On January 1, 2022, incumbent President [[Cal Aderhall]] announced during a {{wp|New Year's Day|New Year's Day}} address that he would be seeking reelection to a second term of office. On June 17, 2022, the [[Tripartite Nationalist Coalition]]'s [[TNC National Council|National Council]] passed a resolution that cancelled any 2023 TNC {{wp|Primary election|primary election}} or {{wp|caucus}} in which the incumbent was seeking reelection. The move was widely criticized outside the TNC as anti-democratic and authoritarian. While some members of the [[National Republican Party (Rizealand)|National Republican Party]] like Fed Councilors [[Sotiropher McCarthy]], [[Nathan Cox]], and [[Benjamin Caffrey]] publicly condemned the move, Aderhall stated the move was necessary to conserve the coalition's resources by preventing expensive and prolonged primaries that could weaken the coalition's standing in {{wp|Swing state|swing states}} like [[Providence (state)|Providence]]. As a result, Aderhall was unopposed due to the absence of any primaries or caucuses and was nominated for a second term by the TNC's [[2023 TNC National Convention|national convention]] on June 22, 2023. Aderhall's running mate, [[Neil Harper]], was also nominated for a second term as [[Deputy President of Rizealand|deputy president]]. | |||

From February 2023 to May 2023, the [[National Progress Coalition]] held a series of {{wp|Primary election|primary elections}} in all nine [[States of Rizealand|states]] and two [[Territories of Rizealand|territories]] of Rizealand as well as in the [[Onnohou Nation]] to select the NPC's nominee for president. A total of fourteen candidates sought the NPC presidential nomination, including three governors ([[Laura Wahl]], [[Marci Shaw]], [[Emanuel Rodriguez]]), three [[House of Representatives of Rizealand|federal representatives]] ([[Tony Francesco]], [[Elliot Carr]], [[Philip Lindroth]]), a [[Federation Council of Rizealand|federal councilor]] ([[Marcela Carbajal Noboa]]), a former [[Cabinet of Rizealand|cabinet secretary]] ([[Grace Chen]]), a former [[Attorney General of the Federation|attorney general]] ([[Barbara Ward]]), a state legislator ([[Ricardo Correa]]), a mayor ([[Ken Pearson]]), and a former city councilmember ([[Anita Pernet]]). Other candidates with no elected experience included two environmental activists ([[Stefan Forslund]] annd [[Tinesha Hart]]), a non-profit founder ([[Lola West]]), a CEO ([[Polina Karpenko]]), and an actor ([[Deshawn Norman]]). The political affiliation of the candidates included eight [[New Democrats Party (Rizealand)|New Democrats]], five [[Democrats Party (Rizealand)|Democrats]], and four [[Green Party (Rizealand)|Greens]]. | |||
Prior to the start of primaries on February 4, 2023, six candidates ended their campaigns, including Carr, Lindroth, Carbajal Noboa, Correa, Pearson, and West. During the first round of primaries, six more ended their candidacies, including Chen, Shaw, Rodriguez, Karpenko, Forslund, and Hart. While Norman, Wahl, and Ward emerged as the frontrunners with the most votes, the first round of primaries ended on April 8 with no candidate receiving more then fifty percent of the vote. As a result, the two candidates with the highest percentages of the vote, Ward at 37.86% and Norman at 22.68%, advanced to face each other in a nationwide {{wp|Two-round system|runoff}} primary on May 27, 2023. After receiving 5,883,934 votes or 60.97% of the runoff primary votes, Ward defeated Norman and became the NPC's {{wp|Presidential_nominee#Presumptive_nominee|presumptive nominee}} for president. | |||
Following Ward's victory in the May 27 runoff primary and prior to the start of the [[2023 NPC National Convention]] on June 12, 2023, Ward began the process of selecting a nominee for [[Deputy President of Rizealand|deputy president]]. On June 1, Ward's reported shortlist for deputy president included Rodriguez, [[Logan Walsh]] ([[Federation Council of Rizealand|Fed councilor]] from [[Lothicania|Astoria]]), [[Oscar Willis]] (Fed councilor from [[Providence (state)|Providence]]), Chen, [[Anthony Cooke]] ([[Mayor of Los Santos|Los Santos mayor]]), [[Joe Davidson]] (Fed councilor from [[Assimia]]), Shaw, Norman, [[Daniel Riggs]] ([[Mayor of Liberty City|Liberty City mayor]]), and [[Zoey Hagan]] ([[Governor of Astoria]]). Wahl, Carbajal Noboa, and [[Gabriela Romero]] (Fed councilor from [[San Andreas]]) all reportedly declined an invitation to be considered for deputy president. By June 9, Ward reportedly narrowed the possible candidates down to Rodriguez, Willis, Davidson, Norman, Riggs, and Hagan. On June 11, Ward announced she was selecting Oscar Willis as her nominee for deputy president. | |||
