J Andres Presidential Election, 2096

The 2096 J Andres Presidential Election was held on October 24, 2096 to elect the President of J Andres

Background
The 2096 election was seen by many to be a response to the failed presidency of Bruce Aurora, who was assassinated after three years. The country was still reeling from the aftermath of the Grand Mexican War and the electorate was outraged. King Phillippe set forth a social agenda and endorsed his brother Pierre Bourbon for the Presidency, and his cousin, Mateo Bourbon, for the Premier. The election was one of the largest landslides in J Andres history, considering the fractured votes of multiple parties. Pierre Bourbon won a plurality of the vote. Upon his election, he announced he would renounce all honors and titles associated with his nobility to better serve the citizenry.

Appointments
As the thirteenth President, Bourbon determined the positions of Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of War and Defense were outdated, and did not suit the necessities of the times. He abolished both positions.
