Jirenan Emergency Election
After a shocking scandal in Jirena, President Heath Barron chose to hold a recall election to replace himself as President. He decided he would not run, instead choosing to quietly remain in office until his term expired. These are the candidates who choose to run.

Chris Kirk - Liberal
Chris Kirk is President Barron's Vice President. He had previously been a member of parliament who was from Accrilla, and he had served under the Green Party. He has fairly average, center left beliefs, although he deeply cared about environmental issues, hence being part of the Greens. He has campaigned mostly on continuing President Barron's style of ruling, however with more of a focus on environmental issues and none of the scandals.

Bill Malten - Conservative
Bill Malten served under Former President Jared Kirschner as his Secretary of Defence. After Former President Kirschner was recalled, Bill Malten was elected as Mayor of Cape Noire in 2018. A few months later, he ran for a Seat in Parliament located in Cape Noire, and he shockingly won, despite it being a Liberal wave year. He was a vocal critic of Heath Barron, criticizing him for his healthcare and gun policies. Generally, he is a Protestant Conservative who has a few populist beliefs.

Peyton C. Willenn - Green
Peyton Clair Willenn was previously the President of Jirena from 2018 to 2020. She was a member of the Socialist Party, but she was blamed for the Jirenan Economic Recession of 2019. She ultimately dragged the party in the parliament, and was not re-elected. Due to this, she was kicked out of the Socialist Party, and had to go with the Green Party during this election. She is a Democratic Socialist with enough environmentalist policies to be allowed into the Green Party.

No other candidates are projected to get over 1% in this race.
