1138 Breadian presidential election

The 1138 Breadian presidential election was the 3rd presidential election. It was held on the 15th of May 1138, as was mandated by the Constitution of the 7th Breadian Republic, in conjuncture with the vice presidential election. Which has been marked in history as it is the first Presidential election without a runoff, but also because of it's victor, Blake Aiken who defeated challenger Henderson Vaudeville. Blake Aiken from the IA and the Union (BIP-RLF-IA Union) had defeated Henderson Vaudeville, leader of the Social Democrats (National Social Democratic Party), once already in the Vice Presidential elections of 1134, four years prior. Aiken became the first candidate to directly succeed a President of the same party who he had worked for as Vice President the term prior. It was also the first election to not allow a president to run for reelection as the constitution barred incumbent president, Daniel Bisharp, from running for a third term. While also being the first election that a Conservative Party member did not contest.

Results
In the first round Blake Aiken took the lead with a whopping majority of 57.2% of votes, followed by Vaudeville with 25.3% and lastly Helena Glacier of the Workers Party of Breadia and Westerwald with 17.5% of the vote. Because Aiken won with 57.2%, this election has been marked because of the lack of need for a second vote, while also signaling the rise of nationalism and far-right extremism in Breadia.

This was the first election, presidential or vice presidential, where a candidate won every state. Blake Aiken won a majority in every state in the nation excluding two, those being Newton where he won 49% and Riverside where he won 35.6%. The small margin of victory in Riverside was due to Vaudeville and Glacier having split the vote between themselves with only 10,000 votes separating the two.
