Orion national election, 23 A.R.

The 23 A.R. national election was the second national election that took place under the Third Constitution, and all 401 members of the Orion National Assembly were elected under ranked-choice voting.

Incumbent Chancellor Hughes Stone Wheeler, the leader of the Rally for Orion, won re-election with a 44-seat majority in the Assembly because of her party's alliance with the Social Movement, a significant improvement from the government's 26-seat majority in the previous election.

The party gained seats from the Coalition for the Republic, but many of those gains were offset by losses of its own seats to the Social Movement and the Union of the Left, which were angered by Stone Wheeler's close relationship with Blair and the appointment of Carmody Noah as Vice-Chancellor. The Social Movement announced that it would withhold support from Stone Wheeler unless Noah was sacked as Vice-Chancellor, which subsequently occurred.

Following internal divisions and an unsuccessful vote of no confidence against Opposition Leader Ruben Blair, the Coalition for the Republic suffered a devastating loss in the election, dropping 9.67% in the national vote and losing 32 seats, which was the party's worst result until 58 A.R..

Following the election, Blair resigned as Opposition Leader and was replaced by Lockhart Riley.
