Results
The PCP increased their vote share and number of seats by 15 thus coming in second in seat gains behind the LPP, which gained representation for the first time in the Diet winning 58 seats. The LDMP faced its worse election results as it lost 25 seats and came second to last, ahead of the RP by only 0.4% of the vote. The election results were a win for Imperial Chancellor Roslyn Winship and her center-right government as the LA, led by Edward Astorius, and the CPL, led by Jackson Kitchener, did not lose any seats, though the LA did win 3 additional seats.

Following the election, Winship proposed a new government that saw the LDMP lose its representation in cabinet as a result of opposing the Authorization for the Use of Military Force in Aloria, a popular measure supported by both the public and the two other parties in coalition government. Due to the election defeat and their loss of coalition partner status, the LDMP disbanded.
