Galactic Republic Senate election, 100 BBY (LAASWS)

The 100 BBY election to the Galactic Republic Senate took place in the immediate aftermath of the Mezzilenic War.

Prelude
Following the end of the Mezzilenic War and the collapse of Supreme Chancellor Signet Mezzileen's government, the acting Chancellor Harza Klim signed a treaty with the breakaway Jedi Coalition. This treaty reunited the two factions and promised elections by the end of the year while in the meantime Klim headed a interim administration. With the established Core Party having become increasingly unpopular due to its ties to Mezzileen and the Rim Party having lost much support to the radical Democratic Republican Party, the election looked set to set a new direction for the Republic.

However the Jedi were greatly distrustful of the Democratic Republican Party's leader Arf Fey'lya due to his actions before and during the war and hoped to look for an alternative that could stop Fey'lya getting into power. To this end they contacted their ally Merix Valorum, who had led the moderate faction of the Coalition and had wide popular support for his opposition to Mezzileen. Valorum agreed to stand against Fey'lya and he and his allies formed the Alliance Party, which was made of from supporters across the galaxy.

Campaigns
The Core Party was left with almost no support by the time of the elections and many of its key figures were either under arrest or had resigned and gone into exile from Coruscant.
