Malaysia five years after the democratic upheaval

The discernible dawn of a new Malaysia

On 9 May, it was exactly five years since Malaysia saw its first democratic change of government since independence in 1957, following its 14th national election in 2018. What followed were five turbulent years. For since the beginning of 2018, Malaysia has had five ruling coalitions and five prime ministers. The 15th national election on 19 November 2022 was won by long-time opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim. His coalition government, now six months old, has not found it easy to satisfy Malaysians' desire for both stability and genuine democratic change.

Gubernatorial elections in Mexico

Clear results and no surprises

The last gubernatorial elections before the 2024 presidential election in the states of Coahuila and Estado de México confirmed the forecasts and polls before the election on 4 June. In Estado de México, the most populous state, MORENA candidate Delfina Gómez won by a wide margin, ending over 90 years of PRI rule. In Coahuila, however, the PRI candidate of the opposition coalition "Va por México", Manolo Jiménez, won as expected. With this event, the political focus and the corresponding speculation and debates are now also entirely on the presidential election due in June 2024 and thus on the succession to the incumbent president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO).
