Background
Faisano was a popular incumbent entering the 2015 race, yet still vulnerable due to a number of personal scandals that arose during his short time in office. This is nothing unusual, as Kennyite politicians are notoriously prone to scandal, but Faisano was initially perceived as "cleaner" than most of his contemporaries. That changed when Faisano was accused of engaging in a "corrupt bargain" with his friend, former Judge Sandy Schweitzer, who was alleged to have called in favors from her friends on the bench to assure that Faisano was declared president after Fernanda fled to Malibu Islands. This was followed up shortly after by the 2013 release of the Stark Report, which accused Faisano and his friend Antigone Morgan of lying under oath to conceal their past relationship. No charges were filed against either of them.
However, the president was able to reassure the public of his capabilities with victories over the Secretariat in seizing the Death Star from them, and over the Martian American States in a coup on the Red Planet. Thus Faisano was assured of no serious challenges for the Conservative nomination in 2014-15.
Liberal primaries
Former President John Thorne once again threw hat in the ring, only to have it stomped on by his longtime rival, former Assembly Speaker Jim Hankley. With the two of them holding each other back, Heimann-Weisenstaruss was able to sail past them to victory. A longtime pacifist and advocate of appeasement to terrorists, Heimann's slogan was "Make Omigodtheykilledkenny Cower Again."
