Who works to change the world order of the world. Let us tell you which major countries in the world held elections and what were the results?
India
India, known as the world’s largest democracy, held Lok Sabha elections from April to June. The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by Prime Minister Modi won the election. The NDA secured 303 of the 272 seats required for a majority. The BJP alone won 240 seats. So far, Narendra Modi has served as the Prime Minister of India for the third consecutive time. Modi became the second national leader to serve as prime minister for a third consecutive term after the country’s first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru. This victory by Prime Minister Modi further strengthens India’s leadership on the world stage.
USA
The United States, the world’s oldest democracy, held its presidential election on November 5. Republican candidate Donald Trump was elected President of the United States for the second time. He scored a historic victory in the 2024 presidential election, defeating his opponent, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, by wide margins in all seven battleground states. Now he will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on January 20.
Russia
In April 2024, Vladimir Putin was elected president of Russia for the fifth time amid the war with Ukraine. He has been in power since 2024. Putin has become the president of Russia for the next 6 years. This means he will remain in power in Russia until 2030. This time he received more than 87% of the vote.
british elections
Fourteen years later, Labor won 650 seats in the UK general election on July 4, 2024. The right-wing Conservatives, led by then-prime minister Rishi Sunak, suffered a crushing defeat. Labor made history by winning about 410 seats, and Keir Starmer became the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
South Africa
The National Assembly elections will be held here on May 29, 2024. The ruling African National Congress remains the largest party, but its support has plummeted. As a result, the party lost its parliamentary majority.
Japan
Japan will hold a general election on October 27, 2024. In this election, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s Liberal Democratic Party did not win a majority. The ruling coalition won 215 seats, 18 fewer than the majority. The main opposition party, the Cadets, won 148 seats. The party lost 50 seats compared to the last election.

France also holds general elections in July 2024. No single party was able to secure a clear majority in the 577-seat elections held here. The left-wing New Popular Front alliance achieved great success in this election, winning 188 seats. President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist coalition could only secure 161 seats. The right-wing National Rally ranked third with 141 seats. No party was able to obtain a majority of more than 289 votes.
Bangladesh elections
Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina won a huge victory in the elections held in January 2024. He won 222 seats in the 300-seat parliament. The leader of the Independent Party won 66 seats. The main opposition party, the BNP, led by Khalid Zia, boycotted the election.

How the world order changed
Modi returned to power in India for the third consecutive time, President Putin returned to power in Russia for the fifth consecutive time, and former US President Trump achieved a historic victory in the presidential election, changing the world order. In particular, Russian President Vladimir Putin and newly elected US President Donald Trump are both close friends of Prime Minister Modi. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has been more flexible toward Putin than Biden. As a result, the world order also began to change. The Russia-Ukraine war, Israel-Hamas, Israel-Hezbollah, and Israel-Iran wars that are raging around the world seem to be coming to an end. At the same time, the easing of India-China relations after four years and the restoration of peace on the border is also a major global event. All of these are signs of changes in the world order.
