Background
In January 2018, due to health problems, President Chase Owens stepped down and was replaced with John Poseidon who was criticized for his way of handling the country, Poseidon was described as "all over the place" by the public and parliament alike but he soon found his stride and was a president that loved the people however as COVID-19 hit Shanevillean shores he struggled to stay on top of it resorting to calming people down with daily updates during news broadcasts.
With the election on the horizon though Poseidon made it clear that he wanted a chance to run for a first proper term so announced he would run for President this year instead of handing over the reigns of the Liberal Democrats to someone else he would be running against the new Commonwealth party (in its 2nd ever election) and a National and Labor party coalition following both their losses at the 2016 election with Owens' opponent Michael Noth returning as the Coalitions candidate, the Commonwealth opted for Shane Wray who had little experience in politics but wanted to show the world that young people can do it and with the Commonwealth being a "party for the young people" they announced it was time for change in the country.

Aftermath
The day after the election at around 10am the Central Shaneville parliament finally came to a decision and that was to have a re-election between the 3 candidates in December and whilst the election was big for the Commonwealth party who technically won it they were upset by what had happened and aimed for an even better campaign in December which will be a week long to see if the parties can gain more support.
