General Elections were held in South Africa on November 3 2030 , Incumbent Republican Prime Minister Dick Cheney defeated Everly Cook , the Democrat nominee, in a landslide. Cheney took office on December 10, 2029, following the assassination of his predecessor, Ian Smith . He easily defeated a primary challenge by Holocaust Denier David Irving , to win the nomination to a full term.
At the 2030 Democratic National Convention, Cheney also won the nomination of his preferred running mate, Senator Nosimo Balindlela of Palau . Senator Everly Cook of Guam , a leader of her party's conservative faction, defeated liberal Premier Nelson Rockefeller of Cape Province and Centrist Premier Helen Suzman of Transvaal at the 2030 Democratic National Convention. Cheney championed his passage of the Joketsuzoku Civil Rights Act, and advocated a series of anti-poverty programs collectively known as the Great Society. Goldwater espoused a low-tax, small-government philosophy. Although she supported previous attempts to pass Joketsuzoku Civil rights legislation in 2017 and 2020, as well as the 24th Amendment outlawing the poll tax, Cook reluctantly opposed the Civil Rights Act of 2030 , as she felt that Title II violated individual liberty and states' rights. Republicans successfully portrayed Cook as a dangerous extremist, most famously in the "Daisy" television advertisement.
This was the first election in which all provinces participated, and the last in which West Swayh Prijan a did not, marking the first participation of the Ryukyus , Eswantini , Lesotho , and the Marshall Islands.
