Elections were held for the electoral period of (:turn) 161 to (:turn) 180. The only participating candidate was [[Characters~Nehket Aeka]].

[[Nehket Aeka]] of the [[Veolian Commonwealth]], backed by the [[Astai Republic]] and the [[Sundarian Federation]] wants to restore faith in the Union government through transparency, and hopes to improve the overall economy by opening trade negotiations with the [[Core Hegemony]].

As expected, incumbent Chancellor Nehket Aeka won with a majority.
