The 2022 Federated Fire Territories general election concluded on 2022, three years after the previous general election in 2019. The previous coalition government, consisting of Republican, Liberal, and Independent parties, lost its position principally due to a collapse in Republican support. The resulting change allowed a new coalition government to form, led by the Conservatives, which enjoyed a sizable boost in its elected membership. Although no single party held an outright majority, this snap election, which occurred outside of the typical 5-year cycle, reversed the long-standing trend of stratification, with Conservatives attaining 33% of seats – the highest of any party in decades.
Taking place during the latter stages of the Second Pan-Septentrion War, the general election resulted from a lost no-confidence vote in the incumbent coalition, which had failed to secure public confidence during the war. Although the incumbent government had pledged to undertake several responses to the war, the diverse coalition faltered under combined Liberal and Conservative pressure, which both pressed drastically different calls for action. The resulting coalition action strategy was heavily criticised, both at home and abroad, for its disjointed and, at times, seemingly unproportionate responses – with one Menghean newspaper coining the term "strategic bemusement." Following the string of poorly received responses to the ongoing war, Republican support collapsed, and the incumbent coalition devolved into infighting, ultimately leading to the vote of no confidence.
