	In the initial days of 2025, an influx of new players joined DemocracyCraft, due to the reporting on the [[March 2024 coup]] attempted by the Redmont Nationalist Party. This influx, known as the [[Trolligarch wave]], is credited with shifting Redmont's political landscape to the left, notably establishing the WPR and growing the GER. In the [[29th Congress\|January congressional elections]], the [[GER–WPR coalition]] achieved a majority in the [[House of Representatives]], and in the [[February 2025 presidential election]], its [[1950minecrafter February 2025 presidential campaign\|joint ticket]] won, with the WPR's 1950minecrafter ascending to the presidency and the GER's Yeet_Boy, then-Mayor of Oakridge, to the vice presidency.

			[[Sofia2750]] and running mate [[Ameslap]] won the election by a single vote, promising activity and prosperity within the town.<ref>https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/mayor-election-december-2025-special.33894/#post-129520</ref>

			On 17 January 2026, following a period of first popularity, then unpopularity due to the uprising within Oakridge on [[Ridgewood]], a new area of the town including a heavily discussed military base. Some citizens, including [[Kaiserin]] were angry at the military base and new commercial district's "destruction of the Arsky valley". This first led mayor Sofia2750 to indefinitely postpone the expansion, and following a longer period of "harassment" including [[NovaKerbal]] brutally murdering everyone at a press conference, Sofia went on leave of absence until further notice, making ameslap acting mayor of Oakridge.<ref>[[File:Sofia makes Ameslap acting mayor of OAkridge.png\|thumb\|Discord message, 1/17/2026, #announcements, Oakridge server]]
			</ref>

			Ameslap's first act as acting mayor was to publicly request the Town Council to stop limiting the powers of the executive, through acts such as the Make it Make Sense Act, giving the power of appointing the Chief of Staff to the council, the First and Second Mayoral Authority Clarification Acts, both moving more power to the council. <ref>[[File:Ameslap Request for Town Council.png\|thumb\|"Request for Town Council", #[https://discord.com/channels/762721919065128970/762735113876275200/1462214676564807793 announcements on Oakridge discord, 17/1/26]]]
