The Vyvlander general election, 2005 took place on the 26th October 2005 to elect all 580 members of the Parliament of Vyvland. The government formed after lengthy negotiations was a coalition between the Socialist Party, who had won the most seats in the election, and junior coalition partners the Green, the Communist Party and the Helish People's Party. The Prime Minister before the election was Conservative Rikard Fegaad, but he was replaced by Minke Selengborg of the Socialists.
The election saw a big drop in support for the then Conservative-Liberal coalition government, who had been struggling with internal pressures causing the formation of the Capitalist-Libertarian Party and a period known as the Certezyd (Conservative shake(-up)) in which the party changed its name and massively restructured its organisation. However, both of these events caused a shift away from the two governing parties and towards the left and right wings; in addition to Socialist gains, the right-wing populist National Party reversed a period of stagnant decline from its worst election ever, in 2002, to a gain equal to over half its number of seats in 2005. As such, the first government in unified Vyvlander history to contain neither the Conservatives nor the Liberals was formed.
