Craftian federal election, 2049

A federal election was held on Saturday, 11 September 2049 to elect the members of the 22nd Parliament of Craftia. The incumbent three-term centre-left Liberal Party of Craftia government, led by Prime Minister Kevin Abbott, defeated the opposition centre-right Craftian Conservative Party, led by Opposition Leader John Hammond, after securing confidence and supply agreements with the National United Party, led by Kevin Bazley, and the Craftian Greens, led by Bill Hyderson.

Abbott had gone into the election as the first Prime Minister to win three elections, and the Liberals managed to secure a minority coalition government agreement with United and the confidence and supply of the Craftian Greens, allowing Abbott to serve a record fourth term in office. He had already become the longest-serving Prime Minister the previous year. Eventually however, Abbott would not complete his fourth term, due to a hostile opposition in the Senate and the breaking down of the agreement with the Greens, costing the government its majority and paving the way for Opposition Leader Vincent Leonard to replace him as Prime Minister less than a year after this election.
