The 2012 United States presidential election was the 57th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 6 2012. Incumbent Democratic president Francis Fukuyama and his running mate, Massachusetts Representative Nicholas Scutari, were re-nominated but were defeated by the Socialist/Kosuto Bloc/Republican/Populist coalition ticket of Stefan Löfven and Helen Garg.
As the incumbent president, Fukuyama secured the Democratic nomination without serious opposition. All of the main opposition parties (the Republican Party, Populist Party, the Socialist Party, and the Kosuto Bloc) agreed to coalition in opposition to Francis Fukuyama due to his unpopularity and they nominated Socialist Stefan Löfven for president and Republican Helen Garg for Vice President.
Most people weren't paying attention to if Stefan Löfven would win the election, but they were wondering by how much voters would vote for Löfven, what most did know is that Fukuyama would lose.
Löfven defeated Fukuyama, winning an astonishing 65% of the voters and 29 of the 35 states, Francis Fukuyama only got 29.3% of the vote and only 6 states to his name.
This election is regarded as one of the biggest electoral landslides in Columbian history and the biggest in the modern era of US politics, with Löfven winning by over 35%.
