Peter Marnstricht resigned as prime minister after 5 years in office on 1 June 2451. His official statement was that he had failed to make any meaningful changes to the seat count, even losing voters, and that after 3 years being unelected, he thought he wasn't cut out enough for the role. Benjamin Haavista, the first half-Empheri half-Palak leader of Grensalbourg in history, became the new PS leader and thus the new prime minister midterm. To re-affirm his mandate, he called an early October election.
The PS won 38 seats, an increase of 4 from the last election, and an increase of nearly 4 percentage points to 35.97% of the popular vote. The Liberals made only modest gains of 0.3 percentage points in the popular vote, which translated to another new seat. The PS–VV coalition grew to 61 seats, a majority of 20. Benjamin Haavista was re-elected prime minister.
