May 2020 / 3rd Presidential Election

The 3rd Presidential Election began on May 29th, 2020, and ended on May 30th, 2020. This election there were no primaries, and three candidates unopposed in each of their parties. Former Representative Peter Griffin emerged as The Centre-Right Coalition, and opposing him was Benjamin from The Social Democratic Alliance. However, soon the CRC was abolished, and both major party candidates dropped out of the race the day before the election. With a power vacuum enabled, four candidates entered the race in total.

With Benjamin dropping out of the race, he also resigned as President, making SpaceDragon the Fourth President of the Capital Republic, allowing Space to then enter the race. SpaceDragon, now the Centrist Party Chair, was from the new Enlightenment Alliance, made up of some of the parties from the now gone CRC. Toaster, SpaceDragon's VP, ran against him, but they both had each other as their VP pick. Medvedev, from the National People's Party, ran as an independent for President, not gaining much press attention.

Another noteworthy candidate would be that of MRLOcelot23. A newcomer to a political race, he used heavy rhetoric against former President Yang, and campaigned hard to gain votes, even lying to some voters about how much time they had to vote. His use of rhetoric was not only targeted at Yang, but at his opponents who he all called Communists, Establishment Politicians, and even accused SpaceDragon of potentially rigging the election.
