Supreme Chancellor Election, 32 BBY

"If this body is not capable of action, I suggest new leadership is needed."

- Padmé Amidala

In 32 BBY, an election was held by the Senate of the Galactic Republic for a new Supreme Chancellor after Chancellor Finis Valorum lost a Vote of No Confidence due to his mismanagement of the Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo. Though Senators Bail Antilles and Ainlee Teem were nominated as Valorum's successor, the Senate voted to elect Sheev Palpatine.
