He served as the Governor of [[Zaonce]] prior to assuming the [[Alliance]] presidency in 3303, and successfully ran for re-election in October 3304 against entrepreneur [[Fazia Silva]] and [[Council Member]] [[Elijah Beck]]. He was a vocal proponent of streamlining the Alliance's bureaucracy by expanding the powers of the office of Alliance President, but his proposal was ultimately rejected by the [[Alliance Assembly]] in favor of the creation of a presidential diplomatic corps.

In May 3305, Councillor Beck accused Kincaid of campaign finance violations, and the Assembly approved a formal inquiry into the allegations.

*[[President of the Alliance|President]] Gibson Kincaid has refuted allegations of illegal campaign funding and is refusing to cooperate with the official inquiry. He gave this statement to The [[Alliance Tribune]]: "The claims are nothing more than an attempt to besmirch my reputation. [[Council Member|Councillor]] [[Elijah Beck]] has fabricated this wild [[mudlark]] chase as revenge for his loss to me in the presidential vote last year. If the [[Alliance Assembly|Assembly]] wants to entertain conspiracies, they could review the assassination of [[Fazia Silva]], the third presidential candidate. It's interesting that Beck's own campaign gained a lot of support after Silva was murdered." The [[Bank of Zaonce]] has also declined the inquiry's requests for information. A spokesperson insisted that all campaign funds it handles adhere to strict financial guidelines. They added that Beck's evidence was deemed insufficient until a verified source could be provided.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5cd54f96aa63b044f8651256 GalNet: President Kincaid Denies Corruption]</ref>

*[[President of the Alliance|President]] Gibson Kincaid has been accused of receiving illegal campaign funding via the [[Bank of Zaonce]]. [[Council Member|Councillor]] [[Elijah Beck]] presented evidence to a special session of the [[Alliance Assembly]]: "During September 3304, President Kincaid's re-election campaign received several billion credits worth of undeclared funds. I have received data suggesting that these transactions were secretly arranged by a senior figure within the Bank of Zaonce. Regrettably I cannot reveal the source of this evidence since it constitutes part of an ongoing investigation. However, I call upon the Assembly to open an official inquiry to establish if there was any violation of campaign finance law." Councillor Beck's proposal was approved by a majority vote, after which [[Alliance Prime Minister|Prime Minister]] [[Edmund Mahon]] authorised the inquiry to begin immediately. As yet there has been no comment from President Kincaid.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5cc9690178c2a0747d0fdbe2 GalNet: President Kincaid Illegal Funding Allegations]</ref>
