2014 Ordennyan general election was held on 7 May 2014, four years after the previous general election held in 2010. It bought to an end nine years of Conservative government, and resulted in a coalition government between the centre-left Popular Alliance of Socialists & Democrats and the left-wing Green Party.
The Conservative Party, which had governed as a majority from 2005 and as a minority from 2010, was led by Joakim Persson. It was seeking to reclaim a working majority against the Popular Alliance, the official opposition led by Ånneli Lindström. It was the first general election to be contested by either Persson or Lindström as party leader; Persson had succeeded Frederik Xandström following his resignation as prime minister in January, while Lindström had succeeded Jakub Askildsen after he resigned following his failure to form a coalition government after the general election two years earlier.
