Alverian Presidential Election, April 2021

The April 2021 Alverian presidential election was the 8th Presidential election, and took place on April 2nd, 2021. Incumbent President Boomdodger declined to run for a third term and ran for Senate in District 2. 
After an exceptionally intense campaign, former President and incumbent District 2 Senator Beech93 defeated Secretary of Justice and 2-time Ba'ath Presidential nominee SwissMercenary3 and former Senator Kalumny in a landslide, winning a majority of votes in all Districts. This was the last time the winning candidate won more than 60% of the vote in a Presidential election until September 2021.

Beech93, a popular former President, was considered the odds-on favorite by most to win the election. On election night, Beech93 easily won the election, sweeping every district. This was the second consecutive election and the last in which the National Alliance carried every single district at the Presidential level. 
Beech93 also won the newly created 5th District in an upset as Kalumny and SwissMercenary3 split the vote. The district was expected to be a reliable stronghold for the Ba'ath Party. This was the first and only election until July 2021 where National Alliance candidate had won in District 5, and the most recent election in which the winning candidate carried every single district.
