The Cynulliad Cenedlaethol election of 175 ÔD elected the 3rd National Assembly of Calbion and was held in the Calbain provinces of Calbion Island, Kilkelly and Y Faenor.
The big winners of the election are Plaid Calbinol and Plaid Llafur. Llywelyn Lewis saw his party just coming short of an absolute majority in seats, although they did manage to win just over half of the popular vote. The socialists overtook the Calbain Alliance to become the main opposition party, they gained a spectacular 30 seats, mainly in the cities. Ioan Moran saw the Alliance lose 5 seats, but it remains an influential party in the Assembly. It is clear that he Alliance and the Labour Party both fared very well in the urban areas, whilst Plaid Calbinol swayed the rural areas and the smaller cities. The PWC managed to pick up 6 constituencies in the Calbain heartland, suprisingly beating the Minority Bloc, the biggest loser of the elections. The regionalist coalition of Hendrik Maritz only gained 5 seats and lost previous strongholds in South East Calbion to the Alliance and Labour.
Llywelyn Lewis has announced that Plaid Calbinol will govern as a minority government, and that his party is willing to cooperate on important issues with other parties in the Assembly. Lewis was renamed Governor-General by King Jack II in a private audience last Sunday.
