A snap general election was held in Kanashima on Saturday 23 August 2015 to elect the 85 members of the 26th Parliament of Kanashima. They in turn elect the Prime Minister of Kanashima.
The incumbent minority People's Action Party government heavily defeated by the opposition Liberal Democratic Party. It was the worst defeat suffered by a governing party in Kanashiman history. The LDP was thus returned to government and its historical levels of parliamentary dominance, winning more than 80 percent of the seats.
