A general election was held in Caldia on 12 June 2022 to elect all 399 members of the Tionól. The Social Democratic Party won the largest share of the votes and overall seats.

Overall, the election saw gains for many of the other parties in the Tionól at the expense of the Social Democratic Party. The PSD saw a drop in its seat count and vote share after a historic showing in 2019. Stiofán Mac Suibhne, the incumbent Taoiseach of Caldia, returned to lead a minority government with the support of the Centre Party and the Democratic Left.

Background

The 2019 general election saw the Social Democratic Party win a majority of seats and form their first government in almost 20 years. The PSD won 218 seats with 48.8% of the vote. Stiofán Mac Suibhne became the taoiseach and has held the post since. The office opposition, led by Pádraig Mac Piarais of the Liberty Party, won 89 seats. Other opposition parties included the National Party, the Centre Party, the Labour Party (now Democratic Left), the Greens, Caldish Democrats, the Pensioners' Party, and Homeland. Two Independents were also elected.
