As discontent with the Kirosocialist system swelled in the Federacy's largest state, Candrin announced his candidacy for the 21180 gubernatorial election. Though a member of the Shaftonist-minded reformist Moderate Republican Party, Candrin was also able to secure the endorsement of the pro-market protest party Excelsior, forming a united front against the Kirosocialist-compliant Kiygrava Democratic Union that had ruled the state for decades.The ensuing gubernatorial race quickly assumed a national profile. Candrin reached out to reformists in other states, claiming that "if Kirosocialism is overthrown in Kiygrava, its fate throughout the realm is sealed." | As discontent with the Kirosocialist system swelled in the Federacy's largest state, Candrin announced his candidacy for the 21180 gubernatorial election.

The initial phase of Candrin's campaign proved disappointing: Initially intending to solicit passive support from both of Valēka's municipal parties, Candrin failed to gain any measure of support from either the Emerald Civic Alliance or even his own former Azure Civic Union, both of which were unwilling to disrupt the status quo or jeopardise the flow of federal funds to the city through Kirosocialist programmes. Thus, the Candrin campaign was forced to adopt a more grassroots approach, courting business interests large and small, various ethnic communities, professional groups, and a few trade unions that had suffered from Kirosocialist central planning, in order to establish an independent base of support in the state's principal city. | The initial phase of Candrin's campaign proved disappointing: Initially intending to solicit passive support from both of Valēka's municipal parties, Candrin failed to gain any measure of support from either the Emerald Civic Alliance or even his own former Azure Civic Union, both of which were unwilling to disrupt the status quo or jeopardise the flow of federal funds to the city through Kirosocialist programmes.
