Background

Previous election

Visit main article: April 2021 Nubia elections

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, he had been a key figure in impeaching UsualKostas on similar charges.

Predictions

Visit main article: Predictions for the May 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.

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

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.

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, 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 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 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. 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.
