The 1960 Central Shaneville Presidential election was held on the 11 November 1960.

By the time the 1960 Presidential election rolled around, John Dunster became the longest sitting Central Shaneville president at 11 years and 97 days, a record at that point - he had also served 3 terms making him the first president to do so (though his first term was as interim president following the death of then President Louis Banderas.)

Having taken over from Louis Banderas in 1949, he then won his first term in 1952 and won re-election in 1956, he is seen as a political and moral authority figure on the island nation to this day and is one of the most famous Central Shaneville figures.

As for the 1960 election, Dunster didn't stand again and instead threw his support behind his successor in the Liberal Party: Steve McLaren who knew he wasn't going to get it easy as Dunster had done such a good job especially in building infrastructure and foreign relations.

Steve McLaren was the son of the Foreign Minister and a well known businessman, this is the first time the McLaren family has had any real political influence in the area, and with Dunster stepping aside, things look to be in good hands, another "out of the box" candidate decided to run this time it was The New Democratic Party, whose power in parliament was shrinking, chose a popular singer called Bob Dylan who went by the name of "Boots" when performing which was met with awkward silence from Parliament with some members saying that the NDP is "losing the plot."

Steve McLaren and the Liberal Party won the election causing McLaren to become the 9th President of Central Shaneville however it was only a minority government which was a big blow to the party.
