The 3rd Annual Wiltshire Presidential Election was held on Friday, 14 January 3022. The incumbent President, Sonya Inyo, narrowly won a second term in office. The election was held alongside the January 3022 Wiltshire General Election, which saw the President's alliance in the Stability Party and in Kaitiaki Ropu secure an overall majority. Inyo's second election victory would be her last national campaign as, in August 3022, she confirmed that she would not seek a third term in power.
The election saw the former Labour Foreign Minister, Jordis Dagmar, present opposition to Inyo on a platform of political revitalization, arguing that Inyo's tenure as President and previously as Prime Minister was "incompatible" with a progressive, peace time Wiltshire. His arguments did not hold up very strongly, however, as Inyo secured 51.26% of the popular vote. She successfully secured victories in the cities of Arches, Lorikeet, Newton, Walkerton and Washington.
This remains the most recent Presidential election in which a former Prime Minister was elected and the closest presidential election in Wiltshirian history. Inyo's second term as President was dominated by the Bill Woodking corruption scandal, which ultimately prompted her announcement that she would not seek a third term.
