unopposed
Facing no competition
Unopposed means without opposition or resistance.
A candidate who runs unopposed faces no challenger: She won the election unopposed.
An army advancing unopposed meets no enemy resistance.
The word often implies ease or inevitability—what might have been contested simply wasn't: The motion passed unopposed.
