The Vyvlander general election was the tenth in Vyvland since reunification, and was held on the 28th October of that year. It elected all of the 568 voting seats in the Vyvlander Parliament in addition to 6 other seats. The election caused the voting out of the incumbent Socialist-Green-Communist coalition led by Minke Selengborg and the formation of a Liberal-Socialist-Green coalition headed by Vren Dens.

The largest gainers by number of seats were the Liberals, who gained 55, mostly at the expense of the Socialists, who lost 72 after a turbulent term in a broad coalition. The Capitalists gained thirteen more than their 2005 result of 17, thus increasing their vote share over 5% for the first time. The Conservatives remained essentially stable, while the Vyvlander Front lost all their four seats in Parliament after their leader, Anton Eskmanteloim, was charged with racially-motivated assault eleven days before the election, thus losing him his seat.

The 2009 general election was the first after the controversial 2007 Parliament redistricting, which reduced the number of seats in the house by 12 and removed the previous system whereby smaller provinces received a marginally greater number of seats in proportion to their population.
