abstract
| - General elections were held in the Central Majatran Union on 7 September 4104, to elect the 240 members of the lower house, the Chamber of Deputies, as well as all 90 members of the Senate, the upper house. Additionally, the office of the President of the Central Majatran Union was up for election, to be chosen by direct popular vote. Since 4103, the country had been led by the military Peace at Home Council; the last democratically elected government, elected in 4100 and led by President Ariston Galatos, was overthrown in a coup d'état on 8 January 4103. Before it stepped down, the military junta introduced a new constitution, which was approved in a popular referendum in March 4104. The constitution included wide-reaching electoral reforms; among other changes, the president was now directly elected, as opposed to the previous indirect electoral system. The Socialist Populist Party (SHP) scored a landslide win in the 4104 elections; they took an absolute majority in the lower house, while their leader Mustafa Öztükar, was elected President of the Central Majatran Union with nearly 53% of the vote. Meanwhile, the newly founded Democratic Movement Party (DHP) came second in the legislative race, taking over 40%, while the New Democracy Party (YDP) won just under 10% of the vote. Öztükar subsequently formed a single-party SHP government.
