The '''May 2021 [[Nubia]] elections''' were the elections for Minister positions in the nation of [[Nubia]]. Voting for the elections started on the 30th of April and finished on the 1st of May 2021, with campaigning starting on the 25th of April. | |||
The race of Minister of Foreign Affairs had many contestants, due to entering a candidacy being encouraged as a joke by [[Greaseballer]]. This was due to the lack of competition against [[gorkymoo1119]] in the last elections, with his [[Gorkymoo1119's campaign for the April 2021 Nubia elections|campaign]] only having to publish [[Nubia's safety is at risk...|one advert]]. Despite the competition, [[gorkymoo1119]] would win the position in a landslide. | |||
Most political fighting would take during the debate, however several attack adverts were published, especially by the [[Gorkymoo1119's campaign for the May 2021 Nubia elections|campaign]] of [[gorkymoo1119]]. Other discussions would take place in regards to the Nubian army, but would not result in major debate. | |||

At 17:01pm BST, [[twomoo1119]] would announce that polling had ended and that votes were being counted.

=== Content of announcements === | |||
The announcement of the results of each Minster race would mostly be following a format used in the prior elections, with the format being similar to 'our next [Minister position] will be [winner of Minister election]'. This would be done for most of the announcement, until the announcement of the winner of Minister of Foreign Affairs, which was the last race to have the results announced. | |||
[[Twomoo1119]] would say 'and last but not least...' prior to announcing the results of the Minister of Foreign Affairs race, with him 2 minutes later announcing that [[gorkymoo1119]] had won the position. | |||

==== Minister of Foreign Affairs race ==== | |||
Several politicians would [[Predictions for the May 2021 Nubia elections|predict]] [[gorkymoo1119]] to be the winner of the [[May 2021 Nubia Minister of Foreign Affairs election|MoFA race]], however not by the margin that would happen. [[Gorkymoo1119]] would receive 13 first-choice votes, despite having 11 candidates running against him. The candidate in second place, [[Fijiloopins]], would receive only 5 first-choice votes. This would be used by [[gorkymoo1119]] against his other candidates, as many had expected him to not win by a large margin. | |||
==== Minister of Imperial Affairs race ==== | |||
This position was [[Predictions for the May 2021 Nubia elections|predicted]] to be won by [[Mengan_]], which was true. This was credited to her reputation within Nubian politics and previous electoral history. Oxyphii would place second, with about half the votes of [[Mengan_]]. | |||
==== Minister of Cultural Affairs race ==== | |||
Despite being closer than the Minster of Foreign Affairs race, [[UsualKostas]] would win Minister of Cultural Affairs by about 50% of the votes. This was despite [[UsualKostas]]' previous [[Impeachment of UsualKostas|impeachment]] during his first time in office. The results of the race were credited to the lack of competition by more notable Nubian politicians, with only ToastPanther1 and Iwearredhat competing for the office against [[UsualKostas]]. | |||
=== Close elections === | |||
There were 2 fairly close elections, for the positions of Minister of Defence and Minister of Trade and Commerce. This was credited to the large amount of debate and attack adverts by the front-runners. | |||
==== Minister of Defence race ==== | |||
The [[Predictions for the May 2021 Nubia elections|predictions]] said with strong confidence that [[Lopile]] or [[StarKiller1744]] would win. [[StarKiller1744]] had previously served as Minister of Defence, most recently in [[StarKiller1744's second tenure as Minister of Defence|late 2020]]. [[Lopile]] had been the incumbent Minister of Defence, serving since the [[January 2021 Nubia elections|January elections]], winning with strong margins. [[StarKiller1744]] would win the election, being credited to the lack of proper propaganda by both sides and the performance in the debate of [[StarKiller1744]] and recent activity from him. Many voters of [[StarKiller1744]] had put [[Lopile]] as their second choice. [[Fijiloopins]] would come in second place, being credited to his active campaign. | |||
==== Minister of Trade and Commerce race ==== | |||
[[Predictions for the May 2021 Nubia elections|Predictions]] for the position of Minister of Trade and Commerce had been mixed as to who would win, as no candidates were extremely high-profile. [[Gorkymoo1119]] had thought that [[Lopile]] would be the front-runner for the position, however did not know who would take over if [[Lopile]] had won the race for Minister of Defence. [[Lopile]] had not campaigned for the position, intending to use it as a backup in the case he did not win Minister of Defence.

