2024, or let's call it a year of Elections across the world!

In New Delh, the Election Commission of India announced the schedule for the biggest election exercise in human history so far.

Up for a vote are all 543 constituencies for the reconstitution of the 18th Lok Sabha, India's lower house of Parliament, with the winning party selecting the country's prime minister and forming a government.

A total of 970 million people are eligible to vote in the election. This is more than the populations of the US, European Union and Russia combined.

More than a million polling stations will act as the lifeblood of the world's biggest democratic exercise in an operation staffed by 15 million poll workers, the election commission said.

In 2019, the National Democratic Alliance led by BJP got 353 members elected.

For the democratic control of the Portuguese capital, the country's general election handed the centre-right Democratic Alliance (AD) a slim victory, setting the stage for a potentially unstable governing scenario without an outright majority.

The far-right party Chega issued warnings of instability if it is not included in the government coalition.

The Democratic Alliance (AD) secured 80 seats in the 230-seat legislature, edging out the Socialists who won 77 seats.

The Russian corridors of power are poised to stay with President Vladimir Putin in what is expected to be a landslide victory for the former KGB spy in the country's presidential elections that concluded on March 17.

Putin, who rose to the presidency in 1999, is on track to secure another six-year term, a distinction that would make him Russia's longest-serving leader in over two centuries, surpassing Josef Stalin.

French President Emmanuel Macron announced that Russia will be urged to adhere to a ceasefire in Ukraine during the Paris Olympics later this summer.

In United States also, the 60th quadrennail presidential elections will be held from November 5, 2024. Voters will elect a new president and vice president.

US President Joe Biden of Democratic Party is running for re-election, along with Republican Party candidate Donald Trump. If Trump wins, he would become the second presdient to serve a nonconsecutive term.
