As incumbent [[Procurator]] and [[Chancellor and Temporary President|Chancellor]], [[Livio Iarnán]] ([[Solidarity Party (Urcea)|Solidarity]]) occupied a central place in the Urcean political system not held by an individual in two decades. Accordingly, both Solidarity and the rival [[National Pact (Urcea)|National Pact]] made Iarnán the central issue in the 2030 elections, transforming the entire down-ballot election into a referendum on his leadership. | |||
Iarnán, entering his tenth year as leader of the Daoni and fifth as incumbent Procurator, had a decent level of support coming into the 2030 election season, but not an overwhelming public mandate: his approval rating sat at 52% on 1 January 2030. Most major political analysts projected that Iarnán was in a "good, but not great" position for reelection, and that much of the year's result would depend on the intracacies of the campaign. Iarnán's opponents, both from the right and left, leveled two main accusations at him which became the focus of the ensuing campaign despite continued efforts by Solidarity to change the narrative. | |||

During the [[2025 Urcean elections]], Iarnán and Solidarity made significant campaign promises both related to implementation of the [[Model Economy]] as well as electoral reform. Neither came to be during the 2026-30 term, although the Model Economy was implemented as a {{wp|Pilot experiment|pilot program}}. Although the National Pact opposed both of these issues, its top leaders nonetheless seized on these two issues in particular to demonstrate Iarnán was an ineffective leader and that the Solidarity-led Daoni was a "do-nothing" body for the 2026-30 session. These attacks were amplified from the left, a constituency which supported both measures, stating that Iarnán had misled the public on these reforms and had no intention of fully delivering either item. By February, a series of television, internet, and radio ads run by both the Pact and [[Social Labor Party (Urcea)|Social Labor Party]] began to have a noticable impact on polling figures, with a 22 Feburary 2030 poll of Urceans indicating that only 34% of Urceans believing that Iarnán was "fully capable" of delivering on his electoral promises. | |||
