In the final count, Gianna generally gained transfers from Ilona and Françoise voters, while Senea generally gained transfers from Brigitte voters. Gianna attracted more transfers from Brigitte and Alike voters than expected, which analysts attributed to her presentation as a [[Róisín Ní Bradáin|"Róisínist"]] leftist. Gianna increased her already comfortable victory margin from 1991, with 56,5% to Senea's 43,5%.
 
Anina gained Françoise and Ilona's regions, which appeared on the map as a sweep of the eastern coast, while Senea gained Alike and Brigitte's regions, which appeared as a sweep of the western coast except for [[Sváen Region|Sváen]]. The results in [[Arxaþ Region|Arxaþ]] and [[Alţira Region|Alţira]] were very close, leading some commentators to speculate that Senea winning them would've carried her to the presidency. As it was, Anina won re-election with 51,2% of the final vote to Senea's 48,8% – only a 0,4% difference compared to the final round of 1991.

A presidential election was held in Gylias on 22 January 1995.

Analysis

This was the only presidential election to fall on the same date as a federal election. The government adopted special regulations to alternate campaign days, but the concurrence still provoked fears that the presidential election would be overshadowed or affected by the federal one. This gave the presidential campaign something of a lower profile than usual.

In the first count, incumbent Gianna Calderara slightly improved on her 1991 performance, increasing her first preference vote by 2,3%. National Bloc candidate Senea Lieni came second, with 16,2% of the vote and pluralities in four regions — although notably not Tomes, which she had been governor of, and where she came second.

Incumbent minister Ilona Stahler capitalised on the strong sympathy vote caused by Moana Pozzi's death, finishing third overall with pluralities in Nezyál and Sváen — although narrowly beaten by Gianna in Mişeyáke. As the foresitter of Love, Nature, Democracy after Moana's death, she was the only one to benefit from the simultaneous federal and presidential elections.

Alike Demetriou's performance was a surprise, since she'd registered as a lark. Although her campaign was officially focused on cultural policy, it actually revolved around the playfully nostalgic persona she had perfected in her acting career. The knowingly elegiac tone of her campaign unexpectedly struck a chord amidst the atmosphere of national optimism and nostalgia for Groovy Gylias, leading to a fourth place finish with pluralities on the western coast.

She also took the role Moana had fulfiled in 1991 as the staunchly unilingual candidate. One popular campaign stunt was appearing in a segment of The Havomar Report, in which she discussed her candidacy in Hellene while her interviewer sagely nodded despite not understanding her at all.

Françoise Chatelain's gains continued, with a 1,3% increase in first preference votes. She won pluralities in Arxaþ, Alţira, and Herlan, benefiting from the absence of an official liberal candidate. Brigitte Nyman finished sixth, with a still respectable 10,4% of first preference votes and pluralities in Nauras and Ḑarna. She was the first candidate to be endorsed by the Green Party, which mainly focused on legislative elections, but her campaign was based on her signature issue of animal rights.

In the final count, Gianna generally gained transfers from Ilona and Françoise voters, while Senea generally gained transfers from Brigitte voters. Gianna attracted more transfers from Brigitte and Alike voters than expected, which analysts attributed to her presentation as a "Róisínist" leftist. Gianna increased her already comfortable victory margin from 1991, with 56,5% to Senea's 43,5%.
