2020 Integritan presidential election

General elections were held in Integrita on Sunday, 26 January 2020 to elect the President and the Chamber of Deputies. Socialist Party candidate and civil rights activist Luisa María Pilar Varela won 55.07% of the vote against the conservative Samuel Evangelista of the New Republican Party, who won 43.89% of the vote.

In the 2016 elections, the right-wing New Republican Party had won a third consecutive election with absolute majorities in the Chamber of Deputies, despite the Senate being a non-partisan chamber, the Senate is composed of senators allied with the right-wing conservative party. The NRP's term in office еarned support through the expansion of the infrastructure as well as improving the HDI, but at the same time was undermined by an increasing budget deficit, along with rising inflation and unemployment. The election campaign focused primarily around the issue of crime, with each party proposing different solutions.

As incumbent president Reinaldo Gonçalves was unable to seek re-election due to constitutional term limits, the NRP nominated Samuel Evangelista as its presidential candidate. The Liberal Party nominated economist Casimiro Toledano, and the Socialist Party nominated civil rights activist Luisa María Pilar Varela.

Heading into the elections, opinion polls show Varela leading the polls scoring 50% and even more than 55%, showing the signs of the NRP losing the election. In the election, Varela defeated Evangelista by approximately ten percentage points, with Varela receiving 55% of the vote to less than 45% for Evangelista, marking this election as the first win for the Socialist Party after more than 2 decades. Despite the Liberal Party gaining the majority alongside the Socialist Party, this was the Liberal Party's worst election results, with Toledano only winning 1.05% of the vote. Varela became Integrita's first female president, as well as the youngest president in the history of the country, taking office at the age of only 33, as the minimum age required to be an eligable presidential candidate is 25-35 years old. Varela took office on the 29th of February 2020.
