Anticipating the impending abdication of Nathan II due to the Bovic schism agreements, Chancellor Teimuraz announced he would call for new Frenzy elections during the first month of 1679, hoping that the king's abdication would result in a higher voter turnout for his party. The new Frenzy would be in place before Nathan II's abdication at the end of 1679 and would be able to have stronger "public mandate" and control over the outgoing king, the new governor-general, and the new king John Waffel-Paine.

The Solidarity Party and BBP announced a stronger coalition and several new policies that would make the elections of 1679 more focused on Drak-Modani policies and less so on the divisive issue of Natopianization. Although the king himself was popular, the implication that Drak-Modan was a Natopian puppet state lingered over many Drak-Modani people, giving rise to the MPU and BfB parties. The Alliance for Solidarity and Support would now be able to advocate for a more equitable and pragmatic bilateral relationship with Natopia after the personal union ends.

Early polling shows voters are wary of the MPU's perceived lack of support for the Raspur Pact. A majority of older Drak-Modani who lived under Shireroth, report that Raspur Pact membership protections are important now that Modan is not an integral component of the Shirerithian empire and that Raspur Pact membership is "critical" or "very important" to Drak-Modan's long-term survival, stability, and prosperity.

Two months before the elections were scheduled to take place, the MPU softened its stance on the Raspur Pact, publicly announcing that it would not seek to remove Drak-Modan from the Pact and that a MPU-led government would uphold the Pact and support Raspur allies. Within several weeks of this announcement, polling indicated that support for the Solidarity Party was collapsing as a result single-issue pro-Raspur voters leaving the party in favor of the MPU. To help prevent a total loss of support, the Solidarity Party hardened its stance on getting tougher on Natopia, this alienated the party's base, which began to shift towards the Bagelcratican Party. The MPU subsequently went on to formalise an affiliation agreement with the global N&H movement on the basis of its revised stance concerning the Raspur Pact.

Most pollsters now placed the MPU at about 50% support, the Bagelcraticans surging towards 15% (up from 5%), and the Solidarity Party falling to 25% and the far-right Benacia for Benacians Party holding its solid 10% base.
