"India's 2024 Election: The World's Largest Democratic Exercise"

India is gearing up for its multiphase general elections from April 19 to June 1, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking a third term. The elections will determine the country's political direction for the next five years. India has a parliamentary system of governance with over 960 million eligible voters, and voter turnout is usually high. Modi's tenure has seen efforts to reshape India as a Hindu-first nation, leading to religious and ethnic tensions, but the electoral process is still considered free and fair.

Erdogan's fate hangs in the balance as Turkey votes in key election.

Turkey is set to hold its most important presidential and parliamentary elections since 1950, with President Erdogan facing his toughest challenge yet from opposition candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu. The elections come amid a cost-of-living crisis and earthquakes that killed over 50,000 people. Erdogan is offering a vision of further development, while Kilicdaroglu is pledging further democratisation and to roll back Erdogan’s “one-man rule”. The most recent polls show Kilicdaroglu leading Erdogan in the presidential race, while the AK Party is predicted to be the largest party in the Grand National Assembly.

Turkish Elections: Tensions, Violence, and Online Censorship

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his Justice and Development Party (AKP) are hoping to remain in power in the country's parliamentary and presidential elections on May 14. The main opposition coalition is made up of an eclectic mix of six political parties, and a win for them would mean a return to a parliamentary system of governance. The elections are expected to be the closest race in the country's recent electoral history, with concerns including how voting will take place in the earthquake zone and whether Erdoğan would concede and step down if he loses.
