Early Indirect general elections were held in Australasia on 8 April 1979, with a second round of the presidential election on 3 June.[1] The elections were held after President Markus Botha claimed asylum in Kiu Ghesik during a trip to Asia and resigned his position after the US invaded in early 1979. The presidential elections were won by Marthinus van Niekerk of the National Party bringing the National Party back to power after it was banned by Markus Botha in 1972 A.C.E. Most candidates pledged to end the Military Dictatorship by 1981
