3rd EDRHL federal election

|

The 3rd EDRHL federal election was held to elect the members of the 3rd People's Congress. This was a snap election called by the President after no government could be formed.

The result was a clear reverse of the previous result. The NSFM suffered heavy loses and was overtaken by the WUICP which recovered much of but not all of the previous losses. The behavior of the NSFM and their lead candidate Brody Walker in the period after the second election hurt the image of the party and turned away many swing voters. The DSPO saw substantial gains throughout the country and the LDFMC suffered minor losses. The WUICP was once again the largest faction which returned them the position of president. Grace Murphy was re-elected for a second term.

The Red-Purple gained a majority. The WUICP renewed the coalition contract with the DSPO. Jack Huey was re-elected as General-Secretary.

Background
In the previous election, the NSFM had become the largest party defeating the incumbent Jack Huey government. Most of the losses were sustained by the WUICP which lost around one third of its votes. There was wide speculation that the NSFM could with the support either directly or indirectly of Austin's Liberal Democrats could form a government. This did not happen after the NSFM militias got into several violent riots with political rivals, these events horrified the public and the political class. After Brody Walker refused to back down the Austin called of any form of cooperation. As a result Pete Browning who had become the EDRHL's second President had no other choice but to call a snap election.
