The Craftian presidential election of 1995 was the 3rd presidential election and the inaugural direct presidential election. It was held on Sunday, 9 April 1995. In previous elections, the president was elected by the Craftian House of Representatives. This was the first election in which the president was elected by popular vote. In addition, this was the first election in which presidential alliances were permitted (in previous elections all nominees were required to be nonpartisan or independent). Incumbent president Thomas Jeffrey defeated Nationalist nominee Edmund Johnson in the runoff vote, in a still-existing record landslide.
