4th EDRHL federal election

|

The 4th EDRHL federal election was held to elect the members of the 4th People's Congress. The outgoing government was a Red-Purple Alliance of the Workers Union of the International Communist Party (WUICP) and the Democratic Socialist Peoples Organization (DSPO) led by General Secretary Jack Huey.

The WUICP reasserted its dominance on the political scene with a strong result, scoring their best ever. The NSFM continued to drain support even after leadership changes. The DSPO also sustained losses. The NSFM and DSPO mainly suffered from low turnout rather than losing voters to other parties. The LDFMC was steady, receiving close to the previous score. The WUICP remained the largest faction which allowed them to retain the position of president. Grace Murphy was subsequently re-elected.

The incumbent Red-Purple Alliance held its majority. The WUICP negotiated a new coalition contract with the DSPO. Jack Huey was re-elected as General-Secretary.

Background
In the previous election, the WUICP returned to government after defeating the NSFM challenger Pete Browning. The Red-Purple alliance pick up where it had left of in the first term. Leading up to the 4th election both the NSFM and the DSPO lost momentum and began to stagnate. Jack Huey's leadership was very popular and it was expected that no major upsets were possible.
