2016 Chawosaurian direct election

The **2016 Chawosaurian direct election** was a recall direct election held on December 31, 2016. The goal was to recall Abooksigun Eluwilussit. It was called by the 23rd Chawopolis Palace, but it backfired.

The result was a stalemate: Green Party candidate Malina Lusa Parker defeated the incumbent Supreme Leader Abooksigun Eluwilussit by a slim margin. While Abooksigun Eluwilussit went on to win a majority of delegates, a 2019 inquiry revealed that he fairly lost reelection. The Communist Party failed to mobilize candidates to nominate one, this is a capitalist hold either way.

Malina Parker was the first non-Communist elected Supreme Leader since Emperor Santiago in the 1899 Chawosaurian direct election. Parker was also the first from a green party to get elected to any political office in Chawosauria.

This election was called by the Communist Party-controlled 23rd Chawopolis Palace to swipe the monarchy from Capitalist rule, but the election backfired because the Communist Party never successfully recruited any candidates, Prime Minister Jonathan Dragan Boleslaus IX refused to run, and all three veteran Prime Ministers, Leonid Ivan Bzovsky, Shang Jong Parker, and Jonathan Lachlan MacAlasdair VIII had all refused to run. While the Green Party had the monarchy for two months, the Chawopolis Palace still had a Communist Party majority until the 2017 Chawosaurian legislative elections.

Abooksigun Eluwilussit was likely hurt by the major geopolitical embarrassments in the Brexit referendum in the United Kingdom and the presidential election in the United States, both resulted in Britain voting to exit the European Union, and Donald Trump elected President of the United States in a stunning upset over Hillary Clinton, who Abooksigun prominently supported publicly and Clinton's unexpected loss represented a serious blow to Abooksigun Eluwilussit's foreign policy. Left-wing frustration over Clinton's loss lifted Malina Lusa Parker, whose native party nominated Jill Stein for President of the United States and many progressives who didn't trust Clinton were attracted to Stein, partly costing Clinton the presidency.

This is the most recent election in which the vast majority of candidates, running or speculated to run, were Native Americans. This is also the most recent election won by a woman.

## Background

Chawmania* case pending in the Supreme Court on rather Chawosauria should end their outlawing of religions and cults. The surprise result of the 2016 American presidential election embarrassed Abooksigun, making this one of the greatest Late-Term Curses in Chawosaurian history.
