After {{Delgado}} assassinated the [[Time Lord]] President, the [[Fourth Doctor]] put himself forward as a candidate for election to gain legal protection. The only other candidate was [[Goth]], who was in league with the Master and who was subsequently killed. The Doctor left [[Gallifrey]] without assuming the office of President.

He arrived on Gallifrey and claimed the title of President, then deactivated the [[transduction barrier]]. The [[Capitol]] was placed under Vardan control.

Indeed, the Vardans had been doubly duped. Their invasion was no more than a front for the [[Sontaran]]s, who marched into the [[Panopticon]] and took control. The Sontarans, led by [[Stor]], easily overcame Time Lord resistance, helped by the sycophantic [[Castellan]], [[Kelner]]. | Indeed, the Vardans had been doubly duped.
