The October 2025 presidential Election is set to happen from the 7th October, to the 10th October 2025.
The '''October 2025 presidential election''' was the 16th [[presidential election]] in [[Redmont]]. From 7 to 10 October, voters elected [[Workers' Party of Redmont]] (WPR) candidate [[Pepecuu]] and their running mate [[Eenza]].<ref name=":0" />

== Background ==
Following the introduction (and eventual retraction) of the DCT's fairness fee, 2 splinter parties formed from the Workers Party Redmont (WPR), 1 being the Left Opposition, the other being New Alliance. The fee had also created a large amount of drama outside of WPR, with it eventually leading to the resignation of [[Kaiserin]]<ref>https://discord.com/channels/673612908868927498/686158870435201035/1409279606992801893</ref>, making [[Juniperfig]] the 22nd President of Redmont.
In the [[June 2025 presidential election]], [[Kaiserin_]], a leading figure in the WPR, was elected to succeed [[1950minecrafter]], who headed [[1950minecrafter February 2025 presidential campaign|the GER–WPR ticket]] in the [[February 2025 presidential election|February election]]. In August, Kaiserin_ resigned,<ref>{{Cite Discord|url=https://discord.com/channels/673612908868927498/686158870435201035/1409279606992801893|messager=kaiserin_|channel=government-announcements|server=DemocracyCraft|date=24 August 2025}}</ref> and the presidency was assumed by Vice President [[juniperfig]].


As a result of internal party tensions, the RBP had a major fallout after the [[33rd Congress]]'s election in September, with senator [[DocTheory]] leaving due to the President of the Senate elections, with Representative [[Plura72]] leaving a few minutes later, to create the Labor Party Redmont, with Representative [[RealImza]] leaving as well, now exclusively being a New Alliance member.  
Also in August, two splinter parties formed from the Workers' Party Redmont (WPR): the [[Left Opposition]]<ref name=":1">{{Cite forums|url=https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/left-opposition.30904/|title=Left Opposition|publication_date=13 August 2025|access_date=11 December 2025|author=Jesseya}}</ref> and the [[New Alliance]].<ref>{{Cite forums|author=[[Sofia2750]]|publication_date=16 August 2025|access_date=11 December 2025|title=New Alliance (NA)|url=https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/new-alliance-na.30957/}}</ref> In September, the former was deregistered.<ref name=":1" />


This left both major parties in a weakened position, ahead of the October elections.
As a result of internal party tensions, the [[Redmont Beach Party]] (RBP) experienced major losses after the [[33rd Congress#Elections|congressional elections in September]]. Senator [[DocTheory]] left because of the [[president of the Senate]] election, Representative [[Plura72]] leaving mere minutes later to create the [[Labor Party Redmont]] and Representative [[RealImza]] left to join the New Alliance. This left both major parties in a weakened position ahead of the presidential election in October.
 
=== WPR Primaries ===
Following the July Party Charter rework, there was a primary process added inside the WPR, with the winner getting the presidential nomination,
 
Having opened on the 19th September, the WPR primary will produce one of the 2 main contenders. The Pepe/Eenza ticket is overall considered the favourite to win, based on Eenza having a net approval of +49, and Pepecuu having a +55 net approval.
 
The primaries were won by the Pepecuu/Eenza ticket, to very few peoples surprise. The Campaign Server launched while Eenza was not available, and Pepecuu was asleep, resulting in a heavily broken campaign server at launch.

The October 2025 presidential election was the 16th presidential election in Redmont. From 7 to 10 October, voters elected Workers' Party of Redmont (WPR) candidate Pepecuu and their running mate Eenza.[1]

On 26 September, the WPR announced its ticket, Pepecuu and Eenza, after the campaign won the primary.[2] The newly established minor Labor Party of Redmont (LPR) ran PluraGlasshouse and pricelessAgrari, the only other campaign affiliated with a political party.[3]

Background

In the June 2025 presidential election, Kaiserin_, a leading figure in the WPR, was elected to succeed 1950minecrafter, who headed the GER–WPR ticket in the February election. In August, Kaiserin_ resigned,[4] and the presidency was assumed by Vice President juniperfig.

Also in August, two splinter parties formed from the Workers' Party Redmont (WPR): the Left Opposition[5] and the New Alliance.[6] In September, the former was deregistered.[5]

As a result of internal party tensions, the Redmont Beach Party (RBP) experienced major losses after the congressional elections in September. Senator DocTheory left because of the president of the Senate election, Representative Plura72 leaving mere minutes later to create the Labor Party Redmont and Representative RealImza left to join the New Alliance. This left both major parties in a weakened position ahead of the presidential election in October.

Candidates

In the first hours of 2 October LPR candidate PluraGlasshouse and TP candidate tortenwashere declared. Soon after, WPR candidate Pepecuu declared, followed by seven independent candidates: AsexualDinosaur, 12700k, MrFluffy2U94, Bezzergeezer, PurpleBG, YourLocalDiabeto and EATB. Before polls opened, the Department of State announced that four of the nine tickets had been disqualified: tortenwashere/Rubilubi55, 12700k/razorsharpbread, PurpleBG/Talion77 and YourLocalDiabeto/Destiny2Guru.[1]

WPR primary

Two campaigns declared in the WPR primary, held in September: Pepecuu and Eenza[7] and PurpleBG and Talion77.[8] The former won the primary, becoming the party's official nominees.[2]

Controversies

In late September, an anonymous tip to The Reveille Times produced screenshots alleging that New Alliance members conspired to have Bezzergeezer removed from RBP leadership if he were to lose the election. In a statement, Sofia2750 claimed The Reveille Times "seems to prioritise painting NA in a bad light," and called the conversation shown in the screenshots "an internal miscommunication between members."[9]

On 8 October, as the polls were open for voting, the Eagle Foundation reported that the Pepecuu campaign's pick for secretary of commerce, Bardiya_King, was "set to be fired from [the] department for alleged incompetence and creating a toxic work environment". Attached was a 17-page document originally sent to Secretary of Commerce Avaneesh2008.[10] The report accused Bardiya_King of dishonouring commitments, hostility and "poor accounting skills", as phrased by The Compass.[11] After receiving rebuttal statements from Bardiya_King, The Compass opined that, "under scrutiny from the perspective of Bardiya, it [the report] struggles to hold up."[12]

Opinion polling and forecasts

The TPA News pre-poll found Pepecuu in the lead, followed by tortenwashere and Bezzergeezer.[13] A later poll, conducted during the voting period, found Pepecuu winning an outright majority.[14]

Events

On 6 October, TPA News hosted a debate between four of the candidates — AsexualDinosaur, Bezzergeezer, Pepecuu and PluraGlasshouse[15]— at s027.[16] It was broadcast live on YouTube.[17]

Results

In what The Residential Post called "an expected sweep,"[18] Pepecuu's campaign won the election, with 61.59% of the votes to the runner-up's 38.41% after the final round.[1] In third place came PluraGlasshouse; an analysis published shortly after the release of the results found that EATB's campaign, which came in last place, had more support than Plura's when weighing the order of preference.[19]
