 +Three new candidates ran for the Member of Parliament seat: [[officials:legate|Legate]], Crystal and [[officials:buzzy_the_bee|Buzzy_The_Bee]]. Buzzy_The_Bee, known sometimes as "Sock", quickly gained popularity for her clear, concise campaigning and her willingness to keep in contact with her potential constituents. Legate was previously a Presidential candidate in the [[elections:02-15-23|last election on February 15]], but lost to incumbent [[civics:melonia:president|President]] [[officials:therandommelon|Michael Webb]] 8-5. They ran for office again, but this time as an M.P., mainly pushing their signature legislation, the Human Dignity Act, which aims to require permission from one or one's family to conduct ceremonies and use the likeness of a deceased player or pet. Crystal did not campaign very aggressively, and got the least amount of votes out of all candidates.
 +
 +A new political party was also formed during this election cycle: the [[parties:urf|United Republic Front]], formed by [[officials:legate|Legate]]. The URF party is seen as the successor to the [[parties:mr|Melonia Reborn]] party that existed in the [[elections:02-15-23|previous election]], but was disbanded due to its unpopularity that stemmed from its aggressive and propagandist campaign posters. In an [[businesses:mbc|MBC]] News interview on April 2, 2023, Legate stated: "I believe all ideas need a good and solid organization platform such as the URF, and the greatest key difference from M.R. is that it does not take Hitlerian aesthetics nor demagogue panic propaganda as selling points."
