The September 2022 Danzilonan general election was the third general election in the Free Danzilonan Republic's existence, held between August 29 and August 31, 2022.[1] The election decided who would hold the three executive offices of the FDR: Foreign Minister, Interior Minister, and Defence Minister. The Bonapartist offshoot wing of the Socialist Party of Danzilona defeated a slate of candidates from a variety of parties- including the newly formed Decent Party, Danzilonan Progressive National Citizen Conservancy of the Republic, and the SPD itself- in the votes for all three positions, elevating the Bonapartist leader Des23 to the unofficial position of First Consul. Although the election is not the first election in Danzilonan history where one candidate ran for all three positions, it was notable for being the first and only one where that candidate actually won them since the foundation of the first Danzilonan governmental system on January 18, 2014.[2]

With Des having been considered an actual serious contender for all three positions simultaneously, the election was marred in controversy, as rival candidates attempted to outlaw holding multiple offices at once,[3] formed a shadow unity coalition where the DP endorsed the SPD candidate,[4] and modified the way votes are counted altogether after the election had begun.[5]
