Craftian federal election, 2061

A federal election was held on Saturday, 17 September 2061 for members of the 26th Parliament of Craftia. The incumbent first-term centre-left National United Party government, led by Prime Minister Zahab Wibowus, defeated the opposition centre-right Craftian Conservative Party, led by Opposition Leader Reagen Queanbeyan, with an increased plurality (falling only 3 seats short of a majority), and formed a minority government with the support of the Mojang Democratic Party.

Unusually for a first-term government, there was a small swing towards the United Party, although Prime Minister Zahab Wibowus narrowly lost his own seat in one of the biggest political upsets in recent history. He decided to retire due to his age, and chose not to re-enter the House of Representatives via a by-election, and Deputy Prime Minister Isaac Gray was sworn in as the 24th Prime Minister of Craftia instead.

For the first time since 2028, there were less than six parties represented in the House of Representatives, due to both the Liberal Democrats and the Greens losing all of their electorate seats and falling short of the 2% threshold to win list seats.

Opinion polling
Several research and polling firms conduct polls in relation to voting intentions in the lead-up to the next election. Some of the firms also ask voters whether they are satisfied or dissatisfied with the performance of the leaders of the three main parties, as well as who would be the best Prime Minister.
