| - The APR Leadership Election took place on May 19th 3892 following the assassination of Robin Goldsmith, the then Prime Minister. Parker had widely been favourite to succeed Goldsmith even before his death, she announced she was running in mid-March and resigned from her position as deputy leader triggering a deputy leadership contest held on the same day. Unlike deputy leadership elections, the leadership elections are voted upon by paid up members to allow for greater democracy, they also take place over a longer period of time to allow for campaigning. Christopher Wood, who had been recently elected in 3889 announced he was running simply to allow for debate in the contest and to generate discussion and further the parties ideas. He managed to win over 28% of the party membership despite being relatively unknown. However Parker won by a landslide with 72% of the vote on an 82% turnout of the membership.
