Confederate States Elections 1890

With the conclusion of first two-year session coinciding with the DeWitt Presidency, the House of Representatives is officially declared dissolved by the Speaker of the House, Martyn Reed, in anticipation of the 1890 Midterm Elections, and the First Congressional Session to be formally concluded on the 3rd of Pluvius/January 3 next year. In addition, Class I of the Congressional Senate is also dissolved to make way for elections, as announced by Vice President and President of the Senate Jojen Kilroy. The election results are as follows:

SENATE ELECTIONS (CLASS I)
States of: Delmarva, Elizabeth, Gadsden, Raleigh, Victoria, and West Elizabeth (24 senators in total)
—Social Populist Party (SPP): 18
—Federal Centrist Party (FCP): 0
—National Patriotic Party (NPP): 0
—Republican-Democratic Party (R-D): 4/0
—Columbian Progressive Party (CPP): 2
—Other political parties: 0

HOUSE ELECTIONS (NATIONAL)
—Social Populist Party (SPP): 69
—Federal Centrist Party (FCP): 44
—National Patriotic Party (NPP): 37
—Republican-Democratic Party (R-D): 55/12
—Columbian Progressive Party (CPP): 33
—Other political parties: 5

In the Senate, the SPP retains a relative majority, but far from a 2/3 majority. The SPP also retains a larger representative count, but has decreased from its previous numbers, though similarly on achieved plurality. President DeWitt heralded talks between the SPP, the CPP, and the liberal wings of the FCP and R-D to form a coalition Congress, encompassing the Senate and the House of Representatives, to ascertain control over both chambers. The coalition would bring up SPP numbers (primary representatives and coalition representatives) in the House to 136 against 119 representatives in total, and the Senate with 38 against 30 senators in total.
