Elected President

TBD

The next Villorian presidential election is scheduled to be held no later than 14th April 2026. Villoria-Fleetland uses a runoff election system, in which the two candidates with the highest percentage in the first vote advance to a second round of voting if no candidate receives more than half of the vote (In such case, the candidate in 2nd place will form the official opposition).

Background

On November 8th 2020, Zoe Jay (running with the now defunct Labour Party) defeated incumbent president Matt Costa in the only democratic election held in the USSV prior to it's collapse. Subsequently, at the 2022 election- Zoe Jay won a second term, the only president to have done so in the history of Villoria. She resigned on February 15th 2023, leading to Roxanne C being confirmed as President the next day, and inaugurated on the 17th.

On April 13th 2024, President Roxanne C announced her resignation as both President and MP for Fleetland due to the dispute in the Fleetish-speaking areas of the country. Former Vice President Tristain Wilson ran for President under the LWP, winning the 2024 election with 42% of the vote- therefore becoming the first male president since 2018.

Matt Costa resigned as the leader of the Green Party on May 31st 2024. James Davidson, the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, was later announced as the new leader of the party.
