1999 Jonathian general election

The 1999 Jonathian general election was the 31st biennial general election, held on Tuesday, January 5, 1999. Robert Alexander of the Republicans was once again victorious, defeating Leyla Wilson of the Liberals. This was the last Jonathian election to be held in the 20th century.
The election was held amidst the collapse of the government which had been elected in the previous election - a coalition between the Republicans, Liberals, and Nationals, which was solely created to prevent the JFP and their candidate Josif Klanton from gaining a second term in office. Six days prior to Robert Alexander's inauguration, Klanton would be subject to an impeachment trial that concluded after his term as prime minister ended. The trial resulted with parliament voting to find Josif Klanton guilty of corruption. There were many factors leading to the collapse of the coalition, with many pointing to the Provincial Richts Act as the final straw for both the Liberals and Nationals, who left the coalition on 31 August 1998 and 12 September 1998, respectively. Despite this, polling numbers for Robert Alexander remained high.
In the 1999 election, the Republicans made slight gains and inched over the 60 seat count needed for a majority, ending election night with 68 seats in total. The Liberals ended with 40 seats, down two, and became the official opposition. This election would mark a major turning point in Jonathian politics, where between 1999 and 2021, the Liberals and Republicans would flip-flop between government and opposition, effectively turning Jonathia's governments into a two-party system for a considerable amount of time.
