=Background=
=Background=
The [[Alsland|2018 Alslandic legislative election]] was held after a 4-year coalition government led by [[Liveable Delland]] and involving [[Civic Initiative]], [[Progressive Holsteen]], the [[Social Democrats of Swerdia]], the [[Party for Freedom and Democracy]], [[Green - Alternative Choice]] and the [[Countryside and Agrarian Party]]. The coalition had lost it's majority prior to the election when the [[Countryside and Agrarian Party]] left the coalition over a proposed climate change bill. Following the election, despite the coalition coming close to winning a majority in the [[Folkssenaat]] but remained just shy of the 101 required seats to form a majority government.
After Civic Initiative threatened to leave coalition negotiations Premier [[Liekele Ykema]] resigned and was succeeded by the moderate [[Hepke Veltman]]. The [[Cabinet of Alsland|Veltman cabinet]] was sworn in 6 months after the election when the [[Kirenian People's Party]] agreed to support the government. [[Hepke Veltman]] resigned in 2020 after being elected as [[President of Alsland]]. He was succeeded by [[Ottila Möller]] of [[Progressive Holsteen]]. The coalition gained additional seats in 2021 when the {{wp|Green Conservative|eco-conservative}} [[Alsland|Community 2000]] party merged with the Green Party.
Möller resigned as Premier on 2 February 2022 after difficulties between Liveable Delland and the Social Democrats of Swerdia emerged in her coalition. She immediately stated her intention to be reinstalled as Premier by the Folkssenaat which she was on 4 February. Her resignation was seen as an attempt to unify the coalition although was fiercely criticised by the media and public for creating political instability. After Möller's resignation the leaders of each party in the coalition agreed that they would seek alternative coalitions after the election instead of continuing the liberal led coalition.
