Voters from 50 countries including Modi, Putin, Biden, Imran, America, India, Bangladesh will vote, 2024 will be a record breaking year in terms of elections.

The year 2024 will be a record-breaking year in terms of elections. More than two billion voters from 50 countries, including the United States, India, Mexico and South Africa, will cast their ballots. All eyes will be on the United States, where a former president will run for re-election despite facing serious criminal charges. It remains to be seen who will compete with Vladimir Putin in Russia. In India, it will be interesting to see what the opposition can do to stop the wave of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In such a situation, let us know how the political world can change in 2024.

January: Demand for change in Bangladesh amid rising tension

Voting for general elections is going to be held in Bangladesh on January 7 and its results also seem already certain. Already, anti-government protests have been organized by the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party, whose top leaders are in jail or in exile. Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has boycotted the election due to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina not stepping down.

February: Elections in Pakistan and Indonesia

Elections are to be held within a week in Pakistan and Indonesia, the two most populous Muslim countries in the world in February. The general elections will be the first in Pakistan since the resignation of popular but controversial former Prime Minister Imran Khan on corruption charges. Khan remains the driving force behind his political party. Shortly thereafter, Indonesia will host the world’s largest single-day election, with more than 200 million voters in the country and 1.75 million Indonesian expatriates.

March: Vladimir Putin eyes the next six years

Russian President Vladimir Putin, buoyed by the success of his troops in maintaining their position in Ukraine two years after the war, is hoping to extend his 24-year rule for another six years in elections in March. On December 8, he announced he was running for a fifth term, which would keep him in power until 2030. In 2020 he amended the constitution to theoretically allow him to remain in power until 2036, which could potentially see him rule longer than Joseph Stalin. Since the war in Ukraine is used to shut down or silence dissidents and opponents, there is little chance of anyone standing in their way.

April-May: Will Modi magic work for the third time?

Nearly a billion Indians are set to vote in April-May when India holds general elections in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP party are seeking a third term. Modi’s political career and success is based on the support of India’s more than a billion Hindus and critics say he is stoking hostility toward the country’s Muslim minority. Despite a harsh crackdown on civil liberties under his watch, he became the clear favorite in the vote, with his supporters crediting him with raising their country’s standing on the global stage.

june: european parliament elections

More than 400 million people will be eligible to vote in the European Parliament elections in June, the world’s largest international election. The vote will be a test of support for right-wing populists, who are on edge after the victory of Geert Wilders’ anti-Islam, anti-EU PVV Freedom Party in November’s Dutch elections and the victory of Giorgia Meloni last year. However, Brussels could take heart from Poland, where former European Council President Donald Tusk has returned to power on a pro-EU platform.

July: Leftist former mayor and Indigenous businesswoman vie for first female leader

A leftist former mayor of the capital and a businesswoman with indigenous roots are both vying to make history in June by becoming Mexico’s first female president of a country with a tradition of masculinity. Former Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum is contesting on behalf of outgoing President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s Morena party. His vocal rival Xochitl Gálvez has been elected to represent the opposition coalition, Broad Front for Mexico.

November: Trump-Biden contest

On Nov. 5, millions of Americans will choose a president in a contest that could keep incumbent Joe Biden in power until he is 86. Survey after survey shows that a majority of voters think the errant Democrat is too old to be commander-in-chief, despite his potential rival, former President Donald Trump, being similarly old at 77. Are making mistakes. Disinformation appears to have become a feature of the campaign, a hangover from the previous foul-mouthed contest, which ended with Trump supporters storming the US Capitol to try to stop the certification of Biden’s victory. Despite several criminal cases pending against him, Trump has become the clear favorite in the Republican Party nomination contest.
