Incumbent [[Ravy Egiði]] entered the campaign in a reasonable position, having maintained a good popularity throughout his term. However, when the nominations were closed, opinion polls showed he would have a tough fight for re-election.
Incumbent [[Ravy Egiði]] entered the campaign in a reasonable position, having maintained a good popularity throughout his term. However, opinion polls tightened as nomations closed, hinting at a tough fight.


[[Frauke Stark]] was the first to announce her run, nominated by {{G-LND}}. She also secured the endorsement of the {{G-PA}}, which unified the left behind her. She was the [[List of Gylians by net worth|richest Gylian]] to run for the presidency, and her existing fame as a [[Pornography in Gylias|pornographic]] household name proved a formidable obstacle. Notably, she ran for the presidency as Frauke Stark, whereas her previous political and academic involvement was done under her real name, Julia Brückner.
Among the first declared candidates was [[Dana Tan]], former finance minister and incumbent opposition leader. She chose to run hoping it would give Ensemble a boost in that year's [[List of Gylian regional elections#2022|regional]] and [[List of Gylian municipal elections#2022|municipal]] elections.<ref>Ravy considered Dana his toughest opponent, on account of her dignified and soft-spoken personality.</ref> Already known for her record as finance minister, Dana chose to base her campaign on foreign policy. She supported deepening the "muscular Gylias" policies of the [[Latte Revolution]] and [[Common Sphere#Politics|reinforcing]] the [[Common Sphere]].


Model and actress [[Mai Thị Lan]] ran as an independent with a campaign focused on promotion of [[Culture of Gylias#Luxury|socialised luxury]]. She had built her career on portraying graceful and good-natured "beautiful elite" characters, and thus her and Frauke's presence on the ballot gave rise to the nickname ''"the election of wealth"''. Rounding out the field were recent [[Regions of Gylias#Government|Governor]] of [[Nauras Region|Nauras]] Vũ Tùng Quân, nominated by the {{G-LU}}, and ''[[francité]]'' stalwart [[Amanda Leloup]], contesting her 7th presidential election in a row.
The contest was transformed by the entrance of actresses [[Frauke Stark]] and [[Mai Thị Lan]]. Nominated by {{G-LND}}, Frauke was the [[List of Gylians by net worth|richest Gylian]] to run for the presidency, and was a household name due to her [[Pornography in Gylias|pornographic]] work. Lan had also built her career on portraying graceful and good-natured "beautiful elite" characters. The two's presence produced the nickname ''"election of wealth"''. ''[[Francité]]'' stalwart [[Amanda Leloup]], contesting her 7th presidential election in a row, completed the field.


Frauke and Lan monopolised much of the attention during the campaign, causing Ravy's campaign to struggle. Frauke financed her campaign personally, refusing donations, and launched a successful advertising blitz that capitalised on her fame. Her [[Politics of Gylias#Party political broadcasts|PPB]]s were polished and featured the high production values and cheeky humour that had characterised her [[Frauke Stark#Shopping|''Shopping'']] series, leading to a popular joke that her campaign was another ''Shopping'' film in disguise. ''[[The Republic]]'' wrote that Frauke's campaign tacitly impressed on voters her strongest qualities: "sexy, aging gracefully, {{wpl|trans woman|trans}}, rich, and a doctor in psychology — not necessarily in that order". Lan's campaign similarly built on her established public persona, concentrating on promotion of [[Culture of Gylias#Luxury|socialised luxury]].
The campaign polarised into two unofficial camps. Ravy and Dana were the "serious" candidates, running on policy and their records of public service. Frauke and Lan were the "celebrity" candidates, running joyous campaigns based around [[Culture of Gylias#Luxury|socialised luxury]] and their existing fame. Frauke's campaign mimicked the successful campaigns of [[Marie-Agnès Delaunay]], the richest Prime Minister. She financed her campaign personally, used the internet effectively, and produced polished [[Politics of Gylias#Party political broadcasts|PPB]]s with her trademark high production values and cheeky humour.<ref>Gylians joked that Frauke's campaign was secretly the next installment of her [[Frauke Stark#Shopping|''Shopping'']] series.</ref> Lan followed a similar approach of highlighting her established public persona, but lacked Frauke's resources.


