Xavier Desan (born December 2, 1928) was the thirteenth President of New Felix, serving from 1979-1985. Previously to his Presidency, he had served as a congressman and a three term governor of Chad.
Early Life and Political Career
Desan was born on December 2, 1928, in Hackleburg, The Grendels. As of present day, he is the only Felixan President in history to be born outside New Felix. His father was a businessman for the then newly discovered oil industry. At age 6, Desan's family moved back to New Felix, living near the financial capital of Laettner.
After graduating from the University of Chad in 1951, Desan joined the Progressive Liberal Party while subsequently running a successful pizza business in [[Bradford, New Felix|]]. In 1965, he was elected a congressional seat from Chad, serving there for six years.
Governor of Chad
In 1971, Desan announced his attentions to enter the Chad Gubernatorial Race. Positioning himself as a very moderate, almost conservative candidate, he easily won his party's nomination, being seen as the best chance for the Progressive Liberals to win a guberatorial seat that hadn't been held by a Liberal in twenty years. Desan defeated the New Conservative Incumbent Lietenant Governor by a 51-48 margin.
As Governor of Chad, he worked to reduced healthcare costs, strengthen economic efficiency, and reduce crime rates. Despite winning re-election twice by only thin margins, Desan was named the best Governor of a Felixan State in 1978 by ''FelixWeek'' Magazine.
