In 663, Maltravers would run for Chancellor with the National Unity Party against Joanna Sousa of the KWP. During the campaign he consulted with the then Chancellor Willard Magnus Ward for advice. Maltravers would win the Election with over 50% of the vote. As a result of winning, Maltravers decided to step down from running his family practice, handing over to his son Edmund Maltravers III.

 

Maltravers would assume office on the 18th January 663, succeeding Chancellor Magnus Ward. He ran on a platform of reinvesting the nuclear energy grid, loosening restrictions around abortion, beginning an anti smoking and alcohol campaign, and transportation improvement. His policy around loosening restrictions around abortion would shortly thereafter go through the General Assembly, it wasn't until later that legislation around the Nuclear Power Grid and Transportation would pass through.

 

 

Toward the end of the term, Maltravers's health had declined greatly. He had noticeably aged and was sleeping far more than usual. The effects of the Commune and the uprising had caused a majority of these issues. As the election period drew closer, Maltravers announced he would run to seek a second term. In October of 665 Maltravers would undergo a Coronary artery bypass graft.
