Craftian general election, 1945

The first free general election in Craftia since 1890 was held on Saturday, 31 March 1945 to determine the members of the inaugural Provincial Parliament of the new Province of Craftia. The incumbent (before 1 February 1945) left-wing Communist Party of Craftia government, led by interim leader Deng Guanlong, was resoundingly defeated by the new centre-left National Labour Party, led by leader George Phillipson, ending 53 years of Communist rule.

Under the first-past-the-post system, the Labour Party won 52 of the 65 new electoral districts (exactly four fifths of the legislature), while the Communist Party won 11. In addition, one Free Trade Party candidate and an independent were elected. Labour's proportion of seats, a record for any free election held in Craftian history, has yet to be exceeded, and will likely remain unbroken due to Craftia's modern proportional election system.
