Willem Darnant

Willem Darnant (1879- 2 March 1956) was a Brunanter politician and President from 1934-1941 and 1945-1951. Darnant was president during the German Invasion of 1941. He tried to flee Brunant but was captured by the Nazis and put under arrest. He then joined the Royal Guard in 1944 as an officer before returning as president in 1945.

Biography
He was re-elected president in 1940.

Darnant was freed from prison in March 1944 in a daring raid by the Underground Revolution.

In 1945 he was again asked to stand as the Liberal Party's candidate in the elections. There was much controversy as he was already elected to a second term and ineligible for a third, but due to his term being cut short, and his imprisonment, he was allowed to stand and won, but not by a significant majority.

Darnant died in 1956 at the age of 77 due to heavy smoking.
