Leader before election

Elected Leader

Harun Lunsdzhura

Following a near-defeat at the 2017 Aduraszna General Election, in which the incumbent 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.
