2023 Mastalian general election

The 2023 Mastalian general election was held on Saturday, 26 August 2023, to elect the members of parliament of the Kingdom of Mastalia. All 350 seats in Her Majesty's Parliament were up for election.
The government formed after the June 2019 election consisted of a continuation of the PDM-led minority coalition government. However, the government's tenure was quickly overshadowed by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, along with its political and economic consequences. These consequences included the severe global recession resulting from the extensive lockdown measures implemented to curb the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. PDM leader and incumbent prime minister Ernest Bernabeu was seeking a fourth term in office.
By Mastalian law, the latest date that the election could happen was, per the Constitution of Mastalia, at least four years and two months after the previous election. Before the election, the PDM had been somewhat ahead in polling, though only just; the Left Alliance and APAM had both come close to overtaking PDM in the polls at various points.
The results led to a hung parliament, with no party or coalition gaining a majority in the parliament. This led to further coalition talks. On August 31st, a new coalition was announced, led by the PDM and supported by APAM, PL, LVDP, Mastalia 2050, PR, and PDC.
