This is achieved through a system of proportional completion using a new EU-wide seat quota.

A fragile democracy located in south Asia, Pakistan, the sixth most populous country in the world, is to hold elections to its lower house on 8 February 2024. The elections take place against a backdrop of multiple crises and political arrests, including former prime minister Imran Khan, banned from running despite his popularity. Three-time former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has returned to the country from exile in time to potentially secure a fourth term with the powerful military establishment's ...

Türkiye holds presidential and parliamentary elections on 14 May 2023, which could mark a political turnaround after two decades of increasing autocratic rule of the conservative Justice and Development Party (AKP) and its leader, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Erdogan faces an unprecedented challenge from the main opposition candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the head of the Republican People’s Party (CHP) and presidential nominee for the six-party Nation Alliance bloc. The elections take place amid ...

On 8 November 2022, the US will hold mid-term elections. All 435 seats of the House (of Representatives) and 35 of the 100 Senate seats are on the ballot. The mid-terms will not only shape the power distribution of the 118th US Congress (2023-2024) and the chances of legislation being passed in a highly polarised Congress but also provide insights into which direction the US may take in the 2024 presidential race. In mid-term elections, US voters typically set an end to a 'unified' government where ...

Mniej więcej pięć lat po zawarciu porozumienia pokojowego między rządem Kolumbii a Rewolucyjnymi Siłami Zbrojnymi Kolumbii (FARC) sytuacja polityczna, gospodarcza, zdrowotna i ogólna w tym kraju pozostaje niestabilna, z podzielonym społeczeństwem, konfliktami podsycanymi przez narkotyki i słabymi rządami. 2022 będzie kluczowym rokiem wyborczym, a ożywienie gospodarcze po pandemii koronawirusa pozostaje wyzwaniem. Prezydent Kolumbii Iván Duque Márquez wygłosi przemówienie w Parlamencie Europejskim ...

Since the overthrow of Muammar al-Qaddafi in a 2011 uprising, Libya has been mired in a civil war that has divided the international community and set several internal factions against one another. The ceasefire proclaimed on 23 October 2020 opened a path for a political process wherein an interim government led by Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah was able to lead the country to agreed presidential and parliamentary elections, to be held on 24 December 2021. These elections will be the first since ...

Poszanowanie podstawowych wolności jest jedną z głównych wartości, jakie UE propaguje poprzez swoją politykę zewnętrzną. Nagrodą im. Sacharowa Parlament Europejski wyraża uznanie dla pracy obrońców praw człowieka. Znaczenie nagrody nie słabnie, ponieważ w wielu częściach świata dochodzi do ataków na prawa człowieka. W tym roku przyznano ją działaczowi rosyjskiej opozycji Aleksiejowi Nawalnemu, którego odwaga w przeciwstawianiu się próbom uciszenia przypomina działalność dysydentów z czasów Związku ...

Kyrgyzstan is the most democratic but also the least stable of the former Soviet Central Asian republics. The most recent upheaval resulted in the cancellation of the October 2020 parliamentary elections. New elections scheduled for November 2021 are likely to consolidate the position of Sadyr Japarov, the country's new president. A controversial new constitution raises concerns over the future of Kyrgyz democracy.

On 17-19 September, Russia will hold elections at local, regional and national level, most importantly to the State Duma, the lower house of the Federal Assembly. Four hundred and fifty deputies will be elected for a five-year term. Ever since 2003, the State Duma has been dominated by the pro-Putin United Russia party, which currently holds a three-quarters supermajority. With the ruling party clearly in charge, the parliament serves as little more than a rubber stamp for Kremlin and government ...
