The '''2024 Delamarian General Election''' was held on May 20th, 2024. [[Henry Nugent]] of the [[Liberal Conservative Party (Delamaria)|Liberal Conservatives]] won a majority, after previously governing in coalition with the [[Democratic Party (Delamaria)|Democrats]], who lost more than two thirds of their seats. [[Parti Columbien]] lost most of their seats, leaving [[Social Labour Party (Delamaria)|Social Labour]], the [[Free Democratic Unionist Party|FDUP]] and the [[Green Party of Delamaria|Green Party]] increasing their number of seats.

The election was called by [[Prime Minister of Delamaria]], [[Henry Nugent]], on March 31st, allowing for 50 days of campaigning, the minimum amount under the [[Legislative Elections Act of 1996]]. Nugent promoted the election on the basis of the problems in Lysian Columbia, having faced resistance from his Democratic coalition partners on Northern assembly reform.
