September 2021 Santa Dominican general election

The September 2021 Santa Dominican general election took place on 15 September 2021, after four of the six parties in the House of Commons (Labour, the Greens, the Liberal Democrats, and the Left) all agreed to call snap elections. The election came nearly six months after the Conservatives and Rosa Anand took power. The election resulted in consequential losses for the Conservative Party, and heavy losses for the Liberal Democrats, who, under the leadership of Edward Hawkins is now the smallest party in Parliament. The election resulted in Labour being the largest party, and only one seat short of a majority. Labour leader Thomas Laurent is currently in talks with Green Party leader Susan Wild in order to form a left-wing majority government. It is widely assumed that Thomas Laurent will assume the office of prime minister, ending 4 years and 6 months of Labour not being in government. Prior to those 4 years, Labour had been in power for 12 years. Thomas Laurent's Labour became the largest party by gathering large support in francophone Henderson for the party, while the Conservatives were able to consolidate their support in anglophone, western areas of the country. It is the first election since 2013 where there are two strong major parties in government, and in that regard is the least diverse parliament in nearly 4 years.
