On September 14, 2025, the [[September 2025 general election|first free general elections]] since the [[The Republic#July days, FWD dictatorship, and new Constitution|July Days]] were held. The elections resulted in a victory for Forward, the party which had led the authoritarian regime after the coup, which won 30% of the vote and 82 seats. After two days of government negotiations hosted by newly-elected President William F. Galvin at the [[Presidential Palace]], the party formed a coalition government with the [[Kuomintang]] and [[Momentum-Unity]], two parties which had been a party of the [[pro-constitution bloc]]. Besides the office of the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, FWD was given 5 cabinet positions, the KMT was given 3, and MO-U was given 3. The [[National Assembly]] formally gave their confidence to the new government in a party line vote, and the cabinet began its operations.

 

The first point in the government's joint manifesto was resuming normal operations for institutions. It is thought that Julani personally wrote that part of the manifesto. The coalition attempted to legitimize itself as a democratic government, and to legitimize the new democracy in the eyes of the people. Many supporters of the opposition did not see the new order as a system with the same level of democracy as the old. Indeed, the new powers of the [[Senate]] and [[Constitutional Court]] heavily limited the people's influence in governance. The government made moves to claw back powers from the Senate where they could.

 

As time went on, the coalition made a noticeable shift towards the center. Forward began to lean into its perception as a centrist party. Under MO-U minister [[Ehud Olmert]], the [[Ministry of Recreation]] was given more power in scheduling, a task where responsibility is shared between multiple cabinet ministries along with [[Elections Moldova]]. The Ministry made multiple popular decisions which increased the size of the left-wing stronghold [[Downtime Constituency]]. However, these moves were not universally popular within the cabinet.

 

The pivot to the center was strongly opposed by Forward's partner, the KMT. To a lesser extent, some parts of FWD also opposed the move towards the center, led by [[Mario Draghi]], who played a major role in Forward's right wing economic policies during the party's authoritarian days. KMT leader [[Peter Dutton]] began publicly criticizing the policies of his own government. The tensions came to a head when the KMT proposed an increase in the size of the [[Labor Constituency]]. This proposal was divisive within the cabinet, and the intra-cabinet vote looked as though it would be close. However, the public opposition of Minister of Labor [[Andrew Yang]] turned public opinion against the proposal, which was unpopular within the constituency it targeted. This outraged the KMT and the right wing of FWD, who called for his dismissal.

 

On September 30, 2025, Prime Minister Julani announced that he was sacking Andrew Yang. He cited the mismanagement of the Ministry, which had gone through a minor scandal earlier that day after multiple poor decisions, and also cited a lack of commitment to institutions. However, the firing is widely seen as an olive branch to the right-wing of the cabinet. That perception was re-enforced when Julani announced Yang's replacement: [[Rudy Juliani]]. A right wing stalwart, Juliani had retired from politics in March of 2025. He had been a member of [[Reform Party|Reform]]. He did not formally leave his party, stating that he "would only leave the party if it interferes with his duty to run the institution well". The appointment sparked large protests in the Labor Constituency, with protesters fearing an increase to the amount of time allocated to the constituency, since Juliani had previously advocated for major time increases for Labor. Juliani was sworn in by President William F. Galvin later that day. The next day, 2 MPs from MO-U crossed the floor and left the government to join [[Momentum-Free Republic|MO-FR]] in protest of Yang's firing.
