The '''March 2021''' '''[[Nubia]] elections''' were the elections for Minister positions in the nation of [[Nubia]]. Voting for the elections started on the 1st of March and finished on the 2nd of March 2021, with campaigning starting on the 25th of February.

During the elections, there was a large push for endorsements and campaigning coalitions. A major campaigning coalition was formed between [[cadenwantstoes]] and [[Thee_Boss]], both wanting [[cadenwantstoes]] in office for Minister of Trade and Commerce.

The ~~'''~~March 2021 [[Nubia]] ~~elections''' are~~ the ~~elections scheduled for early~~ March ~~2021 in~~ [[~~Nubia~~]] ~~for~~ Minister ~~positions in government~~.

The elections would end as many of the [[Predictions for the March 2021 Nubia elections|predictions]] said it would, with the accuracy levels being higher than in any past election predictions. Later on in the March term, [[Driifter]] would resign, with [[UsualKostas]] taking over as Minister of Municipal Development.

== ~~Candidates~~ ==

== Background ==

=== ~~'''Potential candidates'''~~ ===

=== Election complaints ===

Over the course of February 2021, several people who contested for the [[February 2021 Nubia elections|February 2021 elections]] and failed complained in regards to elections, questioning if they were needed. This was due to them believing everyone from [[February 2021 Nubia elections|February]] would be re-elected in the elections, and thus elections weren't needed.

~~===='''Expressed interest'''====~~

A small debate would last across multiple days, between those in favor of elections (mainly Emperor [[twomoo1119]] and Minister of Foreign Affairs [[gorkymoo1119]]) and those not ([[cadenstolethetoe]]). It would result in little change, and the elections would continue as before.

~~Prior to the elections~~, ~~individuals~~ in ~~this section have expressed an interest~~ in ~~running for a Minister position within~~ the ~~December and January months~~.

*[[Driifter]], councillor in Kiir

=== Ministers intending not to run ===

*[[gorkymoo1119]], former [[Prime Minister of Nubia|Nubian Prime Minister]] and 6x Minister of Municipal Development, incumbent ~~Mayor~~ of ~~[[Mersa]] and Minister of Foreign Affairs~~

Several incumbent Ministers expressed a lack of interest in running for their position, however did not decline completely. These were:

*[[Lopile]], incumbent Nubian Minister of Defence and Mayor of [[Sanaa]]

*[[Mengan_]], former Nubian Minister of Foreign Affairs

*[[Thee_Boss]], ~~former Nubian Minister of Trade and Commerce, councillor in [[Mersa]] and former Mayor of Kassala~~

~~<gallery mode="packed" heights="160">~~

* Minister of Municipal Development, [[StarKiller1744]]

~~File:GorkyNubiaIsis.png|{{center|former [[Prime~~ Minister of ~~Nubia|Prime Minister]] '''~~[[~~gorkymoo1119~~]]~~''' from [[Mersa]]}}~~

~~File:BossIsis.png|{{center|former Minister of Trade and Commerce '''[[Thee_Boss]]''' from [[Mersa]]}}~~

~~</gallery>~~

As a result of this, several positions looked as if they'd be occupied by someone who wasn't an incumbent Minister.

~~===='''Other potential candidates'~~''~~====~~

~~Prior to the elections, the following people have been subjects of speculation about their potential candidacy within the December and January months~~.

*~~[[Noahser]], former Nubian Minister of Defence~~ and ~~Mayor of [[Kiir]]~~

*~~[[StarKiller1744]], former Nubian Minister of Defence, incumbent Mayor of [[Turkana]]~~

=== '''Campaigning coalitions''' ===

===='''~~Declined to be candidates~~'''====

Several candidates had endorsed or worked together with other people for other positions in government as people that would be ideal for them to work alongside. Many of those who were endorsed also had endorsed the person back.

~~The individuals~~ in ~~this section~~ had ~~been~~ the ~~subject of speculation about their possible candidacy, but had publicly denied interest in running~~.

