The 2459 Empherias general election was held on 1 September 2459 to elect 600 members to the Empherias parliament.

The PSP had passed a significant number of reforms in the 2455–2459 parliamentary term such as strengthening trade unions, worker-owned corporations, argued against federal court on issues around privatisation, improved public transport, invested in the surgical and health industries, and began working on public education reform. She worked extensively with the HKA's House of Representatives and premier Katelyn Roberts, herself a former PSP prime minister. The Liberals had elected Murray Lovelace as their new leader on 22 December 2455

Turnout decreased likely due to apathy. The PSP once again broke the record for most votes received at 21.6 million, winning 348 seats (down 12 from the last election) and a majority of 94. The Liberals increased by 25 seats to 169 seats, the Nationalists decreased by 8 seats to 48 seats, and Alliance increased by 3 seats to 22 seats. The Greens decreased by 7 seats to 8 seats total, halving their seat count again after having their seat count halved at the previous election.

Sofia Hopkins was re-elected prime minister to her fourth term.
