The election saw Prime Minister Kellisyen re-elected as Prime Minister, albeit with a smaller minority in the Hérvynsken. After weeks of negotiations, on 19 April 2017, a coalition deal was struck between the Socialist and Labour parties, marking the first time Labour entered government. Labour made large gains, particularly in urban areas and their former coal-mining heartland. Their leader [[Lilli Maisolson]] would be sworn in on 28 April as the first woman Second Minister. Despite notable gains, CNy leader [[John Geosan]] resigned on election night, seeing the election as a failure on his part as the leader. He would be the only party leader to not also compete in the [[2021 Seketese General Election|next election]]. The Liberal Democrats suffered slightly, losing a handful of district seats to strategic voting. The regionalist Wilsk National Party and their longtime leader [[Marc Joels]] lost most of the gains they made in 2014, largely attributed to their [[Irvansky|provincial governments]] failed independence referendum.

The 2017 Seketese General Election was held on March 26 2017 to elect members of the Commons Council, the lower house of the Hérvynsken. The President of Seketan, Fjedor Alesk formally dissolved the Commons Council on February 15 2017 at the request of Prime Minister Eris Kellisyen.

The election saw Prime Minister Kellisyen re-elected as Prime Minister, albeit with a smaller minority in the Hérvynsken. After weeks of negotiations, on 19 April 2017, a coalition deal was struck between the Socialist and Labour parties, marking the first time Labour entered government. Labour made large gains, particularly in urban areas and their former coal-mining heartland. Their leader Lilli Maisolson would be sworn in on 28 April as the first woman Second Minister. Despite notable gains, CNy leader John Geosan resigned on election night, seeing the election as a failure on his part as the leader. He would be the only party leader to not also compete in the next election. The Liberal Democrats suffered slightly, losing a handful of district seats to strategic voting. The regionalist Wilsk National Party and their longtime leader Marc Joels lost most of the gains they made in 2014, largely attributed to their provincial governments failed independence referendum.

Electoral system

Since 2004, Seketan has used a mixed voting system to elect members to the Commons Council. 193 of seats are elected from single-member districts using First-past-the-post voting (district seats), and 100 seats are elected from at-large provincial constituencies using close Party-list proportional representation (provincial seats). Unlike other mixed systems like in South Korea or Ukraine, voters cast a single vote for their district seat, with their chosen candidates party affiliation being counted for the provincial seat. Both district and provincial seats are allocated to the provinces by population as such below.
