The 1952 Central Shaneville Presidential election was held on the 14 November 1952.

The 1952 campaign trail is once again targeted by the other parties as a way to try and wrestle power away from the Liberals, they were successful in taking away the Liberal majority in 1948 however felt they can go one step further and called out Dunster for his inexperience - Dunster responded by saying that he intended to govern with the same experience and wisdom that had served his party so well in the past.

Following the election, John Dunster was declared President after winning a Liberal majority, he thanked the people of Central Shaneville for giving him a chance and vowed that if he didn't do a good enough job then he wouldn't run for re-election.
