The candidates who declared were Toad King (IND), Representative Razputin Bazputin (IND), Priceless Agrari (IND), IgnitedTNT (RBP), Layzur Patriot (IND), A__C (IND), Bardiya King (IND), Pepecuu (IND), xDarkkex (IND), Purple Contour (IND), AbsInf (IND), ragemen2 (IND), TheFlameEmporer1 (IND), Mr Neighbor Hathaway (TP), and Ameslap James (NDP). Three of these candidates were disqualified: IgnitedTNT (RBP), ragemen2 (IND), and Patriot (IND), all for insufficient playtime.[17]
Bazputin, who was accused of accepting a bribe less than a week earlier, has campaigned with a graphic reading "Did I do that 'thing'?? Who knows! Vote for me!"[18]
On 28 December, the party endorsed Hathaway for first preference and James for second preference.[19] Representative zLost endorsed ToadKing later that day.[20]
On 1 January 2026, the Department of State announced James and ToadKing victorious in the Senate special, giving both a very short term, having been elected just nine days before the 35th Congress will start session.[21]
January Senate special
A third special election for the Senate, called on 1 January, will fill Anthony_org's seat in class B. The candidates are Toad King, Ironside the Red (IND), sitting Representative xEndeavour (IND), Bardiya King (NDP), TheFlameEmporer1 (IND) incumbent Speaker of the House Talion Contour (TP), and current Representative zLost (GER).[22]
Contour was endorsed by the Workers' Party of Redmont[23] and Representative Ryland Wethersbee,[24] while zLost was endorsed by President of the Senate Omegabiebel[25] and Representative Budgiebud.[26] On 5 January, Vice President Multiman 155 endorsed King.[27]
Resignations and derelictions
The 34th Congress saw an unusually high number of resignations and removals of members for dereliction.
Controversies
On 21 December, Razputin Bazputin (WPR) was accused of accepting a $5,000 bribe. The bribe was reportedly to have Bazputin change his abstain vote on the Abstention Fix Act to an aye vote.[28] His membership in the WPR was subsequently revoked.[29] Bazputin, now an independent associate of the WPR, issued a press release stating that he "[does] not believe [he] committed bribery, but . . . will admit that [his] behavior has not perhaps been the most professional during [his] time as a representative." The press release also stated he would fight prosecution.[30]
