The September 2024 Senate Election season was from the beginning mired in controversy. Senator '''Charter''' (<b style="color:#b20040">NSP</b>) was '''pitted''' by the mod team at the very start of the new election cycle. This coincided with the newly ratified First Amendment to '''#📜-the-constitution''', which guaranteed due process to all citizens of '''SwagCord''', making '''Charter''' the first to be tried under the new system, for the first time, by the jury of one's peers. Although it is believed that the prospects of the new, more transparent process helped quell any potential outbursts, due to scheduling, his trial was set only after the election had concluded. '''Charter''', however, declined to run. | |||
The rising '''Chauka'''-led <b style="color:#fb04cc">NovaSP</b> party had been among the ruling <b style="color:#b20040">NSP</b>'s strongest opposition. Although exercising no power in '''#🏛-the-senate''', '''Chauka''', being a former senator, retained access there. However, most of the campaigning came in the form of the many propaganda posters produced by '''Boris Chico''', who had been recruited from the ranks of the allied <b style="color:#0f9ed5">CPoS</b>). The party's campaigning began as early as August, weeks before the elections were called. | |||
The <b style="color:#6c41bb">Anarchist</b> <b style="color:#000000">Party</b>, taking note of its rising popularity, ran '''girard''' as their candidate. The electorate proved highly receptive as the proposition was announced. Although still formally the party leader, '''@no-one''', feeling sick in the past weeks, decided to allow '''girard''' to take center stage, and run as the party's main candidate. | |||
The debate produced a strong showing from many candidates, especially independents, however, the election remained a likely match between the <b style="color:#b20040">NSP</b> and <b style="color:#fb04cc">NovaSP</b>. The '''#🎫-voting-booth''' opened soon after. Due to an uncharacteristically large surge of voters, almost all ballots were filled within four hours, and elections were called early. The mod team had been tracking the results for the past few hours, and yet the results remained equally as shocking. '''Xertun''', tied in first place with '''girard''' of the <b style="color:#6c41bb">Anarchist</b> <b style="color:#000000">Party</b>. Due to the rules surrounding <b style="color:#6c41bb">Anarch</b><b style="color:#000000">ist</b> candidates, first proposed during the '''Walter-LarKcuavian administration''', an <b style="color:#6c41bb">Anarch</b><b style="color:#000000">ist</b> victory fills '''#🏛-the-senate''' with empty seats. | |||
The results firmly showed a new composition of '''#🏛-the-senate''', where '''Xertun''' and '''girard''' would be the only members. The members of the <b style="color:#fb04cc">NovaSP</b> opposition took to the streets to protest the results of the election. A movement in support of the president resigning has even gained support of the president himself.<ref group="note">After '''Chauka''' promised to draw him two Peters.</ref> As the mods were tracking the count, several instances of huge swings in support of certain candidates were noticed. Although '''girard''' held a lead during the early hours of the election, a massive chunk of his support was soon lost, before suddenly coming back in the final minutes before closing. The <b style="color:#b20040">NSP</b> candidate, '''Dainis''', would go on to taunt the '''mod team''', claiming that certain members of it are easily corrupted, however, the claims have been deemed dubious. An <b style="color:#b20040">NSP</b>-led campaign to install '''girard''' is nonetheless being investigated. | |||
