While North Macedonia marked a historic milestone on Wednesday by electing its first female president, the ruling centre-left suffered an unprecedented loss in both presidential and parliamentary polls. Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova, a 70-year-old law professor supported by the nationalist conservatives, won with nearly 65% of the vote in the presidential runoff. Reflecting on her win, Siljanovska-Davkova emphasised the importance of this milestone for women and pledged to advocate for reform alongside them. Meanwhile, Stevo Pendarovski conceded defeat after securing just over 29% of the vote. S...

Presidential elections are being held on Wednesday in North Macedonia, a small Balkan country that has orbited the European Union for nearly two decades with little to show for its efforts to join the 27-nation bloc. A second round of voting is almost certain to follow on May 8 - coinciding with parliamentary elections - as no candidate is expected to exceed the 50% threshold required for outright victory. Seven candidates are running for the largely ceremonial position, with the brief campaigning period focusing on EU accession, the rule of law, fighting corruption and reducing poverty. The l...

Slovaks have voted for a pro-Western career diplomat over a close ally of the country's populist leader Robert Fico in the first round of a presidential election. Former Foreign Minister Ivan Korčok bagged 42.13% of the votes late Sunday, with nearly all polling stations counted. Peter Pellegrini was in second with 37.28%. However, because no candidate won an outright majority, the two will face off in a second round on 6 April. The winner will replace Zuzana Čaputová, Slovakia's first-ever female president and a staunch backer of neighbouring Ukraine. Korčok, who firmly supports his country's...

Donald Trump’s lawyers told a New York appellate court on Monday that he can't post a bond covering the full amount of a $454 million civil fraud judgment. The announcement suggests the former president's legal losses have put him in a serious cash crunch. Trump's lawyers wrote in a court filing that “obtaining an appeal bond in the full amount” of the judgment “is not possible under the circumstances presented." Trump claimed last year that he has “fairly substantially over $400 million in cash,” but back-to-back courtroom defeats have pushed his legal debt north of a half-billion dollars. Tr...

Russians crowded outside polling stations at midday on Sunday on the last day of a presidential election, apparently heeding an opposition call to protest against President Vladimir Putin in a vote that offered them no real alternatives after he ruthlessly cracked down on dissent. Shortly after the last polls closed in Russia, early returns pointed to the conclusion everyone expected: that Putin would extend his nearly quarter-century grip on power for six more years. According to Russia’s Central Election Commission, Putin had 87.9% of the vote with half of precincts counted, as of earlier th...

It is always difficult for Russian voters to express their opinion publicly, for fear of punishment for speaking their mind. But a Czech TV station asked Russians to give their opinion on the presidential election, expected to end this Sunday, with a triumphant re-election for President Vladimir Putin. Young people interviewed are often quite complimentary about the head of the Kremlin. Here are two examples: Pavel Kipriyanov, freelance actor: "If we talk in general about the path chosen by my country and my government, well, I understand it perfectly, I accept it, except for certain things th...

Voters across Russia cast ballots on Saturday on the second day of an election set to formalise six more years of power for President Vladimir Putin, who faces no serious challengers after crushing political dissent over his nearly 25 years of rule. The election comes against the backdrop of a ruthless crackdown that has stifled independent media and prominent rights groups. Putin’s fiercest foe, Alexei Navalny, died in an Arctic prison in February, and other critics are either in jail or in exile. The 71-year-old Putin faces three token rivals from Kremlin-friendly parties, who have refrained...

A liberal candidate on Wednesday lost another appeal against the decision of election officials to bar him from running in Russia's upcoming elections. Boris Nadezhdin had made halting the war in Ukraine his main campaign slogan, ahead of next month's presidential election which Vladimir Putin is widely expected to win. Authorities' refusal to register him for the race underlines the Kremlin's refusal to allow public opposition to its actions. After a day of deliberations, Russia’s Supreme Court ruled to reject Nadezhdin’s appeal against the Central Election Commission's decision to bar him fr...
