The 1920 Central Shaneville Presidential election was held on the 10 October 1924. Ben Murker and the Liberals were the incumbent president and party respectively who were both looking for a record third term.

Pre-election an act was also added in Parliament that changed several things in the electoral system, all parties were now on all of the district ballots whilst a new political party called the "Progressive Party" was making plans to run in the 1924 election.

French-born former Senator and Governor of the Northern town of Bastia - Jean André became leader of the Conservatives following former leader James Graves untimely death in 1922.

The Progressive Party's aim was to bring Central Shaneville "into the 20th century" and were seen as a threat to the two major parties, the new leader of the Progressive Party was former mayor of Bayside and former Labour Party member, William Mackenzie.
