The incumbent George Maxwell Richards was expected to be reelected after being approved as the only nominee by 15 MPs on 4 February 2008.[2]
The election was held through an electoral college consisting of a joint sitting of the two houses of parliament consisting of 73 representatives,[3] and Richards was reelected as expected.[4]
The Opposition party nominated no candidate, in part as a protest to a foregone conclusion of the result and a boycott of the process.
