2021 K'undzeti Elections: Difference between revisions

| nominee2 = Maia Smit’iGherishvili

The '''2021 K'undzetian Chancellery Election''' was held on the 1st of July, with a runoff between the two most successful candidates taking place on the 17th, owing to the lack of an absolute majority during the first round. Provisional Chancellor and Commonwealth Party Leader Mikhail Zetali stood as the de facto incumbent, standing against Freedom & Welfare Candidate Maia Smit’iGherishvili in the runoff. Zetali won the runoff by a wide margin, with an over 30% difference in votes between the two. The first round saw Zetali ahead amongst the six candidates, though falling around 8% of a majority, which can be attributed to the two candidates which leaned further right than Zetali, being Hendrik Cruyff of the Unionist Reconciliation Alliance with around 6.5% and Ioseb Gelashvili of the Verk'ohist Revival Party with an impressive result of almost 18%, performing quite a substantial amount better than polls would've suggested due to his flirtations with the far right. Smit’iGherishvili, however, could not effectively take advantage of the divide amongst the right, with her 22% a disappointing result for the K'undzetian Left, even when taking into account fellow Leftist Candidate Seyn Pisheri representing the Eco-Socialist 'Our People, Our Planet' who received a not unsubstantial 10.29% of the vote. Also standing in the first round was Independent Candidate Priyono, who ran on the stance of pushing forward the interests of the Zetian Population, who felt excluded and left to the side by the Provisional Government and the Constitution. Priyono and Cruyff struggled immensely due to their ethnically limited base, both unable to effectively reach outside their core base of the Zetian and Vistarian ethnic groups.
