate. With Independent, any of the ten Senators would apply, however, it is void due to only 10 seats, therefore, not ruling any advantage to any Independents. However, the CCU stated that the 'Independent' rule only applied to the previous nominee, as if otherwise, would allow '10' to qualify for debates, or 15 if 15 which necessary. However, in April 2071, the CCU and EC announced in a joint statement that they had ultimately removed the seat criterion . Noting that under the new electoral system, it had become less and less 'useful' for this type of 'determination'. As a result, qualification would be based on polling alone, giving all candidates an equal chance.
Chuck Georgiy, nominee of the Global Interests Party, confirmed that "outsider debates" would come back for the 2075 election. Additionally, he stated that owing to the 'success' of the previous course, two debates would be commisioned. The CCU reiterated its stance that any candidates who appeared in these would be banned from sanctioned ones. However, this had no affect on non-qualifying, although if they were to gain popularity from the non-sanctioned, and reach qualifications, they would not receive an invitation nevertheless.

== Aftermath ==
Despite polls suggesting a closer election, Mercado won the election by a staggering 60%, and received the most seats since Union Party in 2047 elections. With Global Interets, the rioght-wiong bloc had 62% support. In order to enact "complete" changes, they would nered Freedom Party support.
== 2079 election ==
Nikole Mercado won Reform Party primaries by 85.99% in first round voting, with no preference the second highest option, followed by "extremely minor parties candidates". Mercado won leadership election by 79.3% to Union Party, WHO attempted to unesseat Reform. The real fight, as most noted, was between Freedom Party and Progressive Party. Despite early hassles to agree on a c ontract, both parties agreed it was important, as otherwise an "automatic victory to Reform would ensue".
Eula Ruiz, considered a top Freedom candidate, announced that "she would not contest 2079". Brinson tated he "would not bother".
At last, Nikki Fairley won Freedom primaries by 50.3%, a narrow victory over former oponnent Miquel Kozlowski techoncrat, who had beaten her narrowly in 20674 for third place in first round. New candidates challenged the Progessive Party bnomination, after the political retirement of Meryl Wilt in 2075 after long CCU - political career, without being elected President0-ever,though gaining much seats.
Controversially, Chuck Georgiy was defeated in Global Interests primary, considering a potential "loss in Russian vote bloc in general election." However, allegedly, they would "nowhere to go" unless defecting to Blood Party.
( Or other lighter right-wing parties.)
Fairley defeated the Progressive Party by her 51.3%. The Progressives had also had a darker horse candidate, which narrowly lost, contributed and attributed to the party's loss to Freedom - again.
A total of 15,092,013 people voted, a hughe increase, attributed to Mercado's warning that "thje establishment was scared and was ready to defeat her."
The Reform Party won the most seats any party had ever gained in the CCU election history. With tihs election, having marked 60 years of CCU elections. With the Reform Party controlling 81% of the Senate, 15 points ahead of the required 66%, this became the first time ever a party had 2/3 control of the Senate. As a result, the Reform Party could do "anything" it would like in the Senate, with opposition unable to do anything in the Senate. As a result, most Freedom Party senators were absent to most votes and sessions, due to feeling that their presence was "not required" and nor "weclomed" and that they served no purpose but to inspect sessions, and ensure were following conduct. Nevvertheless, higher upper levels attended, not requiring themselves to do so.
== 2083 election ==
Following two consecuctive terms, Reform President Nikole Mercado would not be able to run. As a result, most oddmakers put Vice President Jani Holder as the likely successor. However, Holder ruled out a 2083 bid as early as 2081, stating that 'he would like to take a break, after serving 8 years as Vice President.' Though this slowed down oddmakers, Holder remained on top. However, Eula Ruiz remained a close second, although her campaign was silent, unknown if she would run. A potential challenge from the Progressive Party, was also not ruled out. On the other hand, the Union Party had odds low. Widespread speculation of Devina O'Neil running as an Independent was ultimately ruled out as she announced that she would serve as the Freedom Party running mate, in a 'unity bid'.

=== Primaries ===
Following two consecuctive landslide victories for the Reform Party, many parties felt alienated and that their chances were already predetermined, with their candidacy being "valueless" and "worthless", with Reform Party being set to win a third consecuctive term. Despite Vice President Jani Holder denying his entrance to the race, he led odds, with some and most thinking he would "change his mind",to not enter the race "too early". As well, Reform primaries were not crowded, due to assumption of a potential Holder candidacy. With McMahon campaigning, she was widely criticized for a scandal, having condemned the "Freedom Party" for being part of a 'conspiracy to eliminate the For the People Party, Green Party, Resilience Party and its predecessor Anti-Union and Anti-Corruption Party, and the merged Progressive Party.Kozlowski stated he was "ashamed". Since, McMahon apologized, however she was unable to revive some of her support, who opted not to vote or switched over to Miquel, over "time". Kozlowski had been projected to win before, but only narrowly, with the scandal having helped him win in a landslide victory. His victory put his competitors for the main election, "in dissaray".

==== Freedom ====
Many had presumed Eula Ruiz would run for the Nomination, with her consistently being the odds-on runner-up to Holder. However, in 2082, Ruiz ruled out a run for President, having assumed a role in another company, organization. Following this statement, odds shot for Miquel Kozlowski to win the nomination, having not announced or denied yet. He later confirmed his bid and announced his "long-time coming 2075 run for President."

==== Reform ====
In 2081, after serving as Vice President since 2075 and winning two elections as Running Mate, Jani Holder stated that he 'would like to take a break from CCU life, and career, after having served as Vice President for 8 full years." He swiftly reverified this claim, and on other occasions, did not answer the reporter(s). In December 2082, deadline for Reform Party primaries were looming. On December 17, 2082, Holder stated that "after much thought, and having had the pleasure and big opportunity to serve the Union as Vice President, that 'the fight was too important' and that he could take a break if and when, apologizing to potential supporters and voters for 'leading on'." He stated that he was ready to 'fight for the ongoing causes of the Reform Party, and continue what work Mercado did to better the Union, for the better." He later won Reform Party primaries by 95.74%, a huge and "record victory for Incumbents or none , otherwise." Most cabinet officials, if not all, but all, and major candidates had refrained from declaring or announcing candidacy in fear that it 'would just be divisive and divide the party, when, a better candidate could announce and turn the race forward.'

==== Union ====
Following Holder's easy landslide victory in Reform Party primaries, Union nominee Bedford had been 'unsure' about a potential leadership election. Holder urged Bedford to do so, noting that 'the best right-wing party shall advance to the final stage, the election, no matter that is Reform, or Union Party. Otherwise, we risk giving the election to a left-wing party, whether that is Progressive or Freedom Party, which both agreed to a joint election." Raley, who had nearly won the nomination in the first round, declined in the second due to a depressed turnout, leading "establishment" candidate Nolan Bedford to a narrow victory. Raley, had stated that he 'would definitely agree to a joint election', however, when Bedford was asked, he had 'avoided the question', and stated that he would do what was in 'Union's best interests."
Holder then stated that 'he would not mind whatever decision [Bedford] would make,but advised that a leadership election "had proven to work for the [right-wing bloc] 2 of 3 times." He then proceeded to hint that Bedford felt "threatened" and was "scared of defeat". As a result, Bedford stated he '[was] not "triggered" by [his] comments and confirmed he would not go through witha leadership election.'

Despite widespread speculation that former For the People leader Chase Hirsch would run for the nomination, he stated that 'he would continue practising his private career'. Former Green leader Karla Sanchez stated that 'any rumors of my candidacy, are 100% false. I'm not getting back to CCU politics or a career. That doesn't mean I don't want to be President, one day?" This led to widespread speculation of Marina McMahon running to win. She subsequently announced her candidacy. She urged that "joint elections, are determental/detremental to defeat the right-wing bloc of the now. Is, time." With high ballot requirements, and fees, with no write-in candidates allowed, only 4 candidates entered the final stage of the ballot. The PPC stated it 'is important to not [waste] votes, and to get 'straight to the point', otherwise, potentially wasting a round, due to smaller candidates, with 'no clear path to the nomination.' It is not reasonable' However, the Committee stated that it was 'open' to chaning rules in the future, courtesy of votes and voting.

