The Kennyite presidential election of 2010 was held on March 30, 2010. Voters re-elected Manuelo Fernanda as president and chose then-Secretary of State Sammy Faisano to be vice president. Fernanda and Faisano defeated Liberal candidates Harvey Bromowitz and Jim Hankley respectively. "Judge Sandy" Schweitzer also ran a strong independent campaign for the presidency in 2010, after failing to defeat Fernanda in the Conservative primaries.
Candidates
President
- Manuelo Fernanda was the Conservative nominee and the incumbent president.
- Sandy Schweitzer was a former federal judge and governor of Thorland, running as an independent.
- Harvey Bromowitz, a notorious radio shock-jock, was the Liberal nominee.
Vice President
- Sammy Faisano was then the secretary of state and a former ambassador to the United Nations, nominated by the Conservative party.
- Adriana Dreamcatcher was a private citizen and antiabortion activist chosen as Schweitzer's vice-presidential candidate.
- Jim Hankley was the Liberal nominee and a former and future Speaker of the Federal Assembly.
Background
Heading into 2009, polls showed incumbent Manuelo Fernanda with a commanding lead in the polls, despite growing concerns within his own Conservative base about the never-ending parade of sex scandals and the administration's libertarian policies. The president maintained a strong approval rating -- with Conservatives and independents in particular still giving him high marks -- and was expected to win in a landslide. Nevertheless, Judge Sandy Schweitzer saw cracks in his Conservative support (with as much as 25% indicating they'd rather nominate someone else) and embarked on a media tour to blast Fernanda's moral deficiencies. Increasingly voters said they shared Schweitzer's concerns, though polls still showed Fernanda would win the Conservative nomination easily. On February 2009 Schweitzer officially announced she would challenge Fernanda for the 2010 Conservative nomination.
Vice President Antigone Morgan announced she would not run for another term, and endorsed her friend Sammy Faisano, then the secretary of state, to succeed her.
