Following a near-defeat at the [[2017 Aduraszna General Election]], in which the incumbent [[List of Prime Ministers of Aduraszna|prime minister]] Kasran Felaits's leadership had resulted in a two-party swing of 3% away from [[ReNDaF]], which led to the loss of 22 seats, bringing the government's majority from 48 down to 4, rumours of discontent in the parliamentary caucus had dogged Felaits's third term. This culminated in a public and profanity-laden argument caught and broadcast live on ASGTV between Felaits and Laru'as Tsalkirsz, a ReNDaF backbencher, which led directly to a leadership spill in which Felaits narrowly lost his position as leader of the party (and therefore prime minister) to a moderate challenger, [[Harun Lunsdzhura]].
In
Just as in the [[Aszar Chamber of Representatives|Chamber of Representatives]] as a whole, the 2017 election saw the ko'Zhailrei faction's majority in the party slashed from fairly solid to very much defeatable, given even a small number of defectors, mostly due to the fact that most of the ReNDaF MPs who lost their seats in 2017 came from marginal seats that had been taken from AK/ER in [[2014 Aduraszna General Election|2014]]. Candidates in seats not controlled by ReNDaF are selected directly by the leader's team, which in 2014 meant Felaits's ko'Zhailrei team, which selected candidates from its own faction.
