This was the 4th presidential election in POWER history. It was between Chaka Khan (Vice chair of the NDA) and Heydrich (Republican chair). It was Heydrich's second presidential run, but he failed to win the election.
It was also the first election in the POWER II era.
Election[]
Khan was some %'s behind, but she managed to win by using an exploit in which Khan switched to the Republican party. Many NDA members donated to the Democratic campaign, as opposed to the GOP, which wasn't organised properly. Eventually Khan won the election by minimal margin. Many GOP members blame each other for the loss, by saying they lost interest, notably John Heydrich himself, who then gave leadership of the party to Pizo.
It became the first presidential win for the New Deal Alliance and the 4th for left wing America.
