Results

  • Vera Sy becomes Assistant-elect, but Renaldo Chang disputes this. He states that he should have been on the major ballot, but was left out because of his position as Secretary of State. Due to the unimpeachment of Chelsea Chen by the Executive Council, he is removed from the Upper Executive Council during the election.
    • While Vera Sy and Tessa Huffmire both were against the ruling, the Supreme Court ruled in Renaldo's favor, giving him a right to the position of Assistant to the Council until the next election.

2023

Ninth election - 28 March 2023

Main article: 2023 Gaplan legislative election

Candidates for presidential election

A special presidential election due to the impeachment of Emma Bunnell for inactivity, she was later acquitted through Federal Proposition 2023-100, and the results of the presidential election were nullified.

Candidates for the legislative election

Due to late registration, the major party of the People's Liberal Party was unable to participate in the election.

This led to widespread electoral boycotts and a sweeping of the remaining leftist votes to the SRP.

  • Free Rightist Party, speaker: Wyatt Baek
    • In alliance with the AMASH Party

Full results, proposition (overturned presidential)

REFERENDUM: Proposition 2023-100

If this proposition is passed, Emma Bunnell will remain the President of the Federated States of Gapla even after her impeachment for inactivity, but Gapla will in reality be governed by a Transitional Council, formed of Wyatt Baek, Chelsea Chen, and Nicolas Wiedemann. This is to ensure that Gapla is governed by a capable government as it is the opinion of the writers of this proposition that none of the contestants for the office of President are qualified. Decisions usually made in the executive will need a majority in the Transitional Council to pass. New members may be added by a unanimous vote in the Transitional Council. This proposition lasts until the next general election.

Tenth election - 29 September 2023

Main article: 2023 Gaplan general election

Candidates for presidential election

As Emma Bunnell was guaranteed the Presidency for another term due to Excelsioran interference in prior elections in favor of Chelsea Chen, only the Deputy Presidential seat was contested. The parties which decided to participate elected their candidates for Deputy President as follows:

Candidates for the legislative election

Again due to to late registration, the major party of the People's Liberal Party was unable to participate in the election, making it extraparliamentary. The Socialist Republic Party took the role of the left-wing party that campaigned on a basis of pan-leftist ideologies when competing with the heavily dominant right-wing FRP and AMASH parties.

  • Free Rightist Party, speaker: Wyatt Baek
    • In alliance with the AMASH Party
  • Socialist Republic Party, speaker: Max Barrows
  • AMASH Party, speaker: Dheer Patel
    • In alliance with the Free Rightist Party

The Gaplan Democracy Union registered for the legislative elections, but was declared ineligible after its party was dissolved for insufficient membership.

Full results, presidential

The presidential election was done through an instant-runoff system, in which voters ranked the candidates in the order of their choice, and the least-voted candidate was eliminated, with their votes passing on to the next candidates, and so on and so forth, until the winner has a majority.

The votes in the first round divided as follows. The Socialist Republic Party had an unexpected remarkably good performance in the first round in a predominantly right-wing country due to sweeping the left-wing votes and centrist supporters of Chelsea Chen through their pan-leftist campaigning, as well as the AMASH Party, an alternative right-wing party, splitting the vote.

Candidate Party Votes %
Renaldo Chang Free Rightist Party 43 36.44%
Connor Hetner Socialist Republic Party 41 34.75%
Gabe Itchez AMASH Party 34 28.81%
Votes Counted 118 100.00%

The votes in the second round, after the AMASH Party was eliminated, divided as follows. The AMASH vote went predominantly to the Free Rightist Party, as expected.

Candidate Party Votes %
Renaldo Chang Free Rightist Party 68 57.63%
Connor Hetner Socialist Republic Party 50 42.37%
Votes Counted 118 100.00%

The election was widely projected to be won by Renaldo Chang as the FRP nominee, but the margin was smaller than expected in the predominantly right-wing country, likely due to negative images of Renaldo Chang throughout Gapla for his right-wing, Christian fundamentalist extremism.

Full results, legislative (party-list proportional representation)

Only eight seats were elected through proportional representation:
