The 1723-1724 Sanaman election protests were a series of large-scale protests in Sanama orchestrated by the Party of Democratic Humanism following the victory of the Workers' Revolutionary Front in the 1723 Sanaman general election. Protests broke out in Semisa City directly following the announcement of the results in the election on 12.X.1723 and quickly spread to other cities in the country. The two metropolises saw the largest protests. The demonstrations grew following the appointment of the new government on 15.XII.1723, and increasingly turned violent with clashes with national police becoming more prevalent. The new Minister of Public Safety Winfred Hayes commented in national media that violence against law enforcement could never be tolerated, and that the Kalisa Lanyitali would clamp down on what he called "organised thuggery". Mass arrests the following months, with most people arrested being released on bonds within days, managed to tamper most of the protests. Several grassroots organisers in the PDH were prosecuted for rioting and imprisoned. As of 1.II.1724, protests were limited to Fatehpur Sikri and Niyi, as well as small gatherings of sign wavers in Semisa City.
