The Cynulliad Cenedlaethol election of 1729 elected Calbion's unicameral assembly. It was the first election of the Calbain parliament in 19 years, after the suspended elections of 1717, and the appointment of a National Unity government led by Cedrick Eynon with a mandate from Calbion's main political factions to curtail terrorism and political violence from right-wing extremist groups that gripped the nation starting in 1711 with the assassination of Llywelyn of Pentyre, the heir apparent to become the Prince of the Calbain. Various groups, most notably the currently largely repressed Gwarcheidwaid y Genedl Bur, carried out several bombings and political assassinations with the aim of overturning Calbion's democratic system and granting the Prince of the Calbain absolute power.

After the insurgency was largely quelled, and the order within the country restored sufficiently, Eynon announced that he would step down in XI.1729 and subsequently called a new election for the Cynulliad Cenedlaethol.

In the 19 years following the last election, all influential figures of the democratic pre-Eynon period had either resigned from politics (George Merwyn, Lynna Hayworth) or passed away (Charles Haigh, Robert Naimh and Evyn Drakeford). As a result, the political map was redrawn significantly.

Results

The elections resulted in no overall majority for any political group. Upset with the dramatic victory of the Radicals, an agreement was quickly made between the Nationalist and Realist factions, where the Realists would provide the newly installed Lewis-Dreicdyn governemnt with confidence and supply. Opposition leader Oswald Wyndham as well as Regionalist leader Howard Moore decried this agreement, calling it "utterly anti-democratic" and accusing the two factions that historically had ruled Calbion to form a "corrupt cabal".
