The next lieutenant governor was elected on the same ticket, with incumbent Jude Hofschneider not running for re-election.

It also marked the first time since 1999 that only two political parties would compete in the elections, marking a return to a two-party system similar to that of the United States rather than the multi-party system, which began back in 1999 when the now dissolved Reform Party was first formed and went on to win a stunning victory by managing to elect Senator Ramon Deleon Guerrero to the senate,[3] that had defined the CNMI for nearly 15 years.

Covenant Party candidate Benigno Repeki Fitial was re-elected; his running mate Eloy Inos was elected to his first full term as lieutenant governor.

[11] Delegate Gregorio Sablan was endorsed by House Minority Whip Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Maryland) in October 2014.

On June 2, 2014, incumbent Saipan mayor Donald Flores, then in his second term, died in office following a stroke.

[15][14] Ramon B. Camacho, the chairman of the Saipan and Northern Islands Municipal Council, served as acting mayor until Tudela could return from Arizona to take the oath of office.

[14] Marian Tudela was sworn into office on June 8, 2014, by Governor Eloy Inos during a ceremony at the Coral Ocean Point Resort.

[18] Edward Manibusan, the former presiding judge of the Superior Court, defeated attorney Michael N. Evangelista handily.
