The '''September 2025 general elections''' were held on September 14, 2025 to elect all 251 seats in the [[National Assembly|Republican National Assembly]] and to elect the [[President of the Republic]]. They were the first held under the [[Constitution of the Republic#Current constitution|new constitution]] enacted on August 31, and the first democratic elections held after the [[July days|July Coup]]. In the Presidential elections, the [[Forward Party]] nominated [[Prime Minister of the Republic|Prime Minister]] [[Joe Biden’s Husband]], while the [[Ministry of Records|Minister of Records]], [[William F. Galvin]], left the party to run as an independent candidate. The [[Democratic Progressive Party|DPP]] nominated [[Michelle Wu]]. In the Presidential election, independent candidate William F. Galvin narrowly defeated Michelle Wu and Joe Biden’s Husband and became President after running on a centrist and technocratic platform. In the parliamentary election, each party ran on their own list. The ruling Forward Party won the election, earning around 30% and 82 seats, and was given the first mandate to form a government. The Democratic Progressive Party won second place, with 22% and 62 seats. The [[Pro-constitution bloc|constitutional bloc]], led by FWD along with the [[Kuomintang|KMT]], [[Momentum-Unity|MO-U]], and [[Reform Party|R]], won a combined 141 seats, gaining a majority over the [[Anti-constitution bloc|anti-constitutional bloc]] ([[Democratic Progressive|DPP]], [[Momentum-Unity|MO-FR]], [[Orchid Party|OP]], [[Alternative for Germany|AfD]], [[Relationist Party of the Radical Left|RPRL]]), which won 110 seats. A coalition led by the Forward Party and including the Kuomintang and Momentum-Unity was formed.<ref>Docsdotky Master Document</ref>

The Presidential campaign season began a couple weeks before the election. One of the first candidates to declare was [[Joe Biden's Husband]], who had been interim [[Prime Minister]] since the [[July coup]]. The main opposition party, the [[Democratic Progressive Party|DPP]], decided not to nominate its popular party leader, former Prime Minister [[Tsai Ing-wen]]. Instead, they nominated mayor of Republic City [[Michelle Wu]]. JBH ran a campaign that was seen as unenthusiastic, with people not believing him to be very charismatic.<ref>US Politics. History. Current events.</ref> He heavily leaned into the government's successful implementation of the new constitution and implementation of the new "Future Records" system. Wu campaigned as a fierce opponent of the regime, which helped coalesce the anti-constitution vote around his candidacy. A wrench was thrown into the mix when [[Ministry of Records|Minister of Records]] [[William F. Galvin]] resigned from the Forward Party and from his cabinet portfolio in order to launch an independent candidacy. He heavily campaigned on being a moderate who could bridge the gaps between the two increasingly polarized camps. He faced multiple assassination attempts, which he defeated using his lazers, causing several million casualties. His campaign was seen as refreshingly positive, with him barely mentioning his opponents, much less attacking them. Polling leading up to the election showed an essentially tied 3 way race, with William F. Galvin narrowly ahead. In the final days of the campaign, William F. Galvin was appointed leader of Burkina Faso in a military coup which he had no involvement in. However, the new junta was overthrown in a counter-coup before he could get to Burkina Faso. [[Elections Moldova#Vladimir Voronin|Vladimir Voronin]], head of [[Elections Moldova]] (the company which runs elections), killed all members of the press during a press conference. As a result, a [[press repopulation program]] had to be created, followed by a one child policy after too many members of the press were created.<ref>Discord DMs</ref> In the end, JBH narrowly won the first count. However, as counting progressed, all three candidates led at different points throughout election night. Hours into counting, Elections Moldova declared William F. Galvin the winner after Wu was eliminated, with her voters overwhelmingly ranking William F. Galvin above JBH. In the aftermath, the FWD Executive Council removed JBH as party leader for his failure to win the election, and [[Abu Muhammad al-Julani]] won the [[September 2025 Forward Party leadership election|subsequent leadership election]].

== Parliamentary campaign ==

On August 24, political parties were allowed to return to operation in order to campaign for the upcoming election. FWD led in opinion polls throughout the campaign. In addition, the DPP was in second place for the entire campaign. The DPP generally continued the campaign from the Constitutional Referendum, campaigning on ending the new constitution and a return to the old one. FWD, on the other hand, focused on the "future records" initiative which they had implemented. In the end, FWD won the elections with about 30% of the vote, with the DPP at a distant 22%. FWD formed a government with the KMT and MO-U, the 3rd and 4th place finishers.
