In December 2020, the [[Cooperation and Development Coalition]] (CODECO) launched a [[CODECO military intervention in Sequoyah|military intervention]] in the [[Sequoyan Civil War]]. CODECO installed Colonel [[Atohi Dustu]] as provisional president in opposition Admiral [[Diwali Wesa]], the interim president. Wesa was forced to resign by early-January 2021 and Dustu was recognized as the legitimate president of Sequoyah by the international community. Dustu brought an end to the civil war by early-February 2021 and declared that elections would be held within the next year to elect the country's [[President of Sequoyah|president]], [[Vice President of Sequoyah|vice president]], 40 senators, 125 assemblymen, and 3 of the country's 6 governors. In the [[2022 Sequoyan presidential election|2022 presidential election]], Dustu, who ran as a member of the [[National Reconstruction Party (Sequoyah)|National Reconstruction Party]], defeated [[Wohehiv Avonaco]] of the [[Republican Party (Sequoyah)|Republican Party]] in the second round by a margin of almost 6 points. Although some journalists and opposition politicians accused the government of electoral fraud, the [[Sequoyan Electoral Commission]] (SAA) certified the results of the election in mid-March 2022 and Dustu was officially inaugurated as the 16th president of Sequoyah on 20 April 2022.
 +
 +
Dustu has been described by journalists, opposition politicians, and non-governmental organizations as governing an in authoritarian and illiberal manner. He has been accused of frequently attempting to bypass [[Congress of Sequoyah|Congress]] and rule by decree in order to implement some of his more controversial laws. In 2024, the ''[[Kalgaduv Times]]'' alleged that Dustu's government hired individuals to harass political opponents on social media in the lead up to the that year's [[2024 Sequoyan People's Assembly election|People's Assembly election]]. Dustu has denied allegation of autocratic rule, claiming that his government strives to uphold democracy in Sequoyah.
 +
 +
One of Dustu's primary campaign promises was to get Sequoyah readmitted to CODECO, from which the country was expelled in mid-2020 following [[2020 Sequoyan coup d'état|a coup d'état]] which overthrew President [[Cheasequah Waya]]. Dustu agreed to hold referendums in three of Sequoyah's northern [[Provinces of Sequoyah|provinces]] to determine wether or not they would be annexed into [[Creeperopolis]], Sequoyah's northern neighbor.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=49439906|title=Ծոնվենիո դել 1 դե Ջփնիո|trans-title=1 June Agreement|language=[[Creeperian language|Creeperian]]|date=1 June 2022|access-date=20 October 2022|work=[[Ministry of External Affairs of Creeperopolis]]|author1-link=Nicolás Correa Encarnación|first1=Nicolás|last1=Correa Encarnación|location=[[Asequi]], Sequoyah}}</ref> The referendums resulted in [[Creeperian annexation of Navidad and San Juan Diego|Creeperopolis annexing]] the districts of [[Navidad, Nuevo Amanecer|Navidad]] and [[San Juan Diego]] in December 2022, but as a result, Sequoyah was readmitted to CODECO.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=49636058|title=Են լա'Փնիդադ դել Պփեբլո (Դիսծփրսո դե 500 Աթոս)|trans-title=On the Unity of the People (500 Years Speech)|language=[[Creeperian language|Creeperian]]|date=31 October 2022|access-date=31 October 2022|work=[[Monarchy of Creeperopolis]]|author1=Alexander II of Creeperopolis|author1-link=Alexander II of Creeperopolis|location=[[San Salvador, San Salvador|San Salvador]], Creeperopolis}}</ref> Sequoyan opposition politicians accused Dustu of giving away Sequoyah territory in an attempt to appease Creeperopolis.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=49648234|title=ᎤᏬᎳᏨᎯ ᏓᏄᏩᏐᏈᎵ: "ᎣᏪᏅᏒ ᏫᎵ ᎾᏍᎩᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗ" ᎠᏂᎩᏍᏗᏥᏳ ᎾᏍᎩᎤᏤᎵ ᎾᏍᎩᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎠᏚᏓᎸᏅ ᎤᎶᏐᏅ ᎠᏕᎳᏗᏍᏗ|trans-title=Kilchii Sike: "Resistance Will be Necessary" if Navaja Sovereignty is Not Guaranteed After Annexation|language=[[Sequoyan language|Sequoyan]]|date=1 November 2022|access-date=1 November 2022|work=[[Navaja Briefing]]|author1=Kilchii Sike|author1-link=Kilchii Sike|location=[[Tolikan]], Sequoyah}}</ref> Opposition politicians also claimed that the government utilized the annexation to gerrymander [[Eastern Sequoyah]]'s People's Assembly constituencies ahead of the 2024 elections.

