The 2024 Delamarian General Election was held on May 20th, 2024. Henry Nugent of the Liberal Conservatives won a majority, after previously governing in coalition with the Democrats, who lost more than two thirds of their seats. Parti Columbien lost most of their seats, leaving Social Labour, the FDUP and the Green Party increasing their number of seats.
The election was called by Prime Minister of Delamaria, Henry Nugent, on March 31st, allowing for 50 days of campaigning, the minimum amount under the Legislative Elections Act of 1996. Nugent promoted the election on the basis of the problems in Lysian Columbia, having faced resistance from his Democratic coalition partners on Northern assembly reform.
Background
After the 2023 government formation the Liberal Conservatives under Philip Campbell governed in coalition with the Democrats. Following rioting and rebellion in the north, Campbell proposed abolition of the northern assembly and reforms to state government. These reforms were rejected outright by Hugo Portland, leader of the Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister. The resulting turmoil led to the resignation of Campbell and the subsequent leadership contest, which saw Henry Nugent, the international development secretary, chosen as party leader and Prime Minister.
Nugent proposed moderated reforms to the assembly and state government, however the democrats refused to concede any ground, as they had a party committment to devolution. As a result talks broke down and Nugent decided to call a general election to secure a majority.
