Iran's new president Masoud Pezeshkian has given his first speech after winning Sunday's runoff election. “In this election, I didn’t give you false promises. I did not lie,” Pezeshkian said. “It’s been many years after the revolution that we come to the podium, we make promises and we fail to fulfill them. This is the biggest problem we have.” Pezeshkian beat hard-liner Saeed Jalili by promising to reach out to the West and ease enforcement on the country’s mandatory headscarf law after years of sanctions and protests squeezing the Islamic Republic. He's promised no radical changes to Iran’s ...

The results are in, and it's a landslide. After 14 years in power, Britain's Conservative Party has been expelled from office in the most dramatic of fashions—with its worst electoral result in decades. Rishi Sunak, the man who pledged to restore stability after a ruinous period of high inflation and political chaos, has already tendered his resignation to the King. His successor—the former lawyer turned center-left politician Keir Starmer—will now lead Britain's first Labour government for almost 20 years, having won as many seats in parliament as former Prime Minister Tony Blair back in 1997...

By Marie HEUCLIN Londres (AFP) - Rare devant les photographes, Victoria Starmer, l'épouse du nouveau Premier ministre britannique Keir Starmer, est surtout attachée à préserver la vie privée de sa famille et entend bien, malgré son entrée au 10 Downing Street, poursuivre son travail au sein du service public de santé. Beaucoup de Britanniques ont sans doute découvert vendredi le visage de cette grande brune de 50 ans qui partage la vie du chef du gouvernement travailliste depuis plus de 20 ans et l'a accompagné, main dans la main, au palais de Buckingham puis au 10, Downing Street, désormais s...

A voting method is the procedure at the heart of an election that specifies what information is to be gathered from voters, and how that collected information is to be utilized to determine the winning candidate. The U.S. Constitution is mute as to what voting method should be employed. The simplest, known as "plurality," has historically been the default, and still dominates as the voting method for U.S. public elections. Plurality allows each voter only to vote for a single candidate. The candidate receiving the largest number of votes is the winner. At about the time of the American Revolut...

Iranian voters face a choice between the hard-line former nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili and Masoud Pezeshkian, a heart surgeon and longtime MP who has allied himself with moderates and reformists within Iran's Shiite theocracy. After years of economic struggle, mass protests and tensions, public apathy has become pervasive in the Islamic Republic. No candidate received more than 50% of the vote in the initial round of voting on 28 June, forcing the runoff. The 39.9% turnout was also the lowest ever in an Iranian election. There have been calls for a boycott, including from imprisoned Nobel P...

Après un premier tour de scrutin, le 28 juin, qui a enregistré le taux de participation le plus faible de l'histoire du pays (39,92 %), les électeurs iraniens votent de nouveau pour départager les deux candidats arrivés en tête la semaine dernière. L'ancien négociateur nucléaire Saïd Jalili est un ultraconservateur partisan de la ligne dure, tandis que Massoud Pezeshkian, chirurgien cardiaque et député de longue date, s'est allié aux modérés et aux réformistes de la théocratie chiite iranienne. Après des années de lutte économique, de manifestations de masse et de tensions, l'apathie du public...

Le Front républicain, qui s'est organisé tant bien que mal en début de semaine entre les partis centristes et de gauche, pour contrer la victoire de l'extrême droite, pourrait avoir été une tactique payante. Selon le sondage Harris Interactive pour le magazine Challenges, le premier depuis la formation d'une alliance anti-Rassemblement national (RN), indique que le parti d'extrême droite de Jordan Bardella pourrait ne pas remporter les 289 sièges nécessaires pour contrôler les 577 sièges de l'Assemblée nationale. Selon les prévisions, le RN et ses alliés devraient obtenir entre 190 et 220 sièg...

Les bureaux de vote ont ouvert ce jeudi au Royaume-Uni pour des élections générales qui pourraient ramener le Parti travailliste au pouvoir après 14 années passées dans l'opposition. 50 millions d'électeurs d'Angleterre, d'Écosse, du Pays de Galles et d'Irlande du Nord, sont appelés aux urnes pour élire leurs représentants. À Henley-on-Thames, une ville à l'ouest de Londres, historiquement conservatrice on devraient cette année basculer vers le parti travailliste. "La jeune génération est beaucoup plus intéressée par le changement. Je pense donc que quoi qu'il arrive à Henley, dans le pays, il...

French centrist and left-wing parties are trying to find a way to block a far-right majority in parliament — and a new poll shows that this is possible. A Harris Interactive survey for Challenges magazine, the first since an anti-National Rally (RN) alliance was formed, indicates that Marine Le Pen's far-right party might not win the 289 seats needed to control the 577-seat National Assembly. According to this poll, efforts by President Emmanuel Macron's centrists and the leftist bloc New Popular Front (NFP) to block the far-right as a so-called Republican Front (or Front Républicain) might be...

Parliamentary candidates’ posters hung in Mongolia's capital Ulaanbaatar. Screenshot from the video “Mongolia heads to polls amid weak opposition, corruption scandals and public frustration” from the Al Jazeera English YouTube channel. Fair use. On June 28, Mongolia held parliamentary elections, which the Mongolian People’s Party (MPP) won by securing 68 out of 126 seats in the Great State Khural, Mongolia’s unicameral parliament. This victory will extend its eight-year long rule by another four. The turnout was 69.4 percent, and the rest of the seats were divided among four parties. The Democ...
