This would be the first presidential election to have seven or more candidates since 2020.
==Electoral System ==
The President of Adoria is directly elected using a two-round system for a four-week term, with a two term consecutivity limit.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Adorian Constitution, the president must be elected by an absolute majority of valid votes. If no candidate succeeds in passing this threshold in the first round, a second round of voting is held with the two candidates who received the largest shares of the vote. If the runoff ties than the President elected by the National Assembly.
In order to be registered to contest the election, a candidate must be an Adorian citizen for at least 3 weeks, and have collected at least 10 voters' signatures by themselves, formal consent from a running mate, and be between 30 to 70 years old. Additionally presidential candidates are privileged with legal immunity across the election period.
==Nominations==
President Earthly from the very start would be determined to be a 2-term president and would for many weeks hold concurrence with King Adoria on continuing their ticket for a 2nd term. Earthly was now independent as he had been required to resign as APM leader in order to assume the Presidency. Despite this he would still be able to gain the APM endorsement as he was still the de facto leader over the party executing strong influence on their decisions. Additionally the KAB, CSM, and ALRP would also endorse Earthly/KA. The ACI would not endorse any ticket but would lean towards Earthly/KA due too how far left Bossman was and a promise to be included in the 101st government by the APM.

On the other side SDP deputy leader Bossman would decide to run for his first time ever. He would at one point consider a Bossman/Matthew V ticket where they would swap positions mid-presidency but in the end he would choose PP Co-leader Marcel to be his VP. The agreement was made out of irony due to historically being on opposing sides in 2021. Marcel imagined the horseshoe ticket to be as part of the 100th term celebrations. The ticket would not be received well by Earthly who viewed it as a strong betrayal of the Right and lead the Right in opposing the move by PP by promising the APM would not coalition with the PP in any upcoming 101st government as a consequence. The Bossman/Marcel ticket would be endorsed by the SDP and PP.
Additional tickets would be astroturfed by the KAB in order to split the vote from Bossman. King Adoria would go to great lengths to help Dekks/MarcZucc get their signatures who both casually agreed to run at his suggestion. Dekks would run on an executive restraint platform similar to Carlos Montiel last election. Dekks would oppose the expansive powers the President was allotted and promised not to use them liberally if elected. Slim Pickens who was already interested in running would see his ticket made a reality with the support of kabbers. This Pickens/Morgoth ticket would be a near-meme ticket but would advocate for populistic realpolitik. Morgoth (also known as Rhulk) at this time was now called Fidel Castro. Lucius Vorenus who was a PP member who opposed PP's collaboration with SDP, would decide to run himself with the encouragement of KA. He would have Roonald as his running mate but would switch to Ponderix after Roonald changed his mind. LastCelebration and PukeicidalManiac would agree to form a LC-Maniac ticket but would fail to gather any signatures.
Additional campaigns would begin to grow with a Shuzi/Bruq ticket forming as a pure meme ticket. Carlos Montiel and LemonnLemonn should not be confused with former president Lemon who is a distinct individual. would decide to have a last minute run declaring a Nuggetite Presidential Movement claiming to be running in support of having Mr. Nugget one day run for President. Mr. Nugget would encourage the memesters to vote for Earthly/KA. With a total of 7 candidates this would be the most candidates running since 2020.
At the time of election, Bossman had sent 1,825 messages (#12) in the last 30 days, while Shuzi had 1,474 (#14), Montiel had 1,366 (#16), Lucius Vorenus had 1,075 (#20), Earthly had 1,019 (#24), Slim Pickens had 901 (#30), and Dekks had sent 57 messages (#74).
==Results==
The 45th presidential election would begin on June 11th 2023, concurrent with the 101st general election. The next day after an 8-minute wait, it would be confirmed Earthly/KA and Bossman/Marcel would be proceeding to a runoff.
For the runoff, KAB and ALRP would refresh their endorsements for Earthly as they did not properly endorse him the first time. All other party endorsements would remain the same. Shuzi and Lucius Vorenus would endorse Earthly for the runoff while Slim Pickens endorsed Bossman. Montiel and Dekks did not endorse anyone. On June 13th 2023, the runoff would begin and conclude the next day. After 53 hours, results would be released on June 17th 2023. An upset victory would occur as many had expected a narrow Earthly/KA victory. This would be the first time in over 2 years since the 21st presidential election that the frontrunner of the 1st round lost the runoff. Earthly would join Valeryon and Lady Alice in being the 3rd person to be runner up 3 times. KA would be the first person to be VP runner up 3 times. After over 2 years Marcel's return to the Vice Presidency would be the longest VP comeback ever. This is the only time ever that a candidate got a lower percentage in a runoff.
