The 11th general election in Kaona was be held on the 30th December 2021 to elect both the president and the National Assembly with a second round being held on the 14th January. Under the Kaonese constitution, the president is restricted to two four-year terms in office meaning the incumbent president Lursakdi Sonakul was ineligible to run for a third term.
Former premier Kongsampong Khumpai of the centre-right Chart Pattana Party won the presidential elections with the CPP emerging as the largest party in parliament. The PDP which had won the presidency in the last two elections and maintained a majority in parliament lost support both to the CPP and two more leftist alternatives, the far-left Socialist Masses Party and liberal Phak Mahachon.

Since the 1981 presidential election presidents in Kaona are elected in a two-round system in which if a candidate does not achieve 50%+ of the vote in the first round the candidates with the two highest percentage of the vote will enter a second round. President's can serve a maximum of two four year terms, meaning incumbent president Lursakdi Sonakul is not eligible for re-election.
