The Vintyr election gave a clear victory to the opposition parties, gathered in the Democratic Alliance, which obtained nearby 50% of the vote and 164 of 299. It was a clear majority, but far from the more than 200 seats required for constitutional amends which a few polls had predicted two weeks before the election.
The Keszarian Liberal Movement, renamed as the Keszarian Moderate Party, with Martin Grosz as candidate, obtained 36%, showing a better result than expected, with 119 MPs, which meant that they would be able to block any constitutional reform.
"Gyöngy Székély List", the political party formed by the incumbent Speaker of the National Assembly, was able to enter into the parliament by merely a few voters to pass the minimal threshold and obtained 16 MPs. The new political party mostly obtained the support mostly by former Keszarian Liberal Movements and the far-right National People's Party.
The National People's Party could only obtain 4.2% of the vote, and therefore was not able to enter into the Assembly for first time since 1574 -the first legislative elections that the controversial political party contested. Neither the Communist Party nor the Social Democratic Party were able to enter the parliament, and for first time since the transition to democracy, there will be only three parliamentary groups in the National Assembly (although, obviously, the Democratic Alliance was formed by several opposition political parties).
Árpád Meggyesfalvi, from the Democratic Alliance, was elected as Speaker of the National Assembly, therefore becoming de facto head of state until new presidential elections.
Along the National Assembly election, there were also Senate by-elections in twelve districts, as a dozen of senators -most of them from the ruling party-, had resigned or left the country during the recent political crisis. The Democratic Alliance won eleven of those districts, while the far-right National People's Party, despite their poor result nationwide, was able to take the other seat. The Keszarian Liberal Movement lost their majority in their Senate by a mere seat. As a result, the Democratic Alliance had obtained a comfortable majority in the National Assembly, while in the Upper House, it would require to have the support of either the National People's Party and the Communist Party (with four and one senator, respectively) to pass any legislation in the case that the remaining members of the Keszarian Liberal Movement kept voting as a block in order to stop any reform.
A new national government came to power, with mostly Democratic Alliance ministers, along a few independent ministers. Lázár Kádár, the leader of the Civic Democratic Union -largest political party of the opposition Democratic Alliance- became Minister of Foreign Affairs, and arguably the unofficial head of the government.
The new government started a dialogue with the Keszarian Moderate Party in order to introduce reforms which would allow to hold presidential elections as soon as possible. However, the focus of the action of the government was to improve the national economy and to pass legislative reforms to fight corruption and improve the rule of law, to undone fifteen years of Géza Békésy's rule.
The National Assembly, with a clear majority by the former main opposition parties, established an important number of parliamentary committee and independent audits that helped to uncover many corrupt or suspect deals by the former administration. Months later, as investigations advanced, severe changes were brought against many former members of the Keszarian Liberal Movement -including sitting members in the National Assembly and the Senate, which accused the new government of indulging into a political persecution of the opposition.
The new government obtained generous financial loans from the HLE and other Southern Brigidnan governments which allowed Keszaria -although still facing an important economic situation- to slowly improve the economic situation. Along the above policies, this certainly helped the new government, which become highly popular, at least for a while, starting a promising future for democracy in Keszaria.