The May 2021 Nubia elections were the elections for Minister positions in the nation of Nubia. Voting for the elections started on the 30th of April and finished on the 1st of May 2021, with campaigning starting on the 25th of April.
The race of Minister of Foreign Affairs had many contestants, due to entering a candidacy being encouraged as a joke by Greaseballer. This was due to the lack of competition against gorkymoo1119 in the last elections, with his campaign only having to publish one advert. Despite the competition, gorkymoo1119 would win the position in a landslide.
Most political fighting would take during the debate, however several attack adverts were published, especially by the campaign of gorkymoo1119. Other discussions would take place in regards to the Nubian army, but would not result in major debate.
Background
Previous election
In the previous election, there would be 2 shock elections, with the election not going according to several predictions. The shock elections would come under much attention, with the newly elected Ministers, Fijiloopins and Sad_poo, coming under much attention and scrutiny from other Nubian politicians.
Imperial Affairs
The incumbent Minister of Imperial Affairs, Sad_poo, came under some criticism for not performing his duties after posting a poll that caused controversy due to the content of it. Mengan_ had expressed interest in running for the position to replace him in mid-April 2021, with her originally running in the April elections but losing in what was considered by many a shock election.
He had met backlash within his first few days in office too, with Minister of Foreign Affairs gorkymoo1119 fearing Sad_poo lacked the 'competency and skills required to be a Minister'. Previously, gorkymoo1119 had been a key figure in impeaching UsualKostas on similar charges.

Predictions
During the elections, several Nubians expressed their thoughts on who would be the likely winner for each position, with many agreeing on who would win the position.
Announcement of results
End of ballots
At 17:01pm BST, twomoo1119 would announce that polling had ended and that votes were being counted. Many Nubian politicians would express their wishes of good luck to one another, with others saying that they were sure they would win due to their tactics and strategy during the campaign of the election. Other candidates would announce who they had voted and supported, many with hopes the candidate they voted would win. 12 minutes after the end of the voting period, twomoo1119 would announce that the results were in, shortly announcing each Minster race results.
Content of announcements

This would be done for most of the announcement, until the announcement of the winner of Minister of Foreign Affairs, which was the last race to have the results announced.
Twomoo1119 would say 'and last but not least...' prior to announcing the results of the Minister of Foreign Affairs race, with him 2 minutes later announcing that gorkymoo1119 had won the position.
Results
Landslide victories
Despite the predictions saying otherwise, three positions would be landslide victories, more than the expected two. This would be the race for the positions of Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Cultural Affairs.
Minister of Foreign Affairs race
Several politicians would predict gorkymoo1119 to be the winner of the MoFA race, however not by the margin that would happen.

Despite being closer than the Minster of Foreign Affairs race, UsualKostas would win Minister of Cultural Affairs by about 50% of the votes. This was despite UsualKostas' previous impeachment during his first time in office. The results of the race were credited to the lack of competition by more notable Nubian politicians, with only ToastPanther1 and Iwearredhat competing for the office against UsualKostas.
Close elections
There were 2 fairly close elections, for the positions of Minister of Defence and Minister of Trade and Commerce. This was credited to the large amount of debate and attack adverts by the front-runners.
Minister of Defence race
The predictions said with strong confidence that Lopile or StarKiller1744 would win. StarKiller1744 had previously served as Minister of Defence, most recently in late 2020. Lopile had been the incumbent Minister of Defence, serving since the January elections, winning with strong margins.

Many voters of StarKiller1744 had put Lopile as their second choice. Fijiloopins would come in second place, being credited to his active campaign.
Minister of Trade and Commerce race
Predictions for the position of Minister of Trade and Commerce had been mixed as to who would win, as no candidates were extremely high-profile. Gorkymoo1119 had thought that Lopile would be the front-runner for the position, however did not know who would take over if Lopile had won the race for Minister of Defence. Lopile had not campaigned for the position, intending to use it as a backup in the case he did not win Minister of Defence. He would win Minster of Trade and Commerce by a small margin, with iiSoulitez and t0ess receiving only a few votes than him.
Aftermath
Claims of electoral fraud
Soon after the results were announced, several candidates who lost in the Foreign Affairs race would claim electoral fraud, with Greaseballer accusing twomoo1119 of rigging the entire election in favour of candidates that he wanted and were not voted in. The claims were dismissed as a jokes, with nothing changing in regards to election results, Ministers and election procedure.
Resignation of Lopile
A week after the elections, Lopile would resign. As with the order of precedence after the resignation of a Minister in Nubia, the position was passed to the second most popular candidate, iiSoulitez.
