The US Libertarian Party is the first political party that nominated their candidate for the presidential elections in November. The political candidate is a former New Mexico Governor Harry Johnson, who participated in the elections 4 years ago.

He garnered 55.8% of votes in the party congress. His 5 opponents received less votes together, reports Fox News reports.

"I will work as hard as I can to represent everyone in this room," Johnson promised during the Congress in Florida.

In general, the Libertarian Party does not have any chance to win, but this time, as the channel reports, Johnson gets more than 10 percent. Given that Donald Trump from the Republicans and Hillary Clinton from the Democrats do not enjoy a great reputation, Johnson may have some prospects. The Libertarian Party this year celebrates the 45th anniversary of its establishment. The party advocates free market economy, free international trade, guarantees of citizens’ rights and freedoms, and non-interference policy in other countries' affairs. In 2012, Johnson received 1.27 million votes (one percent ) and took the 3rd place after the Democrat Barack Obama and the Republican Mitt Romney.