=== General election ===
A total of 17,019,732 people voted, a new record. Controversially, Jani Holder defeated Kozlowski with his 281 electoral votes, 57 ahead of Freedom nominee Miquel Kozlowski. Despite this, Kozlowski won the popular vote with 45.1%, 5.3 percentage points ahead of Kozlowski. However, Reform Party supporters noted that, with Union Party votes added, together the two would make 49.6% of the popular vote, 4.5 percentage points ahead of Freedom Party. However, this was criticized, with some stating that 'if you start adding Union, you may as well add all third-party, et cetera." Additionally, the Freedom Party itself controlled half (50%) of the Senate, making it 1 Senator short of being able to "enact change." Together with Union Party, the Reform Party would also be at 50%. As a result, many stated that "Reform Party would need to enact universal policies that would reach out to the Freedom Party, or some, in order to do anything in office." It was considered a 'stand-off'. As a result, some stated that 'Holder could come 2087, with a disadvantage, not being able to accomplish 'real change' that the Reform Party stands for." Holder , however, stated that 'he was lookinh forward to deliver a government to all, left, right, or in between, otherwise non-political."
The amount of seats received by Freedom Party marked the party's highest since 2039, in 44 years. Following Kozlowski's defeat, the Twitter account for Freedom Party stated that "they [were looking forward for a] rematch [to] the Reform Party in 2087." As well, Holder attributed the 'standoff situation' to Bedford's decision to run, noting some close states, in which Kozlowski had narrowly defeated Holder, due to votes for Bedford, which would have otherwise went to Holder, likely. Many noted that Kozlowski could once again become the Freedom nominee in 2087, this time with more leverage.

== 2085 elections ==
The CCU announced in March 15, 2083, Election Day, that for the first time ever, mid-term elections would be held on March 16, 2085, two years following the presidential election. It was stated as a "referendum and review of the current presidential term, that would allow voters to vote for their party, parliamentary style." With the mid-terms elections not serving as presidential, but for party factions power, the fee to be added to the ballot and donations, regarding the election, were substantially lower, allowing more minor and Independent candidates to enter, which usually would not due to lacking funds and visibility, as well as power.
The CCU announced, that unlike in the past, that an election would thereafter be held to determine the first Speaker of the House, a role that in the past had been part of the Vice Presidency. The CCU stated that this was 'to ensure that of a balance of power would occur, to not overpower any." The Progressive Party, which confirmed it would remain united for its first parliamentary election, confirmed alongside Freedom Party that "a leadership election was not necessary for this type of election."
The CCU confirmed that the 2.50% threshold would be reapplied once again, opting not to reduce or advance/expand/increase it. A total of 16,317,148, a big ~2 million decrease over the previous - presidential election.
The CCU announced that the top three placing parties of the election would be eligible to nominate a candidate for Speaker, which would be voted upon in the election by the 116 elected members of the newly - elected Senate. 59 member votes were required to win, if not in first round, the top two would qualify to the second round.
CCU President Jani Holder announced that due to internal timing issues within the Reform Party, that the party had decided to unaninomously appoint prominent Reform Party member Ayanna Geary as the party nominee for Speaker. In a deal to avoid the Progressive Party contesting the 2087 election, or in a leadership election, the Freedom Party announced that they would not contest the Speaker election. As a result, the Progressive Party confirmed that they had unanimously decided to appoint their leader Marina McMahon as the Freedom nominee for Speakership.
The Communist–Justice senators were absent for the vote, having livestreamed during the vote, as a protest against the top two contenders. They stated that "rules were not [ethical] or [democratic] and that all parties which had won seats should[have] the right to contest the Speaker election, whether or not they have a [chance] to [win] it."
The election marked the first representation of the Moderate Party, Blood Party, Communist and Justice Party, as well as the newly formed Libertarian Party. The Independence Party had not reformed in time for the election, as the nature of the "party" so-called, meant that it was only necessary for parliamentary-style elections. Attached with O'Neil, and Kozlowski's loyalty to 'no party' allowed him to be 'a favorite of the Independence party', receiving much backing from Independents alike.Following the election, the Communist-Justice Party announced that they would split, with both parties representing 3 seats.

== 2087 election ==
News circulated of an electoral reform, to once again allow smaller parties to have a bigger influence in elections. That said and stated, it was reported that a presidential election would be held, as usual, however, no one candidates would be allowed to choose running mates. Instead, the Vice President would be elected through a parliamentary election, through a majority. As a result, this could result in the President and Vice President differing in parties. However, the CCU stated that 'this was fictional, and nothing less, or more."

With the deal that Marina McMahon would serve as CCU Speaker, the Progressive Party did not contest the election, giving the Freedom Party an advantage.
==== Union ====
Nolan Bedford stated following his "succesful showing performance in 2083, he would reseek the nomination." His primary opponent, Devon Raley, stated that his "methods of oppresion must be battled, for the future of the party." He, as a result, confirmed his recandidacy for the primaries. Sasha Bayer, who nearly defeated Bedford in the first round of primaries, stated that "she was not ready for another fight." Other prominent Union Party members declined to run, especially due to "incumbency power of Holder, not wanting to risk a incoming left-victory." Daren Alfaro, who was widely rumored to run in 2083, but did not, and nevertheless finished in 10th place as a write-in candidate, stated "he opted to run." Elke Devore stated an intent "to build on, what she started in 2083." The UPC launched new primary rules, restricting write-in candidates that "do not receive plurality, mno, that don't receive 1%, are not counted in the final voting taly./tally." Although not considered completely significant, it was as for more easily allowing candidates to receive the 50.01% threshold more easily. A "none of the above" option was considered for the second round, which would prohibit both Bedford and Alfaro from running in a new primary if the option were to receive plurality/majority of votes. However, with three option,s, it was ruled out.
Jarrett Nolen stated in January 2087 that he "would not be interested in participating as a running mate again." Alfaro and Raley, two "never-Bedford'ers" were automatically ruled out from nomination of running mate. Meanwhile, Elke Devore, who had typically held neutral stances regarding Bedford's participation, had reportedly been "considered for nomination". She slightly improved her fifth place position with 9.56%, to a fourth place position (last) with 10.71%. However, most noted that running twice would typically give a bigger boost, and as such, did not "tout her improvement". Nevertheless, Devore confirmed in February 2087 that she "did not receive a call." Bedford announced on February 25,2087, that he chose businesswoman Arie Heredia as his running mate.

=== Freedom ===
With the Freedom Party's easy seat-victory in 2085, all eyes were on the party for 2087. With Miquel Kozlowski serving as parliamentary leader in 2085, he was sought as and rumored as the again-Freedom nominee. However, a potential Eula Ruiz run could "block it".
Nevertheless, Kozlowski's 2083 running mate, Devina O'Neil, an Independent Freedom-elected Senator, ruled out a Presidential or Vice Presidential run for President, stated that she would "opt not to pursue the incoming campaigning craziness."
Despite O'Neil ruling her vice presidency candidacy out, odds were still in favour of Kozlowski once again winning the nomination; this would become the first election ever of this system to have the exact- two or three candidates.
Following the 2085 elections, former Senator Diedra Garmon became the first major candidate to declare their candidacy. She stated "2087 would define, or 'worse', redefine the CCU and we 'need to be smart' about this." Although running a slow campaign, she received some key endorsements by 2086. Three-time failed Senator candidate Carley Jacoby announced her candidacy in December 9, 2085, becoming the second "major" after a boost increase in polls. On January 13, 2086, Von Major entered the race, becoming the first Incumbent Senator to enter the race, hailing from Britain. On January 31, 2086, Kelsie Ouellette, a newscaster,, hailing from France, who had served as a prominent political pundit for CCU news, entered the race. On February 13, 2086, Kristan Dale entered the race, but was widely ignored as a minor candidate, though would have an effect on the race in the future. On February 27, Rene Linder became the second incumbent Senator to enter the race, having just been elected in 2085. He said, "I thought, I should wait. But, we have a very important race in 2087, I would like to be part of that. I want to help us retake the Union." For weeks ahead, no major Freedom candidate declarations had been made, with ongoing media speculation of a Ruiz/Kozlowski/O'Neil run.
The FPC announced on March 15, 2086, that the first Freedom Party debate would be held on June 1, 2086. A limit was set to 15-20 candidates, but generally, 20 if qualifications were met. Candidates would be required to achieve 1% in a poll, four times, between March 25 and May 25.
RCV was confirmed, for the primaries. However, on March 10, reports stated that Lissette Lemay was considering a second presidential run, having finished fourth in the first and only ballot with 5.57%. Lemay denied this, stating that "I did not look into another run, this was unfortunately to my supporters, an attempt to sway your attention." Despite her deny, her response was considered "an open possibility". On March 20, 2086, Mertie Winslow announced that she would "continue the journey that started in 2082, and prepare to [finish] it off." Her campaign had started minor, slowly turned major, but after a setback or some, was reverted back to minor, leaving her off the ballot. Despite this, she managed to defeat Renea Rasmussen who had indeed qualified to the ballot, and placed 5th overall with 5.36%, known for "universal grasroots politics". She had indeed entered the Freedom race right off the bat, as a major candidate, having been elected as a Senator in 2085. This made her the 3rd incumbent Senator to enter the race, with some analysts having then stated and considered the possibility of a "record crowded attendance field in the primaries race for nomination." Winslow had dominated headlines in and on March 19 with rumors of her candidacy, which had proven to be correct.(somehow). A Secretary of Union or Secretary Union/Union Secretary position was rumored for the runner-up, should the Freedom Party assemble a government following the 2087 election, with some former Secretaries rumored for candidacy, yet declined all.
On May 26, 2086, the FPC confirmed that 5 candidates would be invited to the first debate,with all major candidates excluding Jacoby qualified. Jacoby as a result stated her distent with the system and confirmed "[she] would not withdraw from the race." Winslow's March 20 entrance to the race then appeared to be the last major declaration to the race for "awhile". Following the first presidential debate, which considerably lowered Linder's lead, and gave no clear leader, Kozlowski expressed the "posibility of entering into the race, and teased." Eula Ruiz, having declined, before, in 2083, stated that "she was unaware of what the future holds." As a result, with a election seemingly lookng towards a Freedom Party lean and flip, these two were rumored for candidacy.
By September, three major candidates dropped out. By then, Winslow established a small lead as a candidate willing to attack Kozlowski, as well as Jacoby to a smaller extent, for their different "strategies and solutions". However, these attacks were not considered a "threat" or "bad" with "good intent/intentions". Rene Lindner failed to sustain much of his previous frontrunner "status" support, but was still a consistent third-place poller, with narrow or not-narrow margins below Winslow.
Though often refusing to acknowledge a possible and her potential defeat in the primaries, she stated that "nevertheless, no matter what happens, groundwork has indeed been laid out for a future run, or whatnot. Runs?" With that, she confirmed that "she would not suspend/withdraw her campaign anytime soon, and was indeed intending on contesting the primaries." Some registered or supporters of other parties donated to her campaign to "allow the defeat of Kozlowski to occur", with a smaller portion going to Jacoby's campaign. They 'funded' opposition, is what Lindner told his supporters and others in an attempt to boost numbers fundraising and campaign overall / polls.etc.".
In November 2086, Kristan Dale stated that "we must not let certain candidates, politicans, or whatnot, simply rule. It is important to make your own decision, and not bias yours." Having consistenly received less than 1% in polling, she slowly turned it into 1%, finally becoming a major candidate thanks to many dropouts. By December 1, 2086, she was officially listed as a major candidate by all pollsters, making herself a candidate to choose from. She would go on to also qualify to receive ballot access, eliminating the need for a write-in campaign. She staated that her "no-experience" "come from no-where" campaign style, had indeed payed "off".

