==Analysis==
On a record-low turnout, voters re-elected the incumbent [[Progressive Party (Mel-akkam)|Progressive Party]] in a landslide, delivering Mel-akkam's first parliamentary majority since 2017. Progressive candidates won clean sweeps in the provinces of [[Mohenjo-daro Province|Mohenjo-daro]] and Dholavira, as well as their first-ever seat in the [[Shortugai|Shortugai Exclave]]. The Progressive Party ended up winning a commanding majority in the Social Commission, exactly half of the seats in the Economic and Judicial commissions, and a plurality in the Diplomatic Commission.
The main opposition [[Coalition of Independents]] was decisively defeated, losing both votes and seats. The Progressives' junior government partner, the [[Liberal Democratic Party (Mel-akkam)|Liberal Democratic Party]], lost seats as well, and almost lost its third-place vote share to the [[Restoration Front]], which lost votes compared to 2023 but maintained its seat count. The newly-formed [[New Liberals]] won almost 5% of the vote and one seat, but underperformed compared to its polling results. The single-province [[Kot-diji Party|KDP]] saw no change in its seat count and vote share.
The elections were widely perceived as a return to Mel-akkam's era of Progressive dominance, following a few years of strong opposition showings. Commentators noted that the strong showing would likely drive increased factionalism within the PP.
==Aftermath==
The Progressives, having won a working majority in three out of four commissions and in the Coordinating Council, were well-poised to form a government. The Progressives announced that their Deputy Leader, [[Ekabhi Prayam]], would lead coalition negotiations. In accordance with the custom of meeting with all parties in order of their seat count, Prayam initially contacted the Liberal Democratic Party, and reportedly sought to renew the incumbent coalition, but was rebuffed by LDP leader [[Vyaparam Vedan]], who announced that his party would leave the government and sit as independents. Prayam then approached the Coalition of Independents, but both parties issued a statement asserting that discussions had not been fruitful. The Restoration Front refused to meet with Prayam. Prayam finally contacted the Kot-diji Party, and the two groups agreed to form a coalition government with ten Progressive members and two KDP members. An investiture vote was then held for the incumbent Leader of the Government, Progressive [[Nirtyam Am'mayi]], who subsequently appointed the agreed-upon cabinet.
Faced with poor election results, LDP leader Vyaparam Vedan was widely expected to resign as party leader, but refused to do so. A leadership election was subsequently held and won by Niyantra Ledu.

Analysis

On a record-low turnout, voters re-elected the incumbent Progressive Party in a landslide, delivering Mel-akkam's first parliamentary majority since 2017. Progressive candidates won clean sweeps in the provinces of Mohenjo-daro and Dholavira, as well as their first-ever seat in the Shortugai Exclave. The Progressive Party ended up winning a commanding majority in the Social Commission, exactly half of the seats in the Economic and Judicial commissions, and a plurality in the Diplomatic Commission.

The main opposition Coalition of Independents was decisively defeated, losing both votes and seats. The Progressives' junior government partner, the Liberal Democratic Party, lost seats as well, and almost lost its third-place vote share to the Restoration Front, which lost votes compared to 2023 but maintained its seat count. The newly-formed New Liberals won almost 5% of the vote and one seat, but underperformed compared to its polling results. The single-province KDP saw no change in its seat count and vote share.

The elections were widely perceived as a return to Mel-akkam's era of Progressive dominance, following a few years of strong opposition showings. Commentators noted that the strong showing would likely drive increased factionalism within the PP.

Aftermath

The Progressives, having won a working majority in three out of four commissions and in the Coordinating Council, were well-poised to form a government. The Progressives announced that their Deputy Leader, Ekabhi Prayam, would lead coalition negotiations. In accordance with the custom of meeting with all parties in order of their seat count, Prayam initially contacted the Liberal Democratic Party, and reportedly sought to renew the incumbent coalition, but was rebuffed by LDP leader Vyaparam Vedan, who announced that his party would leave the government and sit as independents. Prayam then approached the Coalition of Independents, but both parties issued a statement asserting that discussions had not been fruitful. The Restoration Front refused to meet with Prayam. Prayam finally contacted the Kot-diji Party, and the two groups agreed to form a coalition government with ten Progressive members and two KDP members. An investiture vote was then held for the incumbent Leader of the Government, Progressive Nirtyam Am'mayi, who subsequently appointed the agreed-upon cabinet.

Faced with poor election results, LDP leader Vyaparam Vedan was widely expected to resign as party leader, but refused to do so. A leadership election was subsequently held and won by Niyantra Ledu.
