Sonders was immediately fired by Bourassa whilst Bourassa then stated that he would not seek the Presidency in the 1972 election.

The 1968 Central Shaneville Presidential election was held on the 8 November 1968.

The candidates of the four parties at the election all agreed that the islands needed to be prosperous, it also needed to be a strong and stable economy which was needed along with increased research and development to ensure that the islands could compete in the modern world which was met with mixed reactions from the public as they prefered Central Shaneville's neutrality on the international stage as its a commonwealth and not a full nation.

The Liberals were expected to win again as the people of Central Shaneville seemed to be happy with them as a party, though the Conservatives were expected to do better than they had in the past - The New Democrats and Social Credit were considered to be the parties of the underclass, they had few issues that were of any real importance and had rather inconsistent results over the past elections.

The Conservative Party hit a scandal on the election campaign trail when it was revealed that a government minister, Walter Sonders, had taken cash payments from an American oil company, and not declared the money as part of his income. Sonders was immediately fired by Bourassa whilst Bourassa then stated that he would not seek the Presidency in the 1972 election.

After the election, The Conservatives were able to grab some seats back from the Liberals however the Liberals still win a majority and Steve McLaren retains his presidency for a record breaking official third term.
