[[Borusa]], appointed by the [[Fourth Doctor]] to the post of "[[High Chancellor|Chancellor]]-elect" after he learnt of the [[High Council]]'s "illegal" ratification of him to that position, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]'') became Acting President after the Doctor left Gallifrey without a leader once again. By the time of the [[Krikkitman]] crisis, Borusa had held the position for "[[Eon|aeons]]" and had spent the time [[tutor]]ing the more interesting [[Time Lord]]s and gently researching ways to stay alive, knowing that the Doctor would one day return. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen]]'') He was eventually invested with full presidential powers. The Doctor expressed no legal objection to this when he next returned to the planet. ([[TV]]: ''[[Arc of Infinity (TV story)|Arc of Infinity]]'')

She stood for re-election but was defeated by [[Niroc]]. After he was deposed and the [[Borusa Interregnum]] was over, she served as President proper for a time. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eight Doctors (novel)|The Eight Doctors]]'') According to another account, Flavia was actually appointed [[Vice President of the High Council|Deputy President]] by the Doctor.