==== Contested primaries ====
For the first caucuses, 15% of the vote was required to be eligible for delegates. Both Dale and Jacoby missed out, with Jacoby having narrowly, despite a campaign focused on the caucus. Per the caucus rules, votes that went to a candidate that did not ultimately receive 15%, would not go to the remaining, but otherwise remain "up for grabs". Following the caucases, Dale announced that she would suspend her campaign and ended up endorsing Jacoby. Jacoby went on to hire her as a campaign spokesperson and campaign consultant. Jacoby pushed for those 17 delegates to be awarded to their campaign. Per polling, the turnout was "reportedly low" due to most voters objecting to wait in lines due to thinking that Kozlowski would "dominate anyways". Following the "less than par" result, Kozlowski urged all his supporters "to not waste another opportunity to really change the system." Following the result, longtime candidate Diedra Garmon announced she "would reenter the race, having some new campaign [strategies]." This move reportedly loosened Kozlowski's advantage and lead by 10 points.

 United Kingdom primaries 
These primaries had a "None" option available, which some "off-ballot" contendors advicated for. Despite Dale's withdrawal, she had done so following after the deadline, and as a result, her name remained on the ballot. As a result, she heavily campaigned on behalf of Jacoby to ensure no votes were to be wasted. Garmon's newly-reformed/entered campaign resulted in a surprise, shock victory, which resulted in Kozlowski being demoted to third place. Per allocation rules, candidates needed 15%, however, the votes for None would be allocated as long as 1 delegate could be eligible. As such, all candidates qualified the delegate threshold. Additionally, Kristan Dales "withdrawn" 0.36% would be effectively applied to None.. However, these votes ultimately did not change the result, with no delegates remaining at 13. Despite being labelled as a "winner", Winslow stated it was "not practical" to say such, with delegate-wise, being two winners, one being herself and her campaign. Following the primary, 231 delegates had been voted on, with from these, 30 being "open".

 Poland primaries 
Due to the nature of the primaries, it remained mostly uncontested by the other candidates. Additionally, with early deadlines for the primaries, new candidate Garmon had missed out on the filing deadline. This was seen especially unusual, considering Garmon had momentum going as the previous primary winner. Garmon stated, "I don't think I'm missing it on too much - atleast, I hope." The Poland primaries, also notes, that any candidate that does not receive 15%, would have delegates redistributed to the popular vote winner and leader, also favoring Kozlowski. However, with just three candidates and options, this was considered "rather unlikely'". Kozlowski ended up receiving 81% delegates in an upset, with Winslow having narrowly lost out on receiving delegates, which would have been at least 9. This was noted due to Winslow's more aggressive strategy against Kozlowski, compared to Jacoby's,less.

France primary
Former candidate, French newscaster Kelsie Ouellette had failed to remove herself out of the ballot following her withdrawal from the race, and as a result, remained an option for primary-goers. Additionally, Dale remained an option, but did not campaign heavily there, nor in favor of Jacoby. However, Garmon did manage to apply to the filing deadline registrar on time, appearing on the ballot for the high-stake delegate primary. Despite having withdrawn from the race, Ouellette had promoted herself and her 'french' campaign on newscasting, and was prominently reported on aobout on French media. This led to confusion on natoionalwide reports. (From other countries). Originally, 173 primary delegates were in stake, but following reallocation, they were removed. After appealing this decision, France was regiven its 173 delegates at stake - notably, the most out of any primary. Unlike other primaries, as Ouellette noted, "every vote" mattered, and that any candidate eligible for 1 delegate, would receive it. France would be one of the only left to use this system. As a result, withdrawn candidate Kristan Dale received 2 delegates.
Notably, with Winslow suffering a surprisingly low performance in a crutial primary state, odds for her campaign went "crashing down" following two poor performances in Poland and France, though at least gaining delegates in France. Despite Winslow having consistly performed as the "sole, main" runner-up and Kozlowski contender, she began "to trail" lesser-known Jacoby. Winslow, however, told her supporters that "there were a lot of primaries to go" and that support was urged. Ouellette's french campaign resulted in 42 delegates, but she stated that "[she] was not interested in contesting any other primaries"./

With Kristan Dale receiving 2 delegates, her delegates and herself confirmed that they would instead vote for Jacoby. With and when Ouellette had been asked about her 42 French delegates, she stated that "if and when a contested election conbvention, we'll see. But for now, you'll have to wait." Ouellette was criticized for "not allowing the [French] voters themselves decide who they'd prefer, rather than having herself decide what to do with the delegates." Ouellette then stated it was "an experiment, to test her performance in France, and promised to transperantly give her delegates out."
The French primary was confirmed to be the final to include withdrawn candidate Kristan Dale, who would no longer be contesting any primaries outside of the Jacoby campaign. French-only candidate Ouellette was also confirmed to be not allocated in any other primaries or caucuses.

Russia primary
The primary was considered a "non-starter" and was typically against establishment politicians, and voted typically for a candidate that did not win the nomination, with some exceptions. In the past, some Russian politicans had contested the primary, however none filed for the ballot for the 2087 primaries. All candidates with 10% votes were qualified to receive delegates. Any under would uniquely be transferred to the primary winner. However, Freedom Russia confirmed prior to the ballot that they had filed paperwork following the 2085 election to increase the threshold to 15%, to "level the plyaing field".
This rule controversially resulted in both Garmon and Jacoby missing out on receiving delegates, but was especially seen "as a miss" for anti-establishment candidate Jacoby, who would allow Winslow to move "far past her". Additionally, Garmon's "establishment" status would be further dismissed by a growing Kozlowski majority minority lead. Garmon stated she "would fight on" and that Russia primary results differiantated from others. Following the primary, Winslow stated "game on". Although she had been expected to "easily win", Jacoby had been projected and expected to qualify for the threshold, but failed to do so albeit. Odds abruptly increased for Winslow, and decreased heavily for Garmon/Jacoby (already low).

San Marino caucus
Candidates required at least 15% to eligible for delegate allocation, otherwise these delegates would become uncommitted. Mertie Winslow, despite receiving 15.28% of the total vote, was eligible for 0 delegates due to the fact of only 3 delegates being at stake. Nevertheless, the caucus would have little effect in the race, considering other states having much more delegates at stake - however, in case of an "extremely close race", the San Marino caucus could be the one that puts one candidate in the edge over. However, with Kozlowski's lead slowly gaining, this was unlikely. However, the dropout of potential candidate(s) and reallocation of delegates could tip the election primaries over.

Turkey primary
15% is required to receive delegates, with candidates receiving less than being instead given to the primary winner. Despite Winslow's over-5=-point lead to Kozlowski, and her 16-point delegate lead, the victory was seen as an upset to Winslow, as she had been considered to win the primary by a landslide, but failed to even secure 2/3 of the vote, let alone a majority, just receiving a temporary plurality.

