The '''January 2016 Elections''' were the first democratic elections held in the [[Jingdaoese Empire]] since its establishment. Three major parties ran for office, the [[National-Centrist Party of the Rising Sun]] (Jingdaoese nationalists), the [[Royal Kildarian Party]] (regionalists) and the [[United Jingdaoese Populist Party]] (populists / liberals). The [[National Republican Party of Norfolk]] and [[Partito Populare de Tyrenia]] participated as well, but in coalition with the major parties.


=Unexpected loss=
The Nastional-Centrist Party (in coalition with the National Republican Party), backed by a strong group of industrialists, militarists and royalists, expected to gain a total victory in most States. Surprisingly, a lot of conservative voters changed their vote at the last moment, leading to unexpected victories of the Kildarian Royal Party (which capitalized on the discontent of a lot of people in the establishment). 

Tyrenia became, as suspected a heaven of populism, while Curagh and Vervollkomnung became powerbases of the KRP. The National Republican Party of Norfolk gained a grand victory in the only State it ran in the elections.
