election win
Successful campaign outcome
An election win is a victory in a competitive vote for office or position.
The phrase emphasizes the outcome rather than the process: Her election win surprised pollsters.
It appears frequently in headlines and political commentary, where compactness matters: The senator's narrow election win gave her little mandate.
