The election is the second election to be held in Armenia. President Lovelyfurball, who was first elected in the April election, sought a second full term in office. Lovelyfurball was challenged by four candidates, representing several brand new political factions, some of which did not reside in the nation. Lovelyfurball's main opponent in the ensuing runoff election was Syrian King Ave2k, who ran a mostly meme-based campaign under the persona of "Saad Abdelaziz Ibn Ali Ismael". Ave2k, who was previously elected as a Developmental MP in the April parliamentary election, ran under the newly established Centralist Armenian Party, or C.A.P.; however was labeled on the ballot as the "Terrorist Party", with his consent. In the National Assembly, the Development Party lost their absolute majority, with their third seat being won by Ave2k of the aforementioned splinter Centralist Armenia Party. Despite there being a Hung parliament, there will most likely in practice be Developmental control.
This election was notable due to the large presence of foreigner candidates, with open foreign involvement being fully allowed during the election process.