Spain primary
At least 10% is required to receive delegates, otherwise which would be redistributed to the primary winner. Following Kozlowski's landslide win, which was the most any candidate ever received in the primary season, Kozlowski's odds shot up higher than before despite already high enough. However, he was still 'a bit far' from being named presumptive nominee.
Following this primary, Carley Jacoby managed to re-surpass/surpass Diedra Garmon for the first time since the Poland primary, with Garmon's UK victory remaining her only ever since. As well, she received 0 delegates from the past three, especially high-delegate royalty worth Turkey and Spain. As a result, Garmon acknowledged there "was no path forward for her to virtually win the Freedom Party primaries, without an "unlikely" delegate transfer." As a result, she suspended her campaign, noting that "there is no point, at this stage, to use up and waste funds given by my [precious] donors. That is why I will no longer continue active campaigning,and am announcing the unfortunate end of our campaign. Thank you to everyone who made the initial campaign, and reenter possible. We are not done here, not ever." Reportedly, Garmon met with Kozlowski campaign advisors following the announcement, regarding the possibility of a position in a Kozlowski potential administration. Garmon announced the next week that she would be transfering her delegates to Kozlowski's campaign, giving him 539 delegates, 57% of the total. Garmon had also been rumored to be considering a Carley Jacoby boost, but ultimately "decided against it".

Later, 17 uncommited pledged to Kozlowski, while 13 to Jacoby. Controversially, 0 to Winslow. Ouellette later threw her support on Kozlowski, stating that "we must stay united, and Kozlowski is one who can surely do that."

With the newly-given delegates from uncommitted and Oulette,K ozlowski was named presumptive nominee. Following this, he confirmed that he would accept the nomination again at the convention. When asked about VP picks, Kozlowski stated that "people must or shall wait and see." Devina O'Neil stated she wouldn't stand as a MP in the 2087 election and retire from the Senate, "but not for a potential VP position". Eula Ruiz stated that, "while a VP position wouldn't be bad, I'd kindly deny that role." On the other hand, Diedra Garmon noted and stated that "she would not be considered for a VP position." Von Major was noted as a potential pick, but he "refused to respond to those requests when asked in media."
In a twist, Kozlowski announced on March 15, 2087, that he had chosen Laura Dunham as his running mate. She's the elder daughter of 3rd CCU President Elden Dunham, who served from 2019 to 2027 and came back for a short stint from 2060 to 2063. To date, he remains the oldest person to serve as President of the CCU. However, some noted the Freedom Party's deal with PPC which also "reportedly" meant choosing a Progressive Vice President running mate. Kozlowski stated that "Dunham's easy landslide victory election in 2085, as a member of the Senate, had proven she had the credentials to be a leader."

=== General ===
This was considered a "close election, leaning towards Holder and Kozlowski." However, this was later corrected to "definitely Holder or Kozlowski, with [Bedford] serving as a spoiler [helping] Kozlowski." This also marked the first time a major candidate had a Vice President running mate from a different political party. Laura Dunham identified herself as part of the For the People Party faction of the Progressive Party.
Germany narrowly voted for Incumbent Reform President Jani Holder, his home state. Kozlowski nearly won Germany, especially thanks to Bedford's campaign, but came closely short to do such.

== 2089 mid-term election ==
Due to the nature of the election system, Kozlowski's Freedom Party was expected to decline in overall seats. Kozlowski stated he "wasn't afraid, and trusted the system, and the people, who make it genuine and a fairly democracy."
=== Contesting parties ===
The Communist Party and Justice Party both announced that they would once again campaign together, in an effort "to unite the far-left." Although the Communist Party was wide open with "far-left support", the Justice Party attempted/attempts to sway voters which usually are not appealed to far-left parties. Together, they hold a "moderate far-left" stance, to "sway voters from both sides of the aisle."
With growing participation fees, Erick Walters, leader of the Just Party, stated that "[he] could disband the party." However, he later clarified that it was a criticism of the election proccess, and not about the stance of his party, confirming that the party had already filed to appear in ballots.
The Nos intérêts Party announced that it would partake in a new union of French political parties, some making their election debut, participating together as the Union française Party. Previous Nos intérêts leader was as a result ousted, in favour of Elodie Delaplace. Libertarian Party leader Burton Creighton easily won reelection, thanks to his record feat of allowing the party to enter the Senate for the first time ever, and in fact, with 4 seats instead of 3. The minimum.(). The previous new Communist/Justice leaders were also easily reelected. For the same reason. Fokin, allowing Global Interests, a comeback, also narrowly won reelection, despite giving 8 seats to the party. Some noted, that he was "moderate" for the party, and as a result, others were more intrigued at him and his policies, due to not being "radical", however party officials and voters were critical of him and this, but he still narrowly became the nominee/party leader. On the other hand, "popular" Moderate Party leader Toney Milne was defeated, allowing Madlyn Snipes to represent the party and its "100%" moderate policies for "everything". Speaker of the CCU and the Senate, Marina McMahon, remained party leader while serving her position, which "made her, and the Progressive Party, more relevant coming in to this election."
On the other hand, the most drastic change, Jani Holder confirmed that he would resign as parliamentary party leader. This would mark the first time ever that neither Mercado or Holder would lead the Reform Party. Several candidates participated in primaries, such as Carmine Sinclair, Kandice Pennington, Ricarda Gould, Yuonne Rhoads as well as more. However, with the primaries not finishing in time for the election, Acting Leader of the Reform Party, Estell Lyman, apointed by Holder, would represent the party in the election. Mattox remained leader of Bloc Rusie. Parish also remained leader of Elimini. Post of Peoples. On the other hand, the Our Union Party announced that they would opt out of the election, instead endorsing the "establishment right-wing parties". Starr remained leader of NAA. Walters of Just. Vårt förtroende also withdrew due to lack of support. Incumbent Blackout Party leader Stan Harp lost reelection, by a staggering 67-68%. His final count saw him at second place with 31.68%, in the second round. He finished second in the first round with just 19.87%. Clarence Ortiz succeeded him as leader of Blackout Party. Once he won, he withdrew the party and endorsed the Just Party. It was considered a "controversial move". As well, no new parties managed to file by the deadline, with some missing qualifications and requirements, ultimately being declined in applications from their filing.
Only 14,612,131 voted, a "marginal, not, big, decrease".

