The 5125 Luthorian parliamentary election was an election for the Imperial Diet of Luthori. All 300 members were elected on the 4th of February 5125.

The Brown Cross remained the first party but had large losses and dropped to 32.57% of the votes.

Led by Jim Hart, the liberal and progressive Country National Party made a breakthrough and became the second largest party with 24.4% of the votes.

In third place, the Democratic Reformists collapsed under 20% of the votes and lost 37 seats.

All other parties made losses, except the Rally for the Empire which recovered and jumped from 12 to 20 seats.

Context

Government formation

After the previous election, the Brown Cross tried to form a cabinet with the LCP. After months, the negotiations failed and the LCP decided to support early elections.

Re-foundation of the CNP

The Country National Party was re-founded by Jim Hart, a popular TV presentator. The new party received extensive media coverage during the campaign.
