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 Galvin narrowly ahead. 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 Galvin the winner after Wu was eliminated, with her voters overwhelmingly ranking 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]].
