The 1715 Çakaristan elections were the third Grand Vizier elections since the restoration of the Çakar Empire. In these elections, the number of electoral votes and available seats in the Majlis al-Shuyukh had increased. This was due to the incorporation of Jaguda, Kadim, Kyazilkai and Nuristan.
Dervish Çelebi ran for his second term on behalf of United Green. This time he had Aytac Kizilkaya as his opponent, on behalf of the Party for Unity of Craitists.
Grand Vizier election
Article 4.1 of the Akbar Constitution describes the election of Grand Vizier. The person must be a free citizen, at least thirty-five years of age and reside in the Empire for at least ten Norton years. Each governorate, riyasat and subah has as many electors as the total number of Shuyukh to which the governorate, riyasat or subah is entitled in the Çakari Congress. Each sarkar has one elector. The electors cast their ballots with the name of the candidate who received the most votes in their governorate, riyasat or subah.
Candidates
In the run-up to the election, eleven candidates applied. Of these, nine candidates withdrew prematurely and pledged their support for another candidate.
