'''Frederick Oldenhof''' (b. ???? - d. ????) was a Count and a senior political figure in the [[Terran Hegemony]] during the closing years of the [[Star League]] era. In [[2766]], Oldenhof was serving as President of the [[Terran Congress]] when [[Stefan Amaris]] assassinated [[First Lord]] [[Richard Cameron]], launching his coup to take over the Terran Hegemony and ultimately the Star League. Amaris arranged for elections to be called within the Hegemony shortly after the assassination; the elections were to elect a new [[Director-General]] of the Terran Hegemony, and were to be held on 28 January [[2767]]. Until elections were held, Oldenhof's position as President of the Terran Congress led to him serving as Director-General Pro Tem until the election results were announced.<ref name="H:LoTV1p86">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 86, "Mandate of the People"</ref>
  
 
Oldenhof's name was included on the ballot automatically, with two members of the [[Hegemony High Council]] also choosing to run. These High Council members were [[Atrisha Kisabaka]] of [[Bryant]] and [[Somjit Berkhout]] of [[Fomalhaut]]; however, Amaris arranged for both Berkhout and Kisabaka to withdraw from the ballot prior to the election. Berkhout's name was withdrawn after the Fomalhautian was indicted for embezzlement; in Kisabaka's case, Amaris had her family rounded up and imprisoned in a gulag somewhere on the [[Terra|Terran]] continent of Africa. This led to Kisabaka withdrawing her name from the ballot to instead focus on "family needs", leaving Amaris to run effectively unopposed. This was just one of a number of ways in which Amaris and his supporters rigged the election, and resulted in him being elected to the post of Director-General on 30 January 2767, with Oldenhof having served as Director-General for just over a month.<ref name="H:LoTV1p86"/>
