Jeanette Andrea MacAlasdair will lead the Chawosaurian Communist Party in this election; if she wins, not only she will become Prime Minister of the Empire of Chawosauria, but she will also be the first woman in history to win a Chawosaurian parliamentary election. It is unclear who will lead the Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party, intially, it was likely gonna be Johnathan Saint Nicholas Montgomery VII, which would have mark his third parliamentary election, alongside 2017 and 2024, that he has led a party, but on January 26, 2024, on his 34th birthday, he declined his party's parliamentary leadership, saying Prime Minister is not suitable for him. The leader of the Burton Coalition, Wendell Rawlings Burton, announced on November 17, 2023 in the second parliamentary debate for the 2024 parliamentary election that he is not interested in being a parliamentary leader in the 2029 parliamentary election, thus making the Burton Coalition leadership open.

#### Declared

Jacklyn Lynn Brissett KingGordon Lucas WebsterZackary Van Belleghem**Jonathan Sidney MacCarthy III** - Prime Minister of the Empire of Chawosauria from January to April 2020.
* Jacklyn Lynn Brissett King
* Gordon Lucas Webster
* Zackary Van Belleghem

The Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party has begun to fight for a leader in the 2029 legislative elections. The incumbent is Johnathan Saint Nicholas Montgomery VII, but Jacklyn Lynn Brissett King is out for vengeance due to feeling cheated in the 2023 Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party leadership election, and Gordon Lucas Webster wants to succeed his father, but having to face the awkwardness of the fact that one of his opponents, Zackary Van Belleghem, is his nephew. It is speculated widely, that Jeanette Andrea MacAlasdair would become the leader of the Social Democrats to unify the Socialist Coalition.

On January 30, 2024, former Prime Minister Jonathan Sidney MacCarthy III declared that he is a candidate to be Prime Minister again. Despite the Imperial Constitution of the Empire of Chawosauria stating that no person nearing the age of 80 can serve public office, called insultingly as *the Biden rule*, the Independent Checkers and the Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces said they're not going to enforce it against MacCarthy and the Biden rule could be repealed by the inauguration of the 2025-2029 Chawosaurian Government. Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker even said he has no interest in enforcing the Biden rule against MacCarthy.

MacCarthy's first premiership did not go well. He faced a large Communist Party government that framed him as a Catholic because he was of Irish descent, and used that as justification to impeach him, which forced him to resign. Parker grew remorseful towards MacCarthy as his selection of MacCarthy's successor, Jezebel Isela Boleslaus, was all for nothing as she resigned due to her anger over the Chawosaurian handling of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Parker chose MacCarthy as Earth Minister, and the two reconciled. There have been rumors and speculations that MacCarthy wants his old job back, and on January 30, 2024, MacCarthy publicly declared that he wants his job back, and that he is seeking for vengeance for being impeached and forced out of the Prime Ministership by winning the Prime Ministership in the 2029 elections despite being nearly 80-years-old.

#### Withdrew

Johnathan Saint Nicholas Montgomery VIIOn January 26, 2024, on his 34th birthday, Johnathan Saint Nicholas Montgomery VII said he does not want to be Prime Minister of the Empire of Chawosauria, therefore he dropped out, though he still said he will remain as leader of the SDWLP.

## Leadership Speculation

With Professor and First Lady Jeanette Andrea MacAlasdair having been selected by motion to lead the Chawosaurian Communist Party, undoubtedly making her the parliamentary leader of the party for this election, the other parties and coalitions have not made up their minds about their future leaders. For the Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party, the party could either reelect Johnathan Saint Nicholas Montgomery VII, select Jeanette MacAlasdair as the parliamentary leader of the Socialist Coalition led by the Communists and the Social Democrats themselves, or the party can elect somebody else to lead them against the Communist Party.

#### Information

The Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party may keep Montgomery as their parliamentary leader, but that would depend on some factors: how he fare in the 2024 Chawosaurian legislative elections and if he wants to lead the party again. But if seeks another as parliamentary leader, he may easily win, especially if he gains seats or even win.

The old leader of the party, Sydney Lucas Webster, rejected offers to potentially run again because by 2029, he will be 79, which would make him a year close to the age of 80. Other potential parliamentary leader candidates, Joe Leaders, Wendy Joyce, John McLee, Paul Weber, Bryan Griswold, John Burrow, and Samuel Whitelaw have other declined bids to lead the party because of their disastrous performances in the 2023 Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party leadership election, most of them faring as worse as 2.4% of the popular vote in the first round.

From the 2020 Chawosaurian Opposition leadership election, Coriolano Adriano Bresciano, James Hawkes, John Insley, George McGlothlin, Jeanette McCloskey, Gregory McGregor, Frederica Mecklenberg, Garfield McKinley, Stuart W. Potter, Jonathan Blakeley, Rothlisberger, and McCluskey, who did not make it in the only round because a majority was won, thus killing the second round, but they ran for it. From the 2023 leadership election, James Leo Barber, who had a strong showing for a leading candidate who lost the first round, is expected to potentially run for leader, and the other first round losers: Jack O'Callaghan, Casper Potter, Joseph Berks V, Lochlainn W. MacKenzie X, Jack Wallace V, Scamander Alexander, Zayden Webster, Tony Vega, Tom Mark, Zayden MacKenzie, Nancy Parker, and James Gryder, have all not made a declaration but are expected to.
