The country's Election Commission showed that the NC- led five-party alliance secured 136 seats, just two seats short of claiming a majority, Reuters reported.&nbsp;

Nepal's major parties,&nbsp;NC, UML, and the Maoist Centre took part in the elections. While the NC was able to secure 89 seats, UML won 78 seats.

Nepal election 2022: Nepali Congress secures maximum seats, PM Deuba likely to remain in power 

BJP Chief Ministerial candidate&nbsp;Bhupendra Patel, the incumbent Gujarat CM, won from Ghatlodia after edging out Congress candidate Dr. Amee Yajnik by more than 50,000 votes. Gujarat CM Bhupendra Patel said that the&nbsp;results of the Gujarat Elections are quite clear and people have made up their minds to further continue with the journey of development in Gujarat. The Chief Minister said that he humbly accepted the mandate of the people and every worker of the BJP is committed to public service.&nbsp;

State BJP Chief CR Patil said Gujarat CM will take oath at 2pm on 12 December. He added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah will take part in the oath ceremony. The Election Commission's most recent reports show that Patel received 80.86% of the vote, compared to Amiben Yagnik of the Congress, who received 9.81%. Vijay Patel, an AAP candidate, was placed third with 6.73 per cent of the vote.

Moreover, after registering a major win, BJP's Jamnagar North candidate, Rivaba Jadeja thanked those who accepted her as a candidate, reached out and connected to people. "It's not just my victory but of all of us," she said. Cricketer Ravindra Jadeja's wife, BJP's Rivaba Jadeja,&nbsp;was fielded from here replacing sitting MLA Dharmendrasinh Jadeja (Hakubha).&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) entered the election arena this time, making Gujarat's election a three-cornered race rather than the state's usual struggle between the BJP and Congress. 624 independents and a total of 70 political parties participated in the election. 101 candidates from the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and 26 from the Bharatiya Tribal Party (BTP) ran against the main competitors BJP, Congress, and AAP.&nbsp;

Here are the other star candidates to watch out for 
&nbsp;

1. AAP's Isudan Gadhvi, Chief Ministerial face: Gadhvi was picked after a popular choice of AAP.&nbsp;AAP's Alpesh Kathirya won&nbsp;party's first seat while CM face Isudan Gadhvi lost.&nbsp; Gadhvi had said earlier this week that it is difficult to predict results through exit polls but&nbsp;BJP won't form the government. He said the AAP win will over 51 seats in phase 1 and over 52 in phase 2 and exit polls will be proved wrong. Gadhvi opined that lotus is no longer as powerful as it was once and is declining in the state. While casting his vote, he had said: "I expect AAP to win 51+ of 89 seats in first phase and 52+ in second."

2. AAP Gujarat president Gopal Italia: Italia is contesting from the Katargam in the Surat district. The poll performance of both leaders is being keenly watched with the AAP having held an extensive campaign in the state. Even as Gadhvi had predicted a win for his party in more than 100 of 182 seats in the state, AAP managed to win just five seats.

3. Hardik Patel: BJP leader and Patidar quota stir leader Hardik Patel won against Congress' Lakha Bharwad - who is the sitting MLA from the constituency. He earlier said that no riots/terrorist attacks took place in the past 20 yrs. He said that people know BJP met their expectations. "They press 'Lotus' as their future will be safe under BJP. It did good governance and strengthened this trust," he added.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 
Exit polls:&nbsp;Exit polls had predicted a huge mandate for the BJP in the state. This will be seventh term for the party in Gujarat. Early trends on Thursday were in line with predictions for the AAP too.

A total of 1,625 voters from Samot village in the Dediapada constituency of the Narmada district abstained from voting because the hamlet's farmland has to be regularised.

Former prime minister of Malaysia Muhyiddin Yassin on Sunday (November 20) was able to secure backing from two political blocs. Recently concluded general election has thrown up a hung parliament. Muhyiddin may be getting support but he has not yet secured required majority.

Muhyiddin, of the Perikatan Nasional coalition, said he had won support from two regional blocs based in the island of Borneo. That would boost his alliance's seat tally from 73 to 101 - still short of the required 112 majority.

