The August 2024 HHW presidential election was held from August 23, 2024 to seven days later on August 30. A ceremonial election, it took the place of the cancelled April 2024 presidential election as the second HHW presidential election. The election was won in a landslide by incumbent President Alex.
Incumbent President Alex, first elected in 2022, successfully ran for re-election under the Based Party. Two other major candidates, Dynah and Mark, ran for their first term as President. Wiki leader Jordan (StrawberryMaster) originally announced their candidacy, but later dropped out of the race to endorse Mark. This election was the first to use a ranked choice voting system.
The blanket primary was competitive, but incumbent president Alex ultimately won exactly 50% of the first choice vote. After a day of voting, Dynah suspended her campaign and endorsed Alex after she agreed to appoint Dynah to the HHW Senate. Alex won the second round with 22 votes to Mark's 7. The HHW Senate election took place alongside the final round of voting.
At 11:30 PM Eastern Time, on August 27, Alex was declared the winner of the election with 52% of the expected vote reported. Despite this, both candidates continued to campaign. Alex campaigned for Based Party Senate candidates and those that plan to caucus with the party. Despite endorsing Alex for President, Dynah campaigned for AWLF Senate candidates, hoping to gain control of the senate. Although Jordan endorsed Mark for President and campaigned with him, she remained an independent and did not announce a plan to caucus with any party. During the Senate election, FCX agreed to caucus with the AWLF and was elected alongside 2 other Great Patriotic Tole Tole (AWLF-aligned coalition) members and 2 Based Party members.
