Governments face voter backlash in 2024 except for Modi in India

hindustantimes.com — November 18, 2024 at 06:01 AM UTC

In 2024, many governments worldwide faced backlash from voters, with incumbents losing in 40 of 54 elections in Western democracies since the COVID pandemic began. This year has been marked by significant voter discontent across various political ideologies. In Asia, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party, the Bharatiya Janata Party, lost its parliamentary majority in June but remains in power with allies. South Korea's opposition parties also gained ground, reflecting a broader trend of anti-incumbent sentiment in the region. Mexico stood out as an exception, where President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's successor, Claudia Sheinbaum, won the presidential election easily. Voter satisfaction with the economy in Mexico contrasts with the global trend of dissatisfaction.
