J Andres Presidential Election, 2104

The 2104 J Andres Presidential Election was held on October 9, 2104 to elect the President of J Andres

Background
After the 2100 election, the Labor party held all positions of power, and notably, the Bourbon family held the monarchy, the presidency, and the premiership.

The Labor party doubled down on their nationalization attempts and leveraged early successes of the National Rail Company to prove that they could build a new world with all the luxuries of the old one.

This was met with major opposition by the Libertarian party who still saw private industry as the key to sparking the economy. However, a the Libertarian party convention, they found it difficult to find a consensus candidate. They nominated Walter Kennedy as their Presidential candidate, although he was disliked by many since he also supported nationalization of certain industries. He was thought to be a palatable alternative.

The other political parties did not field Presidential candidates, although they did compete in the Commune elections. The Communist party struggled to find enthusiasm in its typical voters as many had flocked to the Labor party. The Communist party would eventually dissolve after the 2104 elections.

Appointments
President Bourbon eliminated all Minister positions in 2096 and did not make any new appointments in 2100.
