The 1711 Sanaman general elections were held on 1.XII and were the second elections following the 1707 change of political system. The sitting Qukalsim Malliki Orea was seeking a second term, with Kito Paliso of the Agrarian League his main competitor. The Agrarian League and the Sanaman People's Party signed a cooperation agreement before the election, coming short of a formalised alliance. The United Nationalist Alliance again was mired by leadership struggles, with the rather weak Katalina Williams being challenged by former leader Keysa Nur Pinito Caprici, who was finally allowed back in the country. Elections were also held to the assemblies of the people's republics, as well as local and regional assemblies. On 3.VII.1711, the United Nationalist Alliance announced that Nur Pinito Caprici had defeated Katalina Williams in a snap leadership vote. On 9.VII.1711 the Kalisa Lanyitali raided the national headquarters of the United Nationalist Alliance, investigating possible fraud, embezzlement and corruption under the presidency and chancellorship of reelected party leader Nur Pinito Caprici.