At {{wpl|husting|public meetings}}, Frauke and Lan maintained an unofficial "non-aggression pact", teaming up against their opponents. Quân tried to focus on ideology during her campaign, but realised early on she was outmatched by Frauke and Lan's glamour and celebrity.
Opinion polls showed voters split four ways between Ravy, Dana, Frauke, and Lan, with Amanda trailing in last place. {{wpl|husting|Public meetings}} revealed the polarisation: Ravy and Dana on one side and Frauke and Lan on the other. Each side maintained unofficial "non-aggression pacts", teaming up against their opponents. ''[[The Republic]]'' described Dana showing the "focused questioning and quiet determination" she showed as opposition leader in the [[Gylian Chamber of Deputies|Chamber of Deputies]]. Ravy's experience as a television presenter proved no match for Frauke and Lan's glamour. However, voters responded well to Dana's "razor-sharp questions and quiet dignity".<ref>Dana had a notable impact on her campaign, as the other candidates followed her lead on foreign and defense policy questions.</ref>


In the first round, Frauke won a plurality, establishing a commanding lead over the other candidates. The great surprise was Lan overtaking Ravy by 175.000 first preference votes, eliminating him before the final round. It was the first time an incumbent President had failed to advance to the final round. Quân finished fourth, only 0,1% ahead of Amanda.
In the first round, Frauke won a strong plurality of 40%, leading by over 4 million first preference votes.<ref>Her first-count plurality surpassed [[Carmen Dell'Orefice]]'s 30% in [[Gylian presidential election, 2014|2014]], and was the biggest first-count plurality since [[Reda Kazan]] won in the first round of [[Gylian presidential election, 1961|1961]].</ref> Dana finished second, with 16,3% of first preference votes.

Frauke's dominance was belied by the first round map, where she won pluralities in [[Mişeyáke Region|Mişeyáke]] and the northern regions, but finished a close second in most other regions. Quân won the traditional liberal strongholds, but was overtaken in [[Nauras Region|Nauras]] by Ravy. Lan won pluralities in the non-inscrit friendly [[Tomes Region|Tomes]] and [[Sváen Region|Sváen]], and several central regions.
The first round map showed Ravy's weakness, as he only won a plurality in 3 regions: [[Nerveiík-Iárus-Daláyk Region|Nerveiík-Iárus-Daláyk]], [[Ḑarna Region|Ḑarna]], and [[Nauras Region|Nauras]]. Frauke won pluralities only in [[Mişeyáke Region|Mişeyáke]] and [[Tandar Region|Tandar]], but finished second in most other regions. Dana carried the traditional liberal strongholds of [[Arţia Region|Arţia]] and [[Elena Region|Elena]], and surprisingly won the northern regions of [[Salxarces Region|Salxarces]] and [[Gecar Region|Gecar]].<ref>These regions had a traditional leftist orientation but were less inclined towards [[Non-inscrits (Gylias)|non-inscrits]], and thus favoured Dana as the "serious" candidate.</ref> Lan won pluralities in 5 regions, the most of the first count candidates.


In the final round, Frauke largely gained transfers from Quân and Amanda's voters, while Lan largely gained transfers from Ravy's voters after his unexpected elimination. Frauke defeated Lan by 60% to 40%, a margin not seen since [[Gylian presidential election, 1975|1975]].
For the third time since [[Gylian presidential election, 2007|2007]] and [[Gylian presidential election, 2014|2014]], vote transfers changed the final contest. Lan received enough transfers from Amanda and, surprisingly, Ravy voters to overtake Dana. Most of Dana's voters transferred to Frauke, allowing her to defeat Lan by 60% to 40%, equalling [[Reda Kazan]]'s [[Gylian presidential election, 1975|1975]] victory margin.


On the final map, Frauke gained majorities in 14 out of 20 regions. Lan's regions — [[Tandar Region|Tandar]], [[Kausania Region|Kausania]], [[Arsad Region|Arsad]], [[Ḑarna Region|Ḑarna]], [[Aðuna Region|Aðuna]], and [[Nerveiík-Iárus-Daláyk Region|Nerveiík-Iárus-Daláyk]] formed a diagonal line running from north-west to south-east across the map, which inspired humorous nicknames.
On the final map, Frauke gained majorities in 12 out of 16 regions. Lan's regions<ref>[[Arsad Region|Arsad]], [[Ḑarna Region|Ḑarna]], [[Aðuna Region|Aðuna]], and [[Nerveiík-Iárus-Daláyk Region|Nerveiík-Iárus-Daláyk]].</ref> formed a diagonal line running south-east across the map, nicknamed "Lan's {{Wpl|dildo}}".

