Betting on Trump

Donald Trump has surged back to favoritism for next year's Republican nomination. What's going on here?

A consensus candidate is chosen to take on Turkey's authoritarian president in the election scheduled for May.

Nigeria chooses a new president on Saturday, with the two-party duopoly being challenged.

Results from the weekend's elections in Cyprus and Monaco, plus yet another early election coming up in Bulgaria.

Cyprus and Monaco vote on Sunday in very different elections, but with a common element of constitutional structure.
