The 2024 Norlansia general election was held on January 24th, 2024, to elect members of Parliament of Norlansia. The New Unity Party won a landslide victory with a majority of 73 seats, a net gain of 8, on 53.6% of the popular vote, the highest percentage for any party since the 1979 general election. Having failed to gain a majority in the 2020 election, the Conservative Party (Norlansia) were forced to form a minority coalition with the NDP and Populists while New Unity held a slim 2-seat majority. Vitālija Liepiņa's election in 2020, having cycled out Conservative PM Radvilis Brunkevičs, refused calls to order a snap election and opted to wait for the constitutional date. The Conservatives chose their party leader, Ornets Brunkevičs, to run for Prime Minister against Liepiņa.
New Unity picked up 8 seats and widened their majority in parliament to 73, while the Conservatives had a net loss of 4 for a total of 49. The NDP won 3 seats, while the Populist Party only held one. The Conservatives, NDP, and Populist thus formed another minority coalition.