Analysis

Incumbent Ravy Egiði entered the campaign in a reasonable position, having maintained a good popularity throughout his term. However, opinion polls tightened as nomations closed, hinting at a tough fight.

Among the first declared candidates was Dana Tan, former finance minister and incumbent opposition leader. She chose to run hoping it would give Ensemble a boost in that year's regional and municipal elections.[1] Already known for her record as finance minister, Dana chose to base her campaign on foreign policy. She supported deepening the "muscular Gylias" policies of the Latte Revolution and reinforcing the Common Sphere.

The contest was transformed by the entrance of actresses Frauke Stark and Mai Thị Lan. Nominated by Love, Nature, Democracy, Frauke was the richest Gylian to run for the presidency, and was a household name due to her pornographic work. Lan had also built her career on portraying graceful and good-natured "beautiful elite" characters. The two's presence produced the nickname "election of wealth". Francité stalwart Amanda Leloup, contesting her 7th presidential election in a row, completed the field.

The campaign polarised into two unofficial camps. Ravy and Dana were the "serious" candidates, running on policy and their records of public service. Frauke and Lan were the "celebrity" candidates, running joyous campaigns based around socialised luxury and their existing fame. Frauke's campaign mimicked the successful campaigns of Marie-Agnès Delaunay, the richest Prime Minister. She financed her campaign personally, used the internet effectively, and produced polished PPBs with her trademark high production values and cheeky humour.[2] Lan followed a similar approach of highlighting her established public persona, but lacked Frauke's resources.

Opinion polls showed voters split four ways between Ravy, Dana, Frauke, and Lan, with Amanda trailing in last place. Public meetings revealed the polarisation: Ravy and Dana on one side and Frauke and Lan on the other. Each side maintained unofficial "non-aggression pacts", teaming up against their opponents. The Republic described Dana showing the "focused questioning and quiet determination" she showed as opposition leader in the Chamber of Deputies. Ravy's experience as a television presenter proved no match for Frauke and Lan's glamour. However, voters responded well to Dana's "razor-sharp questions and quiet dignity".[3]

In the first round, Frauke won a strong plurality of 40%, leading by over 4 million first preference votes.[4] Dana finished second, with 16,3% of first preference votes. Lan finished third with 16%. In a shock result, Ravy finished fourth with 15%. It was the poorest showing for an incumbent president, and the first time one failed to reach the final count. Amanda finished last.[5]

The first round map showed Ravy's weakness, as he only won a plurality in 3 regions: Nerveiík-Iárus-Daláyk, Ḑarna, and Nauras. Frauke won pluralities only in Mişeyáke and Tandar, but finished second in most other regions. Dana carried the traditional liberal strongholds of Arţia and Elena, and surprisingly won the northern regions of Salxarces and Gecar.[6] Lan won pluralities in 5 regions, the most of the first count candidates.

For the third time since 2007 and 2014, vote transfers changed the final contest. Lan received enough transfers from Amanda and, surprisingly, Ravy voters to overtake Dana. Most of Dana's voters transferred to Frauke, allowing her to defeat Lan by 60% to 40%, equalling Reda Kazan's 1975 victory margin.

On the final map, Frauke gained majorities in 12 out of 16 regions. Lan's regions[7] formed a diagonal line running south-east across the map, nicknamed "Lan's dildo".

Notes

  1. Ravy considered Dana his toughest opponent, on account of her dignified and soft-spoken personality.
  2. Gylians joked that Frauke's campaign was secretly the next installment of her Shopping series.
  3. Dana had a notable impact on her campaign, as the other candidates followed her lead on foreign and defense policy questions.
  4. Her first-count plurality surpassed Carmen Dell'Orefice's 30% in 2014, and was the biggest first-count plurality since Reda Kazan won in the first round of 1961.
  5. Her 11,7% showed a 3% decline in support compared to 2018.
  6. These regions had a traditional leftist orientation but were less inclined towards non-inscrits, and thus favoured Dana as the "serious" candidate.
  7. Arsad, Ḑarna, Aðuna, and Nerveiík-Iárus-Daláyk.