With Speakers serving 8 years terms, McMahon retained her position as Speaker.
Following the election, the Freedom Party and Progressive Party both entered a pact together. Even, with all centre-to-left parties, they would only make up 64% support. As a result, and as such, the Freedom Party failed to receive 66% support, which had last done such so in 2039 with President Toi Koehler, who received support from 24 For the People delegate Senators. However, Kozlowski was expected to "win big" in 2091.
== 2091 election ==
=== Prior cabinet ===
Prior to the election, Kozlowski had finally passed legislation to introduce a new Cabinet member, being the Secretary of Technology. Upon being elected in 2087, he only had 59% control over the Senate, with most Reform Party and Union Party Senators 'hesitant to give another 'establishment Freedom politican' another spot in the government'. While all 68 Reform Senators voted yea, only 7 Reform Senators voted yea, with 0 Union Senators voting yea. With 75 Senators just voting yea, he only had 65% support, ultimately short of 3 Senators to pass law. Despite negotiations between the Freedom Party and Reform Party, they fell short with Kozlowski "unwilling to pass partisan [Reform] legislation, benfiting themselves." Kozlowski stated, "Unfortunately, partisanship means, we will need to wait a bit longer, in order to better the government for us." Following the 2089 election, Kozlowski stalled a vote, ultimately due to the Communist and Justice Party's demands for more "socialism, at the very least, for our government." All 42 Freedom Senators had already indicated their support for the law, as well as 18 of 19 Progressive Senators. Some Moderates stated that "it was concerning to introduce legislation that could be divisive in some parts, so we must, at least, at the very least, guarantee that it would [truly benefit] the government." Ultimately, 4 of 7 Moderates indicated their support. On the other hand, all 3 Communist Senators stated that "they could not allow such at the time." Nevertheless, 2 of 3 Justice Senators supported the bill and law. In total, their support equaled just 57%. On the other hand, the Reform Party saw a loss of many Senators, especially"ones that worked more towards bipartisanship, considered a 'devestating loss for Kozlowski." Only 4 Reform Senators supported the law, now. This totalled to 60% support, 6% short. All 16 Union Senators "refused to support the bill." Additionally, the mass of the 6 Blood Senators stated that "they would not support such cabinet increasements, which would tax broadcasters more money." On the other hand, 1 Global Interests Senator stated that "they could support the bill, indeed, seeing it as a way to 'enhance advancements." With 71 Senators actively supporting the bill, they were still short of 7 Senators, being less close than last time, with 61% support. However, in an advancement, a Union Senator stated that '[he] has realized what the new cabinet position could do for the [Union]." This brought support up to 62%, making the bill 6 votes from being passed. Bedford subsequently condemned the Senator, and asked his supporters and likewise to vote for a primary challenger in 2091. No new support was seen for the bill in coming months. However, the remaining three Moderate Senators wrote a voicing their support for the cabinet position, stating that "after much consideration, they had [realized] this was truely an issue of bipartisanship, and that right-wing parties attempting to twist it into a partisan issue, were deeply [dividing]. They apologized for taking [long] to voice their support." This made the bill/law at 75 co-sponsors, and ultimately just 3 Senators away from legislation, at 65% support. This meant that the bill had already been at the same stage which it had been after the previous election. However, with some left-wing parties still objecting, their support "could twist it into legislation." Many Reform Senators argued that "it was an issue of election, and that [Kozlowski would need to win 2091, to gain their support]. Kozlowski stated that he actively campaigned on a technology department, and that if they had [obliged/weren't impressed], that they perhaps would have either not voted for himself, or voiced lack of support. Ultimately,polling indicated 59% support. However, this support slowly increased to 70%. Another Reform Senator finally, confirmed his support, noting that "he wasn't asked till now if he would support the bill, so he did not express it, despite always intending to vote for the bill." With 76 Senators now indicating support, the bill was just 2 Senators short at a rounded 66%. Despite increased pressure to support the bill, the 3 Communist and 1 Justice refused to do so, stating that "they should give us our demands." Kozlowski stated that "such a partisan request, would not be in the helm of his government." Eventually, a sixth Reform Senator confirmed his support. With now 77 Senators in favor, just 1 vote was necessary. Finally, by late 2090, a Union Senator broke ranks with his party and changed his afiliation to Independent. The next day, he voiced his support for "the wonderful bill." This made him the 78th Senator in favor, meaning that 66% 2/3 support had been found. Kozlowski scheduled the vote for the final session of 2090, in December 3, 2090. The vote passed 81-32. 3 Senators were also absent and such abstained from voting, as.
Kozlowski appointed Therese Sage as Technology Secretary, ultimately voted 95-17 in favor, with 4 absent. Kozlowski's Government also saw a record, for no resignations of any Cabinet member in a period of 3 years. 
Following Yang Earle's resignation, the first of any in his Cabinet, Kozlowski announced that former President Brinson would take on the role, while continuing as Secretary of Affairs. Kozlowski stated that as a former Vice President and President, it was the "logical choice". Additionally, as a "cross-choice", it avoided the need of a Cabinet Senate vote, especially before a presidential election. Some stated this could "be the beginning of the centralization of his platform, something he broadly campaigned against."

=== Freedom primaries ===
Kozlowski easily won reelection of the Freedom Party nomination, obtaining 91% of total votes. Other votes went to uncommitted, or small other minor candidates.
Following his expected primary(ies) victory, the media reported that the Vice President running mate could either come from his current cabinet, or otherwise, a non-party official in attempt to increase cross-party support.Nevertheless, Kozlowski stated that "the focus of the running mate, as usual, is someone qualified for that job and position. Which party they're from, or who they are, simply is not relevant in the decision making as long as their ideals align perfectly." Subsequently, Chief of Staff Damien Nadeau was rumored as the pick, with his Independent party status aligning "his statement." Nadeau responded, stating he was "focused on his position as Chief of Staff, wanting to do the best for the Union." Others suggested that his new statement could appease, with himself now attempting to please party officials with a potential appointment as Gil Brinson, again as a Vice Presidential running mate. Brinson denied such, stating that he "[was] finished with any elected office."
Others widely suggested that O'Neil would "finally return to the position she was set to win, being first further established as Secretary of State." In 2090, effectively January 13, 2090, O'Neil announced she would cease to be Secretary of State starting February 31, 2090, citing "the end of [her] participation in any cabinet, due to wanting to move on to other things." This was widely seen as a move to, either convince Kozlowski to have her as his pick, or, ensure she would vacate it for active campaigning, while to avoid conflict of interest and prevent execisive use of acting or interim secretaries during her campaigning absence. She refused to respond to comments regarding Vice Presidency.
Later, rumors ensued that two-time Freedom Party candidate for President Eula Ruiz would be selected as Kozlowski's running mate. Ruiz denied to comment on these rumors, and Kozlowski's administration and campaign staff stated that "all options were on the table". Yang Earle, Head Adviser to the President, announced his resignation effective immediately. He was considered "a potential dark horse pick for the Vice Presidency". Earle stated he "[wanted] to lay off any duties for the formidable future to be at home."
In a surprise announcement, Kozlowski finally announced his running mate as Speaker Marina McMahon, a former For the People candidate for President, a one-time opponent against Kozlowski himself and incumbent (1st) Speaker.
=== Union primaries ===
Nolan Bedford, the current leader of the Union Party, noted that "under my leadership, the party saw only gains, going from 0 seats to 8, with an unexpected total of 10% in our first "back" election. He proceeded to say, "We built on to that momentum. We saw a gain to 12 seats, in parliamentary return. That wasn't nothing. The next election "did nothing to lose our momentum, even despite if there was an evident [setback]," we beat all odds to receive an ammasing total of 13% of te vote. 2089 saw us gain 16 seats, [FINALLY] beat and defeat the status quo Reform Party, in an election for the first time since 2070. They did us a [lot of] damage, but, we finally managed to take them [off the map]. What does that set us up for in 2091? I don't know. That's up to you, and you only. Sure, some of it is in my hands. That, I will deal with. I do not want our gracious 16 Senators to lose their seat, not one of them. We shall see what happens." He later stated, "We, as a party, as a bloc, have a responsibility. We need to, and must, defeat any [communists] or whatever poision, that is currently affec yours, and our, Union."
Although in the past, he had less favorable ratings within the party, his "momentum" had seen him become more favorable within the party and party officials.
Bedford officially launched his renomination campaign on January 2, 2086, later than most pundits and analysts had expected. However, this was not seen as affecting his campaign negatively in any way, with pollsters suggesting that "a break from his campaigning, in the constant" had actually resulted in a boost, rather than loss.
Devon Raley, a 2063, 2083 and 2087 primary contender, confirmed that he would not contest the primaries. He respectively placed fifth, second and third in his contested primaries. Daren Alfaro, who had denied Raley an "instant victory, or, in the case of a primary runoff", denied his "primary corruption or messup" and stated he would not contest the primaries. The only other major primary contender Elke Devore, stated that she "was not interested in doing it again." Nevertheless, Julian Binham,a "little-known" businessman, announced his candidacy. Once small, his campaign "slightly grew". Val Bolin, a former senior policy advisor and aid to former party leader as well as former Senator Criston Pauley, announced a run for Union nomination. Venessa Wilde later also announced, stating that "the party must do better to integrate, and attract more neutral, and centrists, as well as Independents, which may not be possible with [Bedford]." Other candidates did not qualify for ballot access, and ultimately did not become a part of the official results, due to plurality/less than 1% rule. Renato Beaudoin (less), Ronny Timm (more), Cordell Schell (Lesser) and Donetta Dyer (least of these) were top candidates who did not qualify for the final ballot result. Others are not of public knowledge.

