History, the constitution and “Super Saturday”

The saga of section 44 is an interesting lesson on the intersection of law, history and politics. Where do we go now?

Zimbabwe: a retrospective preview

Zimbabwe has held its first post-Mugabe election, but results are yet to be released.

Cambodia's autocrat predictably wins an "election", but the international community shows little interest.

I'm back from Scandinavia, with a fair bit of election news to catch up on. First up is Pakistan.

Another democracy in trouble, as the Pakistani government needs to counter the influence of its own military to win a second term.

Mexico gets a quick and decisive result in its presidential election.

It looks like being third time lucky for Mexico's veteran leftist in Sunday's presidential election.

Turkey's autocratic president wins re-election and a legislative majority, but the country remains deeply divided.

Sunday's election in Turkey is probably the last chance to arrest its slide into authoritarianism. Polls suggest it could be very close.

A left-right contest in Colombia puts in question the country's economic future and the continuation of the peace deal with its left-wing rebels.
