Federal snap elections were held in [[Louisianian Republic|Louisiana]] on 5 February 2022 to elect all 255 members of [[Louisianian Parliament|Parliament]]. As the previous election's four-year mandates were due to expire, new writs of election were issued in late November 2021. Despite a reduced majority, incumbent Prime Minister [[Michel LePenz]] was able to secure a record fourth term after first being elected in [[2012 Louisianian General Election|2012]].
The [[Conservative Party of Louisiana|Conservative Party]] (PC), led by Prime Minister LePenz, won the highest percentage of the vote with 40.4% for 115 seats. While considered a near-landslide, this represented a slight decrease from its 2018 percentage of 44.4% and 121 seats. The [[Alliance for the Republic (Louisiana)|Alliance for the Republic]] (or "Alliance") received 25.2% and 65 seats, considered a disappointing result despite staying the second largest party in Parliament. [[Better Louisiana]] (UML) received 7.3% and 14 seats, [[United Native List|Qumsa]] received 6.4% and 17 seats, [[Alternative for Louisiana]] (ApL) received 5.8% and 15 seats, the [[Christian Rally of Louisiana|Christian Rally]] (RCL) received 5.5% and 11 seats, while [[Iodaian People's Party|Ma'ayi]] received 3.6% and stayed stable at 10 seats. This was the first election under the new 5% threshold, though Ma'ayi was exempt due to its status as an ethnic party.
Though the PC had formed a coalition with the ApL and RCL in a [[Coalition Governments in Louisiana#Marktdarp Coalition|green Marktdarp]] after the [[2018 Louisianian General Election|2018]]. Due to polls indicating lagging popularity for LePenz, the ApL signaled it intended to break the coalition agreement at the expiration of the session. However, in a surprise, LePenz and the PC outdid their polling and was able to secure a [[Coalition Governments in Louisiana#Marktdarp Coalition|Marktdarp coalition]] of just 129 seats. Despite the efforts of the ApL to rejoin the coalition, LePenz preferred the narrow majority consisting of just the PC and RCL, citing irreconcilable differences between the parties on migration and energy policy.
LePenz and his cabinet would resign in wake of the [[War Appropiations Scandal]] in late  which saw several members of the [[LePenz IV Cabinet]], including prime minister LePenz, be implicated in a scheme to use federal troops enforcing occupation law in northern Louisiana to confiscate property and goods to be sold, with the resulting funds being funneled into the bank accounts of the implicated officials. LePenz would be replaced by [[Broussard Landry]], who would lose election in a landslide the following year.

Federal snap elections were held in Louisiana on 5 February 2022 to elect all 255 members of Parliament. As the previous election's four-year mandates were due to expire, new writs of election were issued in late November 2021. Despite a reduced majority, incumbent Prime Minister Michel LePenz was able to secure a record fourth term after first being elected in 2012.

The Conservative Party (PC), led by Prime Minister LePenz, won the highest percentage of the vote with 40.4% for 115 seats. While considered a near-landslide, this represented a slight decrease from its 2018 percentage of 44.4% and 121 seats. The Alliance for the Republic (or "Alliance") received 25.2% and 65 seats, considered a disappointing result despite staying the second largest party in Parliament. Better Louisiana (UML) received 7.3% and 14 seats, Qumsa received 6.4% and 17 seats, Alternative for Louisiana (ApL) received 5.8% and 15 seats, the Christian Rally (RCL) received 5.5% and 11 seats, while Ma'ayi received 3.6% and stayed stable at 10 seats. This was the first election under the new 5% threshold, though Ma'ayi was exempt due to its status as an ethnic party.

Though the PC had formed a coalition with the ApL and RCL in a green Marktdarp after the 2018. Due to polls indicating lagging popularity for LePenz, the ApL signaled it intended to break the coalition agreement at the expiration of the session. However, in a surprise, LePenz and the PC outdid their polling and was able to secure a Marktdarp coalition of just 129 seats. Despite the efforts of the ApL to rejoin the coalition, LePenz preferred the narrow majority consisting of just the PC and RCL, citing irreconcilable differences between the parties on migration and energy policy.

LePenz and his cabinet would resign in wake of the War Appropiations Scandal in late which saw several members of the LePenz IV Cabinet, including prime minister LePenz, be implicated in a scheme to use federal troops enforcing occupation law in northern Louisiana to confiscate property and goods to be sold, with the resulting funds being funneled into the bank accounts of the implicated officials. LePenz would be replaced by Broussard Landry, who would lose election in a landslide the following year.
