General elections were held in Azmara on 19 April 2020. All 150 seats in the Folksmot were contested, being elected in eight multi-member constituencies.
As part of a campaign largely dominated by discussion of issues of climate change, especially the ramifications of the Tuaisceart-Süd II pipeline, the result saw significant gains for the left-liberal Radicals and the Green Party, both of whom made opposition to the pipeline and investment in the green economy key parts of their platforms. Both took small portions of the Workers' Party's 2017 support base, yet for the most part the party's support base remained constant.
The election also saw Gold Flame affirm themselves as the leading party of the centre-right, making significant gains, largely at the expense of the Sotirian Democrats, who also saw their support bleed to the regionalist Free Alliance 08 due to their strong anti-devolution stances.
Immediately after the election, the Workers' Party, the Radicals and the Green Party entered negotiations to form a government together, which was marked by dispute between the socially conservative trade unionist side of the Workers' Party with the anti-pipeline activists in both the Radicals and Greens, yet was ultimately resolved in early July as former Interior Minister Sofija Anasdohter was confirmed as Thingspeaker in a confidence vote on the 13th.
