2021-22 Laiorian constitutional crisis

The ongoing 2021 Lokemian constitutional crisis was triggered by the 2021 Lokemian general election. The result was a very close victory for the Labour Party of Lokemia and Magnus Sweinsson became Prime Minister and Emyr Andersen became Deputy Prime Minister. However, runners-up Iprongje Ubajrifla for Prime Minister and Baungu'ul Vokal'lirk for Deputy Prime Minister disputed the result, triggering a constitutional crisis.

Background
The election was a closely-fought one, with both tickets neck-and-neck in the polls. At the election, exit polls suggested a close victory for the Ubajrifla/Vokal'lirk ticket, however after the vote it was shown there were only 300 votes separating the two candidates, allowing the Sweinsson/Andersen ticket to call for a recount. They did so, and the recount showed a 451-vote victory for the Labour ticket. After two more recounts showed Labour victories and all potential recounts for the Ubajrifla/Vokal'lirk ticket were exhausted, the party which was originally forecast to win called for direct action.

Inauguration of Sweinsson and Andersen
As usual, Speaker Mätti Sirvonen called for the traditional inauguration of Sweinsson and Andersen on 2 February, 2021. However, Ubajrifla and Vokal'lirk organised a mass demonstration against the result on that day and after the inauguration clashes occurred between supporters of both, with Ubajrifla and Vokal'lirk refusing to accept the inauguration. While Sweinsson and Andersen called for calm, Ubajrifla continued to support mass action. Supporters of Ubajrifla and Vokal'lirk are now pressuring the military to overturn the election and for a fresh election to be called. This has been partially successful as some of the Lokemian military did break away and privatised the pro-Ubajrifla section, but this army faction was swiftly quashed and the ringleaders executed.
