2420 Empherias general election

The 2420 Empherias general election was held on 1 May 2420, to elect 600 members to the Empherias House of Parliament. It resulted in the incumbent Socialist party winning a parliamentary majority of 166 seats. It was the first election since the 2393 general election where the Populists did not take part, having dissolved in 2417. It was the second consecutive majority government, and only the second since the 2395 revolution. It was the first time since the 2407 general election where the election took place approximately five years after the previous. Elizabeth Rose was re-elected as Prime Minister for her third term.

Background
Elizabeth Rose scheduled a regular general election to take place four years and five months after the previous election. It was under Rose that it was established that elections that are regular should take place in May, and so it was decided that a date in May 2421 would surpass the five year gap between elections.
