The 2451 Grensalbourg general election was held on 2 March 2451 to elect 100 members to the Grensalbourg legislature using the D'hondt method of proportional representation with a 2% minimum threshold. Because the first election was held without any idea of who the main parties were and what people wanted, prime minister Marnstricht believed that party support was too spread out, hence the hung parliament. Personally, he believed that like Empherias, the people would naturally default to a two party system, and therefore he wanted to hold a new election early. Privately, he wanted to get rid of the Liberals and bring in a major left-wing party or single party majority.
The results saw no major changes, mainly because not much had happened. Factors attributing to the very small –0.81 swing from PS to VV may have been people becoming sick of Marnstricht believing this snap election was a power grab– although the term would expire by the end of 2451 anyway. Although, the only seat change was the nationalist VNEG losing a seat to the VV, which could suggest the Liberals were able to win votes from the right. The Socialists and Liberals reform the 2449–2451 PS–VV coalition and re-elected Peter Marnstricht to be prime minister with 56 seats, a majority of 10. The KC (Conservatives) formed the opposition.