Following Bedford's primary victory, and primaries' victories/victory, Arie Heredia confirmed that she was not contacted regarding a running mate position. Bedford stated that a decision on his running mate would be decided in "due course", but noted that no one should "expect an announcement, or even decision" in the "near future", noting that he "would use his [entire] window, and an announcement could be made prior to the first ballot deadline."
Rumors of 2083 Union running mate Jarrett Nolen led Bedford to rest them, stating that "we are looking forward with the choice of the Union running-mate." Bedford finally announced Reform third-place finisher Arlo Quinn as his running mate. His wealth was considered the "combination for success".
=== Reform primaries ===
Having already stepped down following the outcome of the 2087 election, he confirmed that he would not seek renomination of the Reform Party, allowing another candidate (neither Mercado or Holder) to be the nominee for the first time [ever]. However, with these two seen as [kings] and [queens] (especially Mercado), the party was seen as largely leaderless, and "bound to fail in 2091". This comes after the party had already been defeated by Union Party to become a third party.
Interim Reform Party leader Estell Lyman announced that she would not seek the party's nomination, ruling herself out of contention. This made the primaries, "extremely open". However, a potential cabinet member from a Mercado or Holder government could "arise" and "close" the open-ness of the primary.
Julius Revak, a businessman with close ties to Holder, launched his campaign on November 13, 2089, becoming the first major Reform candidate.
Ayanna Geary, a top Reform Party pick for President, who lost to Freedom Party ally McMahon in speakership election, launched her on January 2, 2090. She stated that, "Our precious Union is in need of a proper, neonothing, government which governs with prosper. Our mistake was attempting to repeat what Mercado did, starting off with Holder, who while did great as a President, did not do enough to go back to our roots, and starting shifting more to the centre. We won't, will not, do that again. What, tell me, do we have to lose by being our true selves now?"
Interestingly, no Cabinet member of Mercado nor Holder announced or intended to do so. However, Geary served as Secretary of Defense from 2085 to 2087, until the position became defunct with the Kozlowski administration.
However, Iyana Ayers declared her candidacy for the Reform Party nomination on February 14, 2090. She was the Government Spokesperson as part of the Holder administration. Her surprise announcement followed with some small major and minor endorsements, though more major endorsements failed to qualify. She debuted at second place with 13% in a record level poll for Reform, for current primaries out of 3 polls. However, a new Express-CCU polling found her at single-digits with 9%, a newer record.
In a "shocking mind-blowing twist", Elroy Neville announced his candidacy on March 1, 2090. He, having been afiliated with the Freedom Party "for awhile", stated he "was ready to transform the right party, into the winning party." Many argued that his age was a factor which would "disadvantage" him, also dissing his "run". Despite his polling debut seeing a 3% result, he argued that he "could start a revolution within the party, which against Kozlowski, would be [especially] needed, and that a former-Freedom Party member like himself would be the perfect candidate against emerging 'communism-light/socialism.'" Notably, Neville's and Ayers' candidacies hurt Geary the most, losing un-loyal supporters who switched to these candidate. Though never having a significant result, Revak also saw their candidacies hurt any "momentum" he had. On the other hand, Ayers managed to maintain her supporters, some which saw this as a show of strength to her supporters' committment. However, others argued that Geary "had a good portion of committed supporters nevertheless".
The first debate required that each candidate receive at least 1% in 1 poll, which Neville missed out on the deadline, due to his late arrival. As a result, he was excluded from the first debate. Most pundits noted that having just four major candidates ahead of the first debate was "strange, and offputting", suggesting that the Reform Party insiders "were missing out on this election, and rather, focused on the next, Kozlowski-free election."
The first debate strengthened Geary's lead, and surprisingly helped Neville minorly due to being "left out", Ayers saw her candidacy weakened, while businessman Revak saw his polling improve.
With the top four candidates slowly seeing gains, though Ayers seeing a decline, the primary was considered "open race". A millionaire businessman, Arlo Quinn, announced his intention to file for candidacy on April 2, 2090. He stated that "the closeness of the race simply underlies the fact - that the race requires someone with wealth to win." Quinn officially launched his candidacy on April 3, with a $1m ad buy, targetted for Union-goers. His competition thus forward condemned the use of his wealth, stating that "Reform Party is above this."
For the second debate, all candidates save Arlo Quinn qualified, with Quinn having been 1 poll off from qualifying, as a result of his late race entrance. Four candidates made the third debate, all major candidates, including for the first time Quinn, who easily qualified with the polling threshold.
Elroy Neville narrowly missed out on qualifying for the fourth debate, which had Geary, Revak and Quinn qualified to the deba<!_-et-->te. With his polling numbers having already narrowly declined since the third debate, though increased somewhat to a more fair polling steady, his campaign could never build up on the momentum from the debut second debate entrance, and with his numbers lowering even more following the debate non-appearance, which some had assumed meant "dropped out", he officially suspended his campaign on April 15. On April 16, he launched his campaign for the Moderate Party nomination, which was the most major of the non-major parties, to contest the election. He stated, "Unfortunately, the Reform Party were not very accepting of some moderate stances which would have appealed to those voters sick of Freedom politics, as well as those not interested in seeing Bedford grow to power. Evidently, the party does not seem to want to do this, at least anymore, seeing their newfound interest for the rich, business, or status quo Reform, Geary. That is why I am launching my campaign to lead the Moderate Party, which has a real chance and opportunity to proclaim its dominance in the Union and shush away the right and left from the Union, for true centrism moderate-ness. He stated that, now, as a figure of both the Freedom and Reform Party(ies), he could build on the support he has gained from both, to allow the Moderate Party to become a "party that can damage the main competing parties."
Geary announced following her primary victory that she "would fight for election reform and such, in the general election." Following her Convention victoty, runner-up Julius Revak called on her to choose himself as VP, "to unite the wings of the Reform Party." Geary stated in her speech that she "would fairly choose her running mate". Odds, however, were not on Revak's favor.
==== Results ====
After being unable to appeal the Greek ballot exclusion, Quinn dropped out of the race and said he "refuses to endorse [anyone]". At this point, he had been at 11.5% with the popular vote and 10.9% with delegates; he had been excluded from 4 ballots, specifically France as the most devastating, with much "ballot registration errors and staff defrauding as a result causing." Quinn was automatically removed from remaining ballots he qualified for. (73%)

=== Progressive primaries ===
With the deal for the Progressive Party not to contest, to not contest the general election over, the party was legally allowed to contest the election. However, with an Incumbent leftist/left-wing President (/centrist) already leading the Union as an Incumbent won-already election, Progressive Party chances were seen as "next-to-nothing". Additionally, Laura Dunham's decision to not become a running mate, again, meant that the party lost its "top-status" representation in the government. However, despite this, Kozlowski stated that in the event of a reelection, he would indeed seek to "diversify" the administration cabinet. (In terms of parties). However, it was not certain what the party would do. Nevertheless, the PPC voted 39-27 to cancel all primaries.
=== General ===
=== Contesting parties ===
The PPC voted in favor of not having the Progressive Party contest the 2091 election, to avoid a resurgence of either the Union or Reform Party, keeping the Progressive-ally party Freedom in power, who also promised to add more Progressive representation to their government in case of a victory. Union française, which narrowly missed the cut-off in 2089, confirmed that they would remain a parliamentary-contesting party only, ultimately deciding not to contest the election. Bloc Rusie affirmed this, as well. People's, Eliminimi, Un domani migliore, all confirmed such as well. Citing lack of funds and donors, as well as supporters, the Blackout Party Council announced that they would not contest the election, citing damage coming from the controversial 2089 election exit. However, the Committee confirmed that they had "secured funds to constitute a return in a parliamentary-style election." By the ballot deadline, just 9 federal election parties had filed to participate and contest the election, considered "a new low". However, the No Allegiance Association managed to withdraw from the election after the filing deadline but before the dropout deadline, lowering the election a lower number of just 8 parties contesting. The NAA Council stated that "[They] had considered that a participation would be more damaging than not, to the cause, and would simply save funds for the parliamentary election, where they "could pull of a surprise" which would elevate the cause and party in future elections, including normal ones."
In time for the deadline, the Communist-Justice Party announced that they would fund a temporary election-contesting party, known as the Communist Alliance, or Communist Bloc. After internal voting in both respective parties, they agreed on calling the party Communist Bloc. They stated that it would "elevate the cause to greater heights, allowing a natural growth for the party instead single-digits-to-less. Previous party leaders Terese Bernstein & Delta Lindberg were both ousted in unified party voting, electing a new party leader Anette Haag. Despite the party seeing setbacks and not as powerful as before, incumbent party leader Florentiy Fokin handily won reelection and "promised to take back the party".
Danielson announced he would resign party leader, effective December 31, 2091, to allow the party to determine its second leader. As a sitting CCU Senator, however, Danielson stated that "[should] [he] maintain his seat in the Senate, he would remain in such, until expiration of new election."
Elroy Neville, a previous Freedom Party nomination contender and 2091 Reform ex-contender, managed to win the Moderate Party nomination with a plurality 47.93%, which he furthered to 63.22% in the second round.
Reform nominee Ayanna Geary announced Boyd Harris as her running mate. Harris had served as State Secretary in the first and last Jani Holder government cabinet. This announcement caused backlash from primary runner-up Julius Revak's supporters, who stated that they "disrespected all voters who wanted something different for Reform." Despite earlier demanding he be chosen as running mate, Revak stated that "the election was too big for us to be disappointed over one thing or another." Harris was considered to be part of the "progressive 'technocratic' Reform establishment wing".
With the Reform Party slowly going down in polls, less as a result of the running mate choice, and more as a result of a poor debate performance, both for herself and running mate, Geary faced calls from right-leaning members to drop out. However, Geary stated that "As the Reform nominee, I have the responsibility to ensure that the party has long-lasting impact, and as we as a party have very well known in the past, polls do not mean everything, or anything. I ask all Reform supporters, and right-leaning members, to not be afraid to vote for me, I am the choice who will fight for you." Subsequently, Senator Devon Raley, a former vice presidential nominee and three-time Union candidate, endorsed Bedford in a "power move", who having condemned Bedford in past elections and endorsed the Reform nominee over Union, stated "Bedford [is] ready to repair our Union, despite previous objections, he has gained the congressional and international experience to indeed lead our Union with dignity." Bedford thanked him, and stated that "Our party is reassembling, the damage is lessening." Former Union leader, Criston Pauley who is credited for the "Union reawakening" prior to the Reform era, who had remained neutral in past elections, stated "It's time to not be neutral, but aggressive. That's why I'm endorsing Senator Bedford for President. He would serve the Union Party like never before." Jarrett Hagen, who led the Union from 2055 to 2059, remained neutrality and stated he "moved on from matters involving the [Union]." President Vasquez reiterated Hagen's comments. These high-profile endorsements notably moved a "large chunk" of supporters who moved from Union to Reform, back to Union to allow the party to double Reform's numbers in recent polling. With just days from election, Geary stated that the "Reform Party is coming to take Kozlowski's governement and turn it to herself." Reform primaries runner-up, Senator Julius Revak, stated it was 'important not to lose the hard work Reform accomplished in the aftermath of defeating Union to winning the election, and that it was important not only for the current election, but future of the party, to make sure it would continue to win seats." With just 1 day till election, the party barely managed to maintain double digits in polling.

