Election results pointed towards a hung Parliament. The popular party secured 136 seats, while the left-wing socialist party led by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez won 122. But despite this, celebrations were witnessed among the supporters of the two parties. But while both parties are celebrating - the reality is that both parties are far away from the threshold needed to form the government.

Cambodia’s national election committee (NEC) on Saturday (July 22) used an elephant to deliver ballot boxes to a remote village inaccessible by road a day ahead of the national election. In footage released by the NEC, an elephant was seen carrying ballot boxes and election materials across rivers and jungles to reach a village that has 173 voters. Aside from the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) of prime minister hun sen, there are 17 parties running, but most are obscure and none have the clout or resources to mount a challenge to the CPP, which won all 125 seat assembly seats in the 2018 election. A repeat of that is expected.

Erdogan emerges victorious in historic Turkey run-off

Recep Tayyip Erdogan has won the Turkey presidential runoff elections by a margin of over 2 million votes. There are a few key factors which may have helped Erdogan win the runoffs. One of them is Erdogan's inclusive policies. He is celebrated by poorer and more rural areas of Turkey because of the modernisation of once-dilapidated cities. The other factor that could have worked in his favour is the vote of those living aboard. It's a sizeable chunk with 3.4 million out of Turkey's 64.1 million registered voters. And Erdogan enjoys a considerable popularity among overseas voters.
