The 1978 Seketese General Election was the first fully democratic election after the 1970 Seketese Revolution and the first since the Kjedorates took power and suspended democratic elections in the 1920's. It was the first election the new pro-democracy Socialist Party (SY) and Democratic Party (DY) ever competeded in.

After a tight three way election, The two biggest pro-democracy parties formed a grand coaltion (SY and DY) along with the Liberal Party. The Kjedorate Party formed Chief Oppostion for the first time in its history, and it was the first time since 1950 that the Kjedorates were not in power. The Labour Party won its lowest amount of seats in it's history, holding onto only small mining towns in rural Seketan. The newly formed National Union Allience won a few seats in the working areas of Conelibek.
