The 1948 Central Shaneville Presidential election was held on the 12 November 1948, Louis Banderas entered the election as the incumbent president.
As the campaign trail rolled on however, the Liberals seat predictions kept decreasing whilst the Conservatives under Lomax and New Democratic Party under MacMillan gained seats after the two parties unleashed attack advertising campaigns on incumbent President Banderas - with the Liberals in a tight race to keep their majority, Banderas decided to try and appeal to the younger voters of Central Shaneville by vouching for the importance of "family" whilst also claiming that if the Conservatives got back into power they would take food away from the people of Central Shaneville who need it in an attack campaign of his own.
The results of the 1948 election sees the Liberals win a minority government in what was a major blow for the party as they lost their majority, incumbent President Louis Banderas wins a second term as President of Central Shaneville.
Unlike the 1944 election, there was no voter count issues.
Louis Banderas' second term as President, this time his Liberal party in charge of a minority government is cut short as he dies of a heart attack whilst on vacation in 1949 - The Liberals, instead of calling for a re-election, sworn in deputy leader of the party, John Dunster, who took over the Sassari district seat from Banderas however nothing significant happened during Dunster's term as "interim president" so he is not usually talked about as being a "good" president.