"I am confident I will obtain enough support from lawmakers that will enable me to be appointed by the king as Prime Minister," he said, without saying which other parties might back him.

Longtime opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, whose Pakatan Harapan coalition won the most number of seats in the election with 82, is also racing to win support from other groups.

The inconclusive election saw Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob's Barisan Nasional alliance suffer its worst electoral defeat ever, winning just 30 of the 178 seats it ran for.

It prolongs political uncertainty in the Southeast Asian nation, which has seen three prime ministers in as many years, at a time of slowing economic growth and rising inflation.

Former Malaysia PM Muhyiddin gets backing after indecisive election

Kazakhstan President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has been re-elected as leader of the country, as per preliminary results. Voters in Central Asia's largest country handed him a landslide victory. The election has been criticised by independent monitors for, as they say,&nbsp;lacking competitiveness. But Russian President Vladimir Putin, the regional power broker, congratulated Tokayev for his "convincing" win.

Kazakhstan was part of Soviet Russia.

69-year-old Tokayev came to power in 2019. The oil-rich country's electoral commission said, that Tokayev got 81.21 per cent of votes. Final results were due to be announced within a week, after a tally of votes from abroad.

Outcome of the elections was not a surprise as opponents of Tokayev were virtually unknown. None of them scored double digits and 5.8 per cent of voters cast their ballots against all candidates.

Turnout was just over 69 percent among 12 million eligible voters, election officials said.

"The people have clearly expressed their confidence in me and we have to justify it," Tokayev said as results emerged.

The mission from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) however said the election lacked "competitiveness" and showed the need for legislative reforms.

Rich in natural resources and located at the crossroads of important trade routes, Kazakhstan sank into chaos during protests over high living costs in January, which left 238 dead.

Malaysia faces political turmoil as poll delivers hung parliament

On Sunday, Nepali citizens went to the polls to elect a new parliament, with the election being heavily influenced by popular discontent with the country's ageing political class and concern about its fragile economy. There is a sense that the government is out of touch with Nepal's urgent concerns because of the prime ministers' frequent changes, the majority of whom have been in office for less than a year. With established parties whose leaders have walked the halls of power for decades, some younger candidates are making their maiden appearances in this year's race.

However, many voters have lost trust in the existing quo, and a thirst for change is palpable.&nbsp;Analysts predict that Nepal's firmly established political veterans will once again control the next parliament.

The second round of elections since the terrible Maoist insurgency in Nepal came to an end in 2015, when a new constitution was adopted, will take place on Sunday.

The country's monarchy was abolished in 2006 after the civil war, which had cost more than 17,000 lives and brought the erstwhile rebels into the government, came to an end.

Since that time, different alliances between the former guerrillas and the established Congress and another communist party have seen them take turns ruling.

Is America's political polarisation complete? The Midterm projections show how divided American voters have become. Neither Republicans nor Democrats can claim to have the support of majority.

Gravitas: Is America's political polarisation complete?

On Sunday (November 13), Slovenians chose Natasa Pirc Musar, who was once former US first lady Melania Trump's lawyer, to serve as the nation's first female president.

In a run-off election for president in the nation of two million people, Pirc Musar, supported by the centre-left government, defeated conservative political veteran Anze Logan.

The outcomes represent a new defeat for the nation's conservatives.&nbsp;

The new 54-year-old president-elect said, "Slovenia has elected a president who believes in the European Union, in the democratic values on which the EU was founded."

The far&nbsp;right's attempts&nbsp;to invalidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva being elected president&nbsp;of Brazil were thwarted when a much-anticipated investigation from Brazil's defence ministry failed to find evidence of recent ballots being cast unlawfully.

Following weeks of speculations&nbsp;that it would embolden accusations by extremist president Jair Bolsonaro that the election was rigged, the military late on Wednesday delivered the 63-page report to Brazil's electoral authorities.

Bolsonaro, an ex-army captain, had hinted for months that he wouldn't accept defeat and regularly questioned the reliability of Brazil's electronic voting machines, while offering no proof to support his claims.&nbsp;

His followers expected the military to substantiate these allegations, but the only hint of uncertainty came in the shape of a feeble recommendation that a committee be set up to guarantee that the source code used in the voting machines cannot be altered, The Guardian said in a report.