The 2028 presidential election is scheduled to be held six years after the 2022 presidential election. The president and vice president will be elected on a joint ticket through a popular vote. The [[constitution of Sequoyah]] mandates that the election will be "free and fair". As mandated by the constitution, the election will be held on 27 February 2028, the last Sunday of February. If necessary, a second round will be held on 12 March 2028, the second Sunday of March. Voting is not compulsory.
 +
 +
A ticket needs an absolute majority (50% + 1) in order to be declared the election's winner. If no ticket receives an absolute majority, the two tickets which received the most votes will advance to a second round where the ticket which receives an absolute majority would be declared the election's winner. All presidential and vice presidential candidates must be at least 30 years old, be a Sequoyan citizen by birth, and not have had their rights as a citizen suspended in the six years prior to the election.

If necessary, a second round will be held on 12 March 2028. The election will occurred concurrently with Senate, People's Assembly, and gubernatorial elections.

Political parties will be able hold primary elections for their presidential candidates in mid-2027 and will have to register their candidates by late-2027. As of March 2024, fifteen political parties are registered with the Sequoyan Electoral Commission (SAA) and are eligible to run presidential and vice presidential candidates. As of May 2024, no one has announced their intention to run for president in 2027 with any political party, however, Sequoyan journalists and political commentators have proposed various candidates who could run for president. Incumbent President Atohi Dustu of the National Reconstruction Party is eligible to run for re-election, and many political experts believe that he will announce his re-election campaign sometime before 2026.

Political background

Presidency of Atohi Dustu

In December 2020, the Cooperation and Development Coalition (CODECO) launched a military intervention in the Sequoyan Civil War. CODECO installed Colonel Atohi Dustu as provisional president in opposition Admiral Diwali Wesa, the interim president. Wesa was forced to resign by early-January 2021 and Dustu was recognized as the legitimate president of Sequoyah by the international community. Dustu brought an end to the civil war by early-February 2021 and declared that elections would be held within the next year to elect the country's president, vice president, 40 senators, 125 assemblymen, and 3 of the country's 6 governors. In the 2022 presidential election, Dustu, who ran as a member of the National Reconstruction Party, defeated Wohehiv Avonaco of the Republican Party in the second round by a margin of almost 6 points. Although some journalists and opposition politicians accused the government of electoral fraud, the Sequoyan Electoral Commission (SAA) certified the results of the election in mid-March 2022 and Dustu was officially inaugurated as the 16th president of Sequoyah on 20 April 2022.

Dustu has been described by journalists, opposition politicians, and non-governmental organizations as governing an in authoritarian and illiberal manner. He has been accused of frequently attempting to bypass Congress and rule by decree in order to implement some of his more controversial laws. In 2024, the Kalgaduv Times alleged that Dustu's government hired individuals to harass political opponents on social media in the lead up to the that year's People's Assembly election. Dustu has denied allegation of autocratic rule, claiming that his government strives to uphold democracy in Sequoyah.

One of Dustu's primary campaign promises was to get Sequoyah readmitted to CODECO, from which the country was expelled in mid-2020 following a coup d'état which overthrew President Cheasequah Waya. Dustu agreed to hold referendums in three of Sequoyah's northern provinces to determine wether or not they would be annexed into Creeperopolis, Sequoyah's northern neighbor.[1] The referendums resulted in Creeperopolis annexing the districts of Navidad and San Juan Diego in December 2022, but as a result, Sequoyah was readmitted to CODECO.[2] Sequoyan opposition politicians accused Dustu of giving away Sequoyah territory in an attempt to appease Creeperopolis.[3] Opposition politicians also claimed that the government utilized the annexation to gerrymander Eastern Sequoyah's People's Assembly constituencies ahead of the 2024 elections.

Electoral system

Election procedure

The 2028 presidential election is scheduled to be held six years after the 2022 presidential election. The president and vice president will be elected on a joint ticket through a popular vote. The constitution of Sequoyah mandates that the election will be "free and fair". As mandated by the constitution, the election will be held on 27 February 2028, the last Sunday of February. If necessary, a second round will be held on 12 March 2028, the second Sunday of March. Voting is not compulsory.

A ticket needs an absolute majority (50% + 1) in order to be declared the election's winner. If no ticket receives an absolute majority, the two tickets which received the most votes will advance to a second round where the ticket which receives an absolute majority would be declared the election's winner. All presidential and vice presidential candidates must be at least 30 years old, be a Sequoyan citizen by birth, and not have had their rights as a citizen suspended in the six years prior to the election.

Notes

  1. ↑ Although Waya had already been elected as president twice in 2014 and February 2020 (reaching the constitutional term limit of 2 presidential terms), the adoption of a new constitution in 2021 voided the previous term limit imposed on Waya and made him eligible to run for president in subsequent elections.[4]
