The 672 General Election was held on 16 September 2024, with campaigning beginning on 02 September 2024. Incumbent Chancellor Felix Hurst of the NUP announced his intention not to run for a third term. Days later, he was embroiled in a scandal which connected him to an assassination plot against Jack Williams after which he fled the country. The election for Chancellor was between Alexander Paramount of the NUP, Antonio Recio Rufián of SHRIMP and Jack Williams of the KSDP. The election for Assembly President was between Joseph Fala of the KSDP, Redmin P. Apple of SHRIMP and Joanna Sousa of the KWP. This was the first election without an election for Chief Justice due to the Second Amendment of the Constitution.
Rocked by the Hurst scandal, the National Unity Party suffered in the polls, with Alexander Paramount diverting efforts towards SHRIMP candidate Antonio Recio instead of fielding a candidate. Strong anti-establishment feelings amongst voters continued, with the two traditional parties of KWP and NUP losing further seats.
Jack Williams won the Chancellorship with 55% of the vote. As negotiations were underway for who would be the 'Kingmaker' in the election for Assembly President, the members who had supported Fala transferred their votes for Sousa. Sousa then became Assembly President.
The election ran for three days and was certified by the Public Service.
