Presidential elections were held in the Orange Free State in December 1888.[1] The elections saw a victory for popular political figure and war hero Francis William Reitz.[2] As the election followed the death of incumbent president Johannes Brand, Reitz ran unopposed. Pieter Jeremias Blignaut, who was acting president following Brand's death, refused to seek election.
