The '''2024 Uskadian general election''' was recently held on Friday, 28 June 2024. The governing Progressive Workers' Party, leading the Together for Progress coalition, gained a supermajority in Parliament. This also marks the first time ever in the history of Uskad, that the Conservative Nationalist Party finished third place at a general election, marking the worst results ever for the party. TfP member and centrist party Initiative took the CNP's place as the second largest party and also became a governing partner of the PWP.
The '''2024 Uskadian general election''' was held on 28 July 2024 to elect 560 members of the [[Parliament of Uskad]].

This also marks the first time ever in the history of Uskad, that the Conservative Nationalist Party finished third place at a general election, marking the worst results ever for the party. TfP member and centrist party Initiative took the CNP's place as the second largest party.
 
In the previous 2019 general election, the PWP-Initiative coalition defeated the CNP, but fell short of a majority. The coalition brokered a confidence and supply agreement with the Majengipun/Advancement party. PWP leader William Sarbalsta was then appointed Prime Minister. Initially popular, his economic policies and handling of the COVID-19 pandemic was controversial. A mass resignation by his cabinet occurred, and he resigned in 2022. Popular PWP youth leader and newly-elected MP Peter Jasubulu was elected and took his place.
 
Jasubulu's economic policies has caused a relatively fast recovery of the Uskadian economy, and even furthered the growth rate. During his premiership, the PWP was at its highest approval rates since the Sasanta premiership in 2005. Opinion polls organised by various polling organisations showed high popularity rates for the PWP and Initiative. The crossbencher party Socialists & Greens also increased in popularity after they were elected to govern the SCT.
 
Jasubulu announced an extension of the current governing coalition, named Together for Progress. The TfP contained the governing parties PWP and Initiative, but also the Socialists and Greens, and the PNT. The combined coalition was set to gain a majority according to various opinion polls. Talks between the opposition CNP and the new big-tent Popular Alliance party to form an electoral coalition occurred, but broke down due to major ideological differences.
 
The PWP and the coalition won a major victory over the CNP, gaining a supermajority. Factors leading to the CNP's loss include high popularity of PA leader Yohan Lokrana, and unpopular policies carried out by CNP provincial governments. After the election, the PWP formed another government, the Second Jasubulu cabinet. The new Popular Alliance party has made the largest gains by any party in the election, gaining 43 seats. It also formed the governing majority in the Uskadian province of Lesetia, where Lokrana formerly governed as premier. The Javanese-minority rights party Manjengipun suffered the highest losses in the election, losing 37 out of its 62 seats, just one seat more than CNP losses.  


In the previous election the PWP-Initiative coalition defeated the CNP, but fell short of a majority. The coalition brokered a confidence and supply agreement with the Majengipun/Advancement party. PWP leader William Sarbalsta was then appointed Prime Minister. Due to his controversial handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, and failed economic recovery efforts, he resigned in 2022, and former PWP youth leader Peter Jasubulu was elected and took his place.
==Campaign positions==


Jasubulu's economic policies has caused a relatively fast recovery of the Uskadian economy, and even furthered the growth rate. During his premiership, the PWP was at its highest approval rates since the Sasanta premiership in 2005. Opinion polls organised by various polling organisations showed high popularity rates for the PWP and Initiative, but also for the left-wing Socialists & Greens.

[[File:TfP manifesto.jpeg|thumb|The cover for the TfP's manifesto.]]


Jasubulu announced an extension of the current governing coalition, named Together for Progress. The TfP contained the PWP, Initiative, Socialists and Greens, and the PNT. The combined coalition was set to gain a supermajority according to various opinion polls. Talks between the opposition CNP and the new libertarian Popular Alliance party occurred, but broke down due to major ideological differences.
The TfP coalition ran on a campaign platform of continuing the previous government's policy, and later released a campaign manifesto of the same name. According to the manifesto, the coalition aims to advance economic growth, social justice, innovation and international cooperation.


The PWP and the coalition won a major victory over the CNP, gaining a supermajority. Factors leading to the CNP's loss include vote-splitting by the PA, and general incompetence shown by CNP provincial governments. After the election, the PWP reformed the government. The new Popular Alliance party has also made the largest gains by any party in the election, gaining 43 seats. The Javanese-minority rights party Manjengipun suffered the highest losses in the election, losing 37 out of its 62 seats, just one seat more than CNP losses.
Some points from the manifesto:
* Use progressive taxation to fund social programs, and also boosting small and medium enterprises.
* Increase funding for education
* A four-day workweek
* Investing further in renewable energy targets
* Continuing further construction of high speed rail lines and other forms of public transport.
* Further humanitarian aid to Ukraine, eventually expanding to lethal aid.
* Ensuring affordable healthcare, and continuing the government's health care policy.


==Campaign and main issues==


===Environment===
===Conservative Nationalist Party===


One of the main issues and arguably the most important topic is the environment. The Together for Progress coalition proposes substantial investments in renewable energy, industrial waste filtering, stronger regulations on emissions, and encouraging sustainable industry. TfP also proposes the fostering of a eco-tourism industry.
The CNP published a manifesto ''Steadfast Progress: A plan for a responsible and forward-thinking Uskad''. In the manifesto the party aims to reduce taxes to corporations, increase the defence budget and creating conditions for job creation.

The 2024 Uskadian general election was held on 28 July 2024 to elect 560 members of the Parliament of Uskad. The governing Progressive Workers' Party, leading the Together for Progress coalition, gained a supermajority in Parliament. This also marks the first time ever in the history of Uskad, that the Conservative Nationalist Party finished third place at a general election, marking the worst results ever for the party. TfP member and centrist party Initiative took the CNP's place as the second largest party.

In the previous 2019 general election, the PWP-Initiative coalition defeated the CNP, but fell short of a majority. The coalition brokered a confidence and supply agreement with the Majengipun/Advancement party. PWP leader William Sarbalsta was then appointed Prime Minister. Initially popular, his economic policies and handling of the COVID-19 pandemic was controversial. A mass resignation by his cabinet occurred, and he resigned in 2022. Popular PWP youth leader and newly-elected MP Peter Jasubulu was elected and took his place.

Jasubulu's economic policies has caused a relatively fast recovery of the Uskadian economy, and even furthered the growth rate. During his premiership, the PWP was at its highest approval rates since the Sasanta premiership in 2005. Opinion polls organised by various polling organisations showed high popularity rates for the PWP and Initiative. The crossbencher party Socialists & Greens also increased in popularity after they were elected to govern the SCT.

Jasubulu announced an extension of the current governing coalition, named Together for Progress. The TfP contained the governing parties PWP and Initiative, but also the Socialists and Greens, and the PNT. The combined coalition was set to gain a majority according to various opinion polls. Talks between the opposition CNP and the new big-tent Popular Alliance party to form an electoral coalition occurred, but broke down due to major ideological differences.

The PWP and the coalition won a major victory over the CNP, gaining a supermajority. Factors leading to the CNP's loss include high popularity of PA leader Yohan Lokrana, and unpopular policies carried out by CNP provincial governments. After the election, the PWP formed another government, the Second Jasubulu cabinet. The new Popular Alliance party has made the largest gains by any party in the election, gaining 43 seats. It also formed the governing majority in the Uskadian province of Lesetia, where Lokrana formerly governed as premier.
