Let's say you actually manage to scrape together a group of organizers and vote-counters, and a person gets elected with, say, 60% of the vote. The other 40% is gonna be pretty grumpy, and there will be some in that group that claim that the vote was stacked. And within that group there will be some that will use violence against vote counters.

Of course more likely the winning candidates has less than 50% of the vote between all the factions, in which case you still have the majority of the country unhappy and with unrest already soaring and several of those factions already previously openly revolted very recently.

Going of your own statistics the main two parties only have about the support of about a third of the population each, with a large ideological gap between them and large numbers of radical factions that lean towards either side. No matter how an election went somewhere between a half and two-thirds of the population would be unhappy, and that's assuming you even get a half the population to actually participate in the elections (between all the unrest and probably some groups boycotting that'd be difficult). You'll have calls of vote stacking, some parliamentary groups refusing to participate...
