Hitler finally gained political power in 1930 as the Nazi party went from 12 seats in the Reichstag to 107, making it the second largest party in the legislature, and the nominal opposition party. This enabled Hitler to run for President in 1932, and although he still came in second to Hindenburg, his power base was dramatically larger.
