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.
