 +
The primaries for [[Gjorka United]] saw a large field of candidates from a diverse range of positions. The failure of centrist candidate [[Holly Forde]] in 2001, and the increasing rightward shift of the party since the collapse of [[One Nation (Gjorka)|One Nation]] and the formation of the [[Pro-Gjorkan Initiative]] led many in the party to desire a more traditionally conservative candidate to rally the base of the party. Three main candidates emerged: two moderate candidates of [[Liam Mahoney]] and [[Nora Quinn]], both assembly members from [[Gjorka City]], and the more right-wing [[Joseph Marnell]], former [[Supreme Marshal of the Army (Gjorka)|Supreme Marshal of the Army]] from [[Rusynia]].
 +
 
 +
Mahoney and Quinn were criticized in the media for their indistinguishable campaigns as both candidates were moderates from [[Gjorka City]], with the ''[[Gjorka Times]]'' referring to them as "husband and wife". By contrast Marnell was significantly more bold in his campaign, becoming famous for his fiery rants. During the first primary debate, Marnell attacked both Mahoney and Quinn in long rants that often ended in him shouting. His fiery campaign style was further emphasized in the second debate, when Marnell slammed his first on his podium, causing it fall over and become broken, delaying the debate for several minutes.
 +
 
 +
Into the final week of the primary, polling showed all three candidates to be neck and beck with Mahoney and Quinn polling at 32% and 31% respectively, and Marnell further back at 29%. However, come primary night Marnell significant out performed polls winning the nomination with 33% of the vote. Marnell's nomination was considered controversial as 61% of the party had voted for the moderate candidates of Mahoney or Quinn.
