Sir John Goodwin is the Prime Minister of Ibagli. He has served as Prime Minister since 18 November 2006. This is his second period as Prime Minister, having served from 1994 to 2004.
Born in London, his family moved to Ibagli in 1947. He attended Exeter, Thistledowne, and Cambridge, receiving a doctorate in economics. For a short period of time he was a professor at Thistledowne.
In 1976, he was elected to the House of Commons, but lost the seat in the election in 1977. In 1978 he returned to the House in a by-election. In 1985, he was selected to be Minister of Foreign Affairs in the government of Charles Forrester. He also served in the short-lived administration of Thomas Harlington.
After the resignation of Harlington, Goodwin was appointed interim leader of the Conservative Party. He was later elected to the leadership of the party in 1990. The Conservatives won the 1994 election, and Goodwin was appointed Prime Minister. He was reelected in 1999.
After two subsequent election losses in 2004, Goodwin was replaced as party leader by Clinton Roser. In May 2006, Goodwin challenged Roser for the leadership of the party, and won the subsequent leadership election.
The Conservative Party won the November 2006 General Election, and Goodwin was again appointed Prime Minister.
