Nigerian elections are fast approaching, and it is only a matter of time until a candidate who adopts an out-of-the-box approach wins the show.

While all the candidates are luring voters on the ground, the digital election campaigns of the Nigerian presidential aspirants are minimal.

The lack of digital election campaigning by all the candidates provides an opportunity for those candidates who are ready to do online campaigning to win the Aso Villa.

Atiku Abubakar
Bola Tinubu
Peter Obi
Rabiu Kwankwaso

Kenya elections are over as William Ruto will be the next president of Kenya from 2022 after winning the polls by a meager margin of 233,000 votes.

Poor digital election campaign tactics coupled with a failed Get Out to Vote (GOTV) drives for Raila Odinga helped Ruto eke out the victory.

At a time when Odinga was a hot favorite to bring favorable results, Ruto’s win is a lesson for Odinga’s campaign not to take voter engagement issues lightly.

The so-called “great electors” who act as the regional delegates have started voting for the next Italian president alongside the Italian parliament to elect the next president of the country.

Although the election cycle in Italy always triggers intense politicking, this time, the presence of the incumbent Prime Minister Mario Draghi for the presidency has made things even more interesting.

With potential chaos awaiting, the electors are voting without doing any cost-benefit analysis of the outcome.

If elected, Draghi would be the first Prime Minister to be elected for the presidency, which is

The European Union has seen a paradigm shift since the withdrawal of the United Kingdom. This year marks another significant challenge for the Union, as Hungary goes into elections that pose a threat to the rule of law in the region.

Autocratic rules in Hungary have created tensions for the image of the EU, and its credentials have been at stake, as many values which the EU never supports are being practiced in Hungary.

Now is the time for Hungary to get rid of the rulers who have transformed democracy into a

Assembly elections in India have ignited a new debate on the use of technology in the electoral process amid the increasing COVID cases.

A country that itself is a house of rising information infrastructure had been facing manual intervention in elections with little to no use of technology.

However, the chief election commissioner of India, Sushil Chandra, is taking measures to increase the role of mobile applications in the elections that are about to be held this year in different states.

It will encourage more citizens to participate in the elections coupled with

South Korea’s presidential elections are coming in March 2022, paving the way for politicians to campaign on some unique fronts.

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT), cryptocurrency, and hair loss have become three hot topics for politicians to win voters, and hence the elections.

Hair Loss Treatment: South Korean Presidential Nominee Trying to Lure Bald Voters

While Bolsonaro is furthering the right-wing narrative, Lula is on the left side; thus, both of them are representing poles,

The latest elections in Chile rose a long-term student activist Gabriel Boric to power, who voted to rein in the powerful mineral interests of the country.

Now that he is elected, the new constitution will soon become a reality in a country rich in natural resources.

Countries rarely get a chance to write their own constitution, as most of them are living under the constitutions written by their founding fathers or the powerful men who followed.

Even for those countries that get a chance, climate change hardly gets an important place in the

Many elections in Latin America have resulted in the collapse of moderate, centrist ideology as people seem more inclined to either extreme in these countries.

This stands true for Chile, Peru, and Brazil, where centrist politicians failed to make a mark in the latest elections.

However, the trends seem to be broken in the upcoming Colombia elections, as the victory for centrists seems imminent in the May 2022 elections.

The approach of Colombia’s incumbent President Iván Duque in tackling the popular protests makes him highly unpopular among the masses as he
