The election took place within the context of the War of the Northern Confederation, which Procurator Michael Witte had begun and was initially unpopular before a string of victories reversed it as a political weakness. It was anticipated that Witte would stand for the National Social Union, but citing poor polling numbers and fatigue with his leadership, Witte elevated popular young Delegate James Cossus Reed to become Chancellor and Temporary President beginning in 2010. Fallshade capitalized on Reed's inexperience, citing his own military career and successes as Governor-General of the Archduchy of Urceopolis. Beyond the war, Fallshade's favorability ratings remained relatively constant in the lead-up to the election, while Reed's fluctuated due to lack of name recognition. It would be the last election that the National Social Union would nominate a candidate for.
