Election Results November 2771
Independent parties make gains
The Urban Party of Kirlawa, the Orangeists (returning from their recent dormancy), and the Liberal Party are celebrating a successful 2771 campaign, each having gained seats in both the General Assembly and in the Senate.
Each of these three has also won one of Kirlawa's provincial governorships, the other two being retained by the Kirlawan People's Justice Party.
Meanwhile, the formerly independent Strong Republic Party have joined the Free Market Coalition, with current members the Democratic Freedom Movement and the Kirlawan Austrian Party. The rival Leftist Coalition, whose currently active members are the KPJP and the Christian Socialist Movement, are likewise seeking new members to counterbalance this.

Presidency
The UPK and the Liberal Party, instead of running their own candidates this time, gave their support to the KAP's Elizabeth Crowell, boosting her past the CSM's incumbent President Simon Crossley in their third matchup. President Crowell was also endorsed by the DFM and SRP and Orangeists, while former President Crossley was endorsed by the KPJP.
General Assembly
The Orangeists, and to a lesser extent the other independents, gained Assembly seats from the coalition parties, who lost roughly similar shares.
The Liberal Party received over a million more votes than the Orangeists, yet this brought them three fewer Assembly seats; perhaps due to most of the Liberals' votes having come from Dirguzia, a province which had very high turnout this election.
Leftist Coalition 268 (-36): Kirlawan People's Justice Party 192 (-24), Christian Socialist Movement 76 (-12)
Free Market Coalition 261 (+42): Democratic Freedom Movement 115 (-18), Strong Republic Party 83 (nc), Kirlawan Austrian Party 63 (-23)

Urban Party of Kirlawa 89 (+14)
Orangeists 51 (+51)
The Liberal Party 48 (+12)
Senate
Each of the independent parties (plus the previously-independent SRP) won a few Senate seats from the coalitions, but overall changes were gradual, and the LC still hold a coalition majority.
LC 53 (-6): KPJP 45 (-5), CSM 8 (-1)
FMC 30 (+3): DFM 16 (-3), SRP 9 (+2), KAP 5 (-3)
Independents:
UPK 10 (+4)

Provincial Assemblies
Governors
Uwakah: Leyla Doyle (KPJP)
Dirguzia: to be nominated by The Liberal Party
Nuchtmark: Beatrice Greene (KPJP)
Dirlana: Iain Jakobs (Orangeists)
Merkan: Jean-Michael Ovendorf (UPK)
Uwakah
The fuchsia-cerise and Governor Leyla Doyle still hold an almost two-thirds majority in Uwakah's provincial legislature, despite losing some seats to the DFM and SRP.
LC 67 (-10): KPJP 65 (-10), CSM 2 (nc)
FMC 31 (+14): DFM 23 (+7), SRP 7 (+3), KAP 1 (nc)
UPK 2 (nc)
Dirguzia
Oddly, over five million more votes were cast in Dirguzia than in Uwakah, despite Uwakah's larger total population.
KPJP lost seats here mostly to the UPK, and DFM mostly to the SRP and KAP.
The growing Liberals are now the largest single party here and have claimed the governorship.
LC 30 (-11): KPJP 22 (-11), CSM 8 (nc)
FMC 29 (+9): SRP 18 (+8), KAP 6 (+2), DFM 5 (-11)
Liberal 28 (+3)
UPK 13 (+9)
Nuchtmark
Changes here were minor. The KPJP and Governor Beatrice Greene have retained their majority, a few seats of their seats going to the SRP and the Liberals.
LC 73 (-5): KPJP 59 (-5), CSM 14 (nc)
FMC 21 (+6): SRP 8 (+3), DFM 7 (-1), KAP 6 (-1)
Liberal 4 (+3)
UPK 2 (+1)
Dirlana
The Orangeists have returned with a vengeance, jumping all the way to the top and reclaiming the governorship for Iain Jakobs who had held this office decades before, in this conservative province where they had concentrated their campaigning.
FMC 37 (-15): DFM 28 (-10), KAP 9 (-5)
Orangeists 29 (+29)
LC 19 (-13): KPJP 13 (-5), CSM 6 (-8)
UPK 14 (-2)
Liberal 1 (+1)
Merkan
Merkan's recent volatility continues, as the voters have selected the UPK and new Governor Jean-Michael Ovendorf, succeeding the SRP's single term.
The KAP, the largest party here as recently as 2764 and having held the governorship many times before then, have fallen to three seats.
In a weird twist, the KPJP lost seats everywhere else yet gained here, even though this populist, socialist, nationalist party is generally seen as a mismatch for Kirlawa's most libertarian region.
UPK 30 (+16)
LC 29 (+5): KPJP 26 (+8), CSM 3 (-3)
FMC 28 (-2): SRP 14 (-18), DFM 11 (+2), KAP 3 (-18)
Orangeists 13 (+13)