==== Results ====
In a stunning upset, Incumbent Freedom President Miquel Kozlowski lost reelection to three-time Union nominee Nolan Bedford, who defeated Kozlowski with his 288 electoral votes to Kozlowski's 255. However, Kozlowski won the most states, seats any popular vote, becoming the second candidate after Toi Koehler in 2035 to have such an occurrence. Some stated that this indicated that the once powerful Freedom Party, winning many consecutive elections, was "no longer the political power machine it used to be." Kozlowski conceded the election to Bedford the next day, stating "The members of our Union have spoke, and while it wasn't in a way that we had envisioned, we must respect their decision and peacefully transfer the government. I concede this election to President-elect [Bedford]." Bedford became the second Union nominee to win an election, and the first under the title Union, as opposed to Union Alliance. Bedford stated that he would "give a government envisioned by the people." He vowed to complete his agenda, stating that "no obstacles were too big now." Another upset was the first electoral votes awarded to the Blood Party, in the home state of party creator Milo Danielson, who served as its nominee since its creation in 2067. Having served for 24 years, he had been the longest-serving nominee. Following the retaining of his seat, Danielson stated that he would indeed, remain in Senate, in his more powerful position. Bedford appointed his daughter, Leah Danielson, who also served as his running mate, to the other Senate position. As such, all 5 previous Senators, lost their seat in the Senate. Leah was also tipped to lead the party following her father's retirement from CCU politics; she was the first family-related to serve as a running mate to nominee. 
Despite Bedford's victory, the Freedom Party held majority over the Senate with their 52% stake, compared to Union's 41% stake, Reform's 5%, and Blood's 2%.
The following day, Incumbent President Miquel Kozlowski announced his resignation from the Senate, stating that he "had let down the party, and it was [time] for someone to follow [his] reins." He subsequently resigned as leader of the Freedom Party, making Deputy Leader Rene Lindner the Acting Leader of the party. An election was subsequently called for Kozlowski's seat. Being in an election year, this meant per the Constitution that only parties which partook in the most recent election were qualified for the ballot. The Just Party withdrew its qualification status, citing "fund saving." Additionally, the Global Interests party failed to submit its ballot status in time, disqualifying the party from the ballot, failing appeals. Ayanna Geary also announced her resignation as leader of the party, making deputy leader Iyana Ayers the acting leader of the party. Ayers, who lost her Senate seat in the 2091 election despite 6 Reform Senators of higher seniority keeping, therefore announced a campaign, which she lost behind Communist. The low performances of the Reform Party, which just in 2079 took 87% of votes, was considered "historic." Ayers subsequently stepped down as acting leader, and having had not appointed anyone at that time, left the party leaderless. The RNC announced a Convention for May 1, 2091, in which a new leader would be chosen.
Bedford's election victory was considered an unprecedented moment in CCU politics, and marked their first victory in 44 years. Bedford stated that he would create the newly promised Supreme Union Court. Bedford stated it was a "long needed amendment, that would ensure that such 'big decisions' would not be passed without the Court's approval." The Court would consist of 12 'impartial' judges, all who were appointed by Bedford. With many blocked judges via Senate votes, Bedford settled for moderate judges, as well as centre-right. By the end of this process, 5 centre-right judges were sweared-in, and 7 moderate were also passed-in, making for a 58% moderate majority. The lack of any centre-left judges left other parties "disgusted". However, after the resignation of a moderate judge, Kozlowski appointed a centre-left judge in order to get votes for bills in the Senate. This left it at 42% centre-right, 8% centre-left and 50% moderate. Following a CCU decision, all 12 judges were let go. An supreme court election followed. 9 parties filed "non-partisan-ly" to the election. Any party below 15% were deemed ineligible for seats in the Court.

Following the aftermath of the election, Senator Eula Ruiz, who was once again reelected as a Freedom member, announced she would leave the party, making her the only Independent in the Senate. Besides President Kozlowski, she was considered the "most influential Freedom Party member". This left the Freedom Party with a working majority of 1 in the Senate.

=== Reform leadership election ===
Following her poor result in the vacant Senate seat election, Ivana Ayers resigned as acting leader, leaving the party leaderless for the first time in its history. As a result, the RNC called a Convention vote for May 1, 2091. Ayers confirmed she would not contest the election, stating she was "done with politics". Senator Ayanna Geary also confirmed she would not contest the election. As well, former acting leader Estell Lyman stated she "was not interested." Reform 2091 primary runner-up Julius Revak stated that he was not focusing on partisan politics at the time, and therefore "would not contest." This left the election "very open".
On April 3, 2091, incumbent Moderate Party leader and former 2091 Reform candidate Elroy Neville announced his candidacy, becoming the first major candidate to declare. This led to backlash from Moderate Party members, who stated that he "is flip-flopping positions, policies, and parties, for political gain." Neville stated that he was "doing best to represent his wishes in CCU." On April 10, 2091, Senator Jame Bunting announced his candidacy.
On April 11, 2091, Just Party leader Erick Walters announced his candidacy, who served as leader of the party since its creation in 2075. Walters stated that "to grow his ideals, he would like to take over a bigger party, from the inside out." Although he was initially considered a minor candidate, he grew to become a major. Former Senator Joshua Hanley announced his candidacy on April 13, stating that "we need to stand out from the Union Party." Allie Boyce entered the race on April 16, previously serving as a consultant to Senator Ayanna Geary. A former Independent candidate for Senate, Crissy Feeney, entered the race with no impact on April 17.
A write-in campaign for Julius Revak was initiated to encourage him to enter in the race, which started on April 20. Since then, polling for "Other" increased by 10%. Former Senator and candidate for Speakership Heike Currier announced her candidacy on April 21, growing a grassroots base prior to the Convention. A perennial candidate for the Senate, Merrie Withers announced her candidacy on deadline day, April 25. She had previously done her best in the 2091 Senate election, earning 11% of the vote in a year where just 6 Reform Senators retained their seat. However, her impact was not considered "heavy". That day, Revak acknowledged the write-in campaign, telling his supporters to "not waste [their] votes." The RNC confirmed on April 26 that all eight candidates had been validated and would appear on the convention ballot on May 1. However, both Walters and Withers would not appear in the debate, due to "failing to poll 5% in any polls." Walters criticized the RNC following the move, stating that the party "was against candidates starting a [movement]," noting that a debate helps these candidates grow. On April 30, Neville dropped out of the race and endorsed Bunting, stating that he "could not do what [he] wanted to do." However, the same day, Bunting rejected his endorsement, stating that he "was appalled that [other parties] could infiltrate a party's selection process," and called for Neville to get back to his own party affairs, which he stated were "also damaged." The move increased Bunting's fallibility, but Neville later rescinded his endorsement and stated that "Bunting was attempting to restore the support he lost after more candidates entered the race, showing that he was not a popular first choice option, but a [placeholder]." Neville refused to endorse any other candidates following his dropout.

== 2093 election ==
The 2093 election is the third quarterly-held parliamentary elections, which typically attract more competing parties. The particular election holds significant importance as it will elect the second term of the Speakership office, which are only elected every eight years, unless the incumbent Speaker resigns.
The Eliminimi Party was completely defunded and deregistered as a party. Delaplace was re-elected as party leader. Notably, Neville was defeated by Moderate Party loyalist Val Haggard, and narrowly lost to Kristal Baer in a re-call election. Bloc Rusie announced that it would not contest the election. Despite calls from party insiders to step aside, Creighton was re-elected leader by 52.1%, heavily decreasing his support in an election. The People's Party stated that "this election did not need it's presence" and subsequently endorsed the Union Party.
A total of 16,329,014 voted, a record for a mid-term election, which was reasoned as a result of Bedford's election against popular incumbent President Kozlowski. McMahon confirmed her intent to be re-elected as Union Speaker, a position she held for eight years.

The Communist Bloc warned that, if the opposition bloc would elect Marina McMahon as their nominee, that they would be split in their choice, despite McMahon fitting their ideals more than Raley. Nevertheless, McMahon was selected as the Progressive nominee. 7 Communist Bloc Senators voted for McMahon, whilst 3 defective Senators voted for Raley.
Following her election loss, McMahon conceded the election to Raley. However, the result of the election led the Communist Party to strongly dip in favorablity ratings, and resulted in party leader Annette Haag removing the 3 Senators who voted for Raley, from the caucus. Following their caucus suspension, the three Senators changed their affiliation to Independent Communist.

