Incumbent
The
incumbent is the current holder of a political
office. This term is usually used in reference to
elections, in which races can often be defined as being between an incumbent and non-incumbent(s). For example, in the
2012 United States presidential election,
Barack Obama was the incumbent, because he had been the president in the previous term while the election sought to determine the president for the current term. A race without an incumbent is referred to as an
open seat.
