Vintyr 11, 1594
Despite the opposition demand of immediate presidential and legislative elections, the government was able to impose its will, and only legislative elections on late Vintyr were officially called by acting president Gyöngy Székély. Keszarian Supreme Court strengthened the government hand in this issue, as they ruled that the scale of the electoral fraud in Ochtyr legislative election make it impossible to establish the election result, and called to repeat election before five months. As a result, legislative election for the National Assembly were called for Vintyr 24, as well as the by-election for the Senate for twelve districts, for senators who had either resigned or fled the country during or after the political crisis that resulted in Békésy resignation.
The early polls started to give a lead to the opposition, gathered in the Democratic Alliance, which included most of the candidates of the previous legislative election along a few candidates from activists who had an active role during the protests.
The Keszarian Liberal Movement, who had rejected to support acting president Gyöngy Székély as their candidate, despite rumours of splits and internal division, remained competitive and relatively popular, coming in most polls as second, not too far from the Democratic Alliance. The Keszarian Liberal Movement, once that Békésy had been effectively suspended as leader of the party and many of his close associated had left politics, chose the mayor of Köszövár, Martin Grosz, to head the Keszarian Liberal Movement list in the Vintyr elections.
Gyöngy Székély, Speaker of the Assembly and acting president, reestablished her own political party, the National Democratic Party, aiming to continue as acting president directly or indirectly. Her chances were limited, however, as her popularity had declined in the last years, even though it had resisted better than other Keszarian Liberal Movement officials after the Ochtyr political crisis. Meanwhile, other parties such as the far-right National People's Party, the Messianic Democratic Party, or the Communist Party kept struggling in the polls as weeks advanced.
The decision by the Supreme Court of not allowing early presidential election, at least for now, as it declared it "against the constitution", threatened to turn Keszarian political system as a de facto parliamentary democracy, as the Speaker of the Assembly would be also the acting head of state and head of government. Independently of the result, the Keszarian Liberal Movement was expected to retain some of its influence, in case of the opposition failed to obtain a majority in the National Assembly, and specially in the Senate, where the Keszarian Liberal Movement would retain 48 seats of 100 at least until late 1595 Senate election.