Speaker-elect Raley, will be doing great things for our Union!" Following her loss, McMahon was suggested as a presidential candidate in 2095.

=== Communist Bloc primaries ===
In the aftermath of Devon Raley being elected Speaker of the Union, Communist Bloc leader Annette Haag was criticized for "not doing enough [sic] to prevent these three Senators from voting for [Raley]."aa Haag stated that, "While I understand those who were disappointed, I had warned about removing them from the caucus, and I did do this, in fact. We are a left-wing party, and as the people elect our Senators, it is not our fault to take the blame for our Senators' actions."a
Former Communist leader and former Senator Terese Bernstein announced her campaign against Haag, stating that "we need a true Communist leader in our party, not one in a Commie-mask."a Communist-affiliated journalist Felicitas Waller also announced her campaign. Another former Senator, Domenic Seals, announced his campaign.
Former Justice leader Delta Lindberg endorsed Annette Haag, pushing against some Justice-bloc party members vying to split in case of primary victory for Haag, stating that "she has brought our party to new highs, and as such, I endorse her whole-heartedly."a Haag narrowly won the first round, receiving 50.3% of the vote, avoiding the need for a run-off vote.a Nevertheless, polls showed that Haag had a big advantage over Bernstein in a run-off vote, as opposed to Seals.a

Incumbent Blood leader Leah Danielson was nominated for her party's ticket, receiving 89.32% of the vote.a Moderate leader Kristal Baer did not face opposition from former party leader Elroy Neville,a but Val Hagard confirmed a campaign against her.a Having narrowly defeated Haggard in 2093, Baer lost to Haggard with her 49.37%, to Haggard's 50.63%.a Baer shortly endorsed her.a With the Global Interests party failing to receive a single seat for the first times since its inception, in a Senatorial election, the Global Union bloc announced a split from the Rossiya bloc.aaa The two parties merged in 2068, 27 years ago, ahead of the return to normal elections.a The Rossiya Party stated that it did not intend to compete in the 2095 election, having just refiled to be a party.a Additionally, the Global Union stated that "while a campaign in 2095 wouldn't be a bad idea, we are not prepared for an election."a Additionally, Erick Walters, leader of Just, stated that "funds were not available for 2095."a

With a number of states being too close to call, McMahon stated she "would not concede the race" amid calls from Union supporters to do so.a However, the following day, in the morning of March 18, McMahon conceded the race to Bedford, stating "This election had huge stakes, I've been fighting for this moment. This outcome is not what we wanted, and I want you all to know, I will never stop fighting for you. It is vital for our Union that we are democratic, and never accept any kind of form of gerrymandering, and that is why today I am calling for a recount in the few states that decided the fate of our election."a However, McMahon's speech was not considered a "full-on concession," noting that she did request a recount.aa The recounts concluded by April 2, and they remained consistent with the first report of the results.aa McMahon had already conceded the election on March 23, following reports that the "recounts were [mostly] shifting further in Bedford's direction."aaa Additionally, McMahon announced her intention to step down as leader of the party, stating that she wanted "to pave the way for another [generation] of Progressives."a

With the Freedom Party having not contested an election for the first time ever since its founding, all 19 Senators lost their seat in the Senate.aa However, top Freedom officials remained on the Senate ticket as Progressives, with many retaining their seats under the Progressive title.a However, a notable loss came for party leader Rene Lindner, who failed to win the Progressive primary, and therefore lost his seat in the Senate as party leader of Freedom, putting the party in "crisis-mode".a Lindner announced his intention to remain as party leader until the election of a new leader.a
==== Speaker election ====
Although Raley was not required to resign as Speaker of the Union, he did so.a This as a result triggered a Speaker election, to take place end of the month as customary.a However, as the new Senate had not been sworn in at that time, it meant the incumbent Senate would do so,aa which Progressives stated was "unethical."a
As such, the top three parties were qualified, including Union, Progressive and Freedom Party.a However, both parties declined to nominate a candidate, and therefore, an "Uncommitted" vote was automatically triggered.aaa Healey won with 65 electoral votes, a record, as a result of Freedom Senators who also switched party lines.a Following Healey's election, the Freedom Senators changed their party affiliation back to Freedom.aaa An additional Freedom Senator also widely announced their change to the Union Party, having also voted often with the party, the most out of any other Senators in the party.a This put the Union Party at 48% minority, still allowing the opposition to control the Senate with their 52% control. Bedford subsequently praised the Senator, stating that "[he] was always ready for him to flip to the good [sic] side."a

The Rossiya Party failed to file paperwork by deadline, missing the ballot.a In a "major return", former Secretary of State Devina O'Neil announced her return to CCU politics with the return of the Independence Party, which she said "she would serve leader of". Un domani miglioare announced its withdrawal from the election.a The Libertarian Party elected Rachel Trejada as their new leader, a prominent Libertarian.a The Global Union Party elected Jacelyn Millard, who became the party's first leader since being revived in decades. The National Union Association was created, becoming the first new party inawhile, also being leaderless, with many different semi-known associates being their "own leader" of the party. They polled as high as 5%.
A total of 17,001,238 voted, a decrease in turnout from previous elections.a Higdon blamed the low turnout for the "massive Union victory."a

Union's parliamentary victory marks the biggest seat-win in history, but not percentage-wise.a Union held 45% of all seats, and could also have another Union seat in case of tie-breaker. With supporting parties, it held 55% power of the Senate, not allowing the administration to have bigger access for 2/3 support mandates. Rarely, Independence Party supported some elements, but a very limited number of the party.a Two Independence Party Senators later pledged "more allegiance" to Union Party, noting that "they agree less with [Higdon]."a This put the government at 57% support.a

==== Impeachment ====
Months following Bedford's second inauguration, Freedom leader Rene Lindner called for the impeachment of Nolan Bedford, stating that "knowing that he cannot be elected again nor be taken out of office anytime [soon], [Bedford] has conducted illegal CCU activities while in office."aaa All 7 other Freedom Senators confirmed afterwards that they agreed with his statement, which only put impeachment at 7% support.a Two other Progressive Senators endorsed the impeachment afterwards in a co-statement.a Bedford vehemently condemned the "forces interested in a left-only Union", stating that such a move has not happened ever before in the Union.aa In response to the statement, acting Progressive leader Janine Higdon stated that "while we do not endorse the efforts to [impeach] Bedford, we are not against them, given our Party's commitment to true democracy."a Higdon's statement led a wave of 7 Progressives to additionally endorse Bedford's impeachment, specifically mentioning his "conduct as president as unlawful to CCU constitution".a With impeachment efforts quickly rising and already at 14%, Bedford stated that he would create a new position in the Union government, known as the Secretary of Ethics.a This led to wide approval from the Union Party, as well as growing support from Reform voters, who stated that "he has brought elements back from the Mercado government."a Despite Bedford's statement, a number of Senators announced a special broadcast the next day, in which 23 Progressive Senators announced their "support of impeachment", specifically stating that the new position "could not be [ethical] without outside government inspection and analysts to oversee his government actions."aaa This marked 60% of Progressives elected, as well as 100% of Freedom, but just 34% of the entire Senate.aaa
The first conducted poll on the matter showed 63% opposing his impeachment, to 20% supporting.a However, as more Senators started supporting, more supported.a A Today poll, the first outside Express, showed 31% support towards impeachment, to 57% against, the largest to date for impeachment.a A separate poll showed 3% support for Bedford's impeachment from within Union, 7% from Reform, 47% from Progressive and 45% from Freedom.a Independent voters, on the other hand, had just 34% supporting impeachment.a
Nevertheless, impeachment would never be successful, simply due to Speaker Healey being strongly against it.a Even if a majority was formed against President Bedford in the Senate, this would be unable to proceed due to this.a Nevertheless, numerous Progressives have completely ruled out supporting this.a Bedford campaigned for the 2097 election, stating that the "radicals are attempting to impeach me, despite not doing anything wrong."a A shift towards Bedford also was evident, before or after attempts to impeach.a However, the impeachment only made the wave "more evident."a
A poll conducted in February 2096 saw the lowest opposition to impeachment since polling began.aa In response, 5 Progressive Senators announced live their intention to support impeachment, raising the total to 45 Senators, marking 38% support for impeachment.a The largest post to date, saw another low for Union with just 52% opposing impeachment, though did not peak in support, which was up to 35% in August.a Insiders noted that with only 52% opposing impeachment one year prior to the mid-term elections, it "was not a good look for [Bedford]."aaa However, when some polling outlets asked "undecided" voters about which side of impeachment they would lean to, 57% respondents leaned against impeachment, whilst 43% for.a
