Collective Council Election

This was the first election ever held in Aminian history, to elect the Collective Council of the Transitional Republic of Amin. They ended in a victory for the LDP-SDP-DR alliance.

Background
This was the first election held in Aminian history, called just as the US troops were withdrawing. The election elected the first Collective Council, whose sole purpose was to write the constitution. This election was fought on that basis, with the notable presence of militias rising up in the country to replace US military control. The election was run on a regional winner takes all voting system, so whoever won the most votes in a region, won all seats allocated to it. Due to the great population disparity between regions, smaller regions were given a disproportionately large number of seats.

Seat allocations in the provisional elections:

North - 26 seats

Zohin - 9 seats

Eastern Isles - 11 seats

Southern Isles - 10 seats

Southeast - 13 seats

Southwest - 25 seats

Central - 66 seats

East - 11 seats

Northwest - 17 seats

Western Isles - 12 seats

Campaigning
Throughout the campaign, many parties campaigned solely on how they would like to see the constitution, and those that did suffered in the polls for it. The campaign was fought quite bitterly, with allegations of anti democratic behaviour being thrown at the LDP, SDP and DR, especially following their formation of a centrist electoral alliance to contest the election. Parties, primarily the CPA, accused them of having no principles, and also of being undemocratic, due to the fact that many of those centrist parties were opposed to a democratic referendum on the final constitution. This lack of democracy plagued the election campaigning, leading to a major split in the SDP, as their leader, Jessica Cyronax left with her followers to form a new party, the DLP. Many centrists and left wingers formed an organisation called the Association of National Republicans, which laid the groundwork for the eventual Vaziri Coup.

The campaigning between the GOL and SIP was particularly brutal, as the parties began a fierce rivalry, even calling for the deaths of each other's leaders.