*[[~~Erick2317~~]], ~~mayor~~ of [[~~West Mersa~~]] and former councillor in [[~~Mersa~~]]

==== '''cadenwantstoes and Thee_Boss''' ====

One notable mention in government coalitions was between [[cadenwantstoes]] and [[Thee_Boss]]. Despite the two running against each other for Minister of Trade and Commerce in the [[December 2020 Nubia elections|December]] and [[February 2021 Nubia elections|February elections]], [[Thee_Boss]] chose to run for Minister of Cultural Affairs instead of Trade and Commerce. After private talks, it was agreed [[Thee_Boss]] would help and allow for [[cadenwantstoes]] to use and campaign on his MAST plan.

=== '''Candidate propaganda and campaign''' ===

As had been the case for the last few elections, propaganda usage in form of pictures became less common. Four people ([[cadenwantstoes]], [[gorkymoo1119]], [[Thee_Boss]] and [[UsualKostas]]) would use image propaganda, with more focus put on text in promoting campaigns. Mass-campaigning was used less and more debate took place. Despite this, candidates who used propaganda more still received more votes, with 3 of the most prominent campaigns having their candidate get into office ([[cadenwantstoes]], [[gorkymoo1119]] and [[Lopile]]).

== 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.

== Aftermath ==

[[File:MarchGovernmentNubia.png|thumb|The government elected]]

=== Results ===

Despite a trend of stable election results prior, many results were closer in the March elections. Of the 5 Ministers elected, 3 of the races were somewhat close. The Ministers elected would be [[Driifter]] as Municipal Development, [[gorkymoo1119]] as Foreign Affairs, [[cadenwantstoes]] as Trade and Commerce, [[Lopile]] as Defence and [[Mengan_]] as Minister of Cultural Affairs.

Unlike the [[February 2021 Nubia elections|February elections]], only 2 positions had winners by landslides, that being the races for Foreign Affairs (won by [[gorkymoo1119]]'s [[Gorkymoo1119's campaign for the March 2021 Nubia elections|campaign]]) and Municipal Development (won by [[Driifter]]). This was credited to their lack of strong and heavily supported opponents, with Cultural Affairs and Defence being the 2 races with more focus.

=== Resignation of Driifter ===

On the 13th March 2021, [[Driifter]] would resign from her office as Minister of Municipal Development. As per the [[Constitution of the Second Nubian Empire|constitution]] procedure, the office would be transferred to the individual who had the second largest amount of votes in the March elections, being [[UsualKostas]].

+== Predictions ==
+{{Main article|Predictions for the March 2021 Nubia elections}}
+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.
+== Aftermath ==
+[[File:MarchGovernmentNubia.png|thumb|The government elected]]
+=== Results ===
+Despite a trend of stable election results prior, many results were closer in the March elections. Of the 5 Ministers elected, 3 of the races were somewhat close. The Ministers elected would be [[Driifter]] as Municipal Development, [[gorkymoo1119]] as Foreign Affairs, [[cadenwantstoes]] as Trade and Commerce, [[Lopile]] as Defence and [[Mengan_]] as Minister of Cultural Affairs.
+Unlike the [[February 2021 Nubia elections|February elections]], only 2 positions had winners by landslides, that being the races for Foreign Affairs (won by [[gorkymoo1119]]'s [[Gorkymoo1119's campaign for the March 2021 Nubia elections|campaign]]) and Municipal Development (won by [[Driifter]]). This was credited to their lack of strong and heavily supported opponents, with Cultural Affairs and Defence being the 2 races with more focus.
+=== Resignation of Driifter ===
+On the 13th March 2021, [[Driifter]] would resign from her office as Minister of Municipal Development. As per the [[Constitution of the Second Nubian Empire|constitution]] procedure, the office would be transferred to the individual who had the second largest amount of votes in the March elections, being [[UsualKostas]].
