The contenders in the northwestern state of Barinas include a local opposition leader, an opposition dissident and a former foreign minister. For the first time in more than two decades, no member of Chávez’s family is on the ballot. The disqualification of Freddy Superlano by the country’s highest court and the scheduling of the special contest raised further doubts about the fairness of Venezuela’s electoral system following the first vote in years in which most major political parties took part. Also Read | Libyan parliament declares holding presidential vote is impossible,Superlano was disqualified Nov. 29 while he was ahead by less than a percentage point over incumbent Argenis Chávez, one of Hugo Chávez’s brothers. The high court, which is one of many government bodies seen as loyal to the government of President Nicolas Maduro, ignored a presidential pardon that had made Superlano and other members of the opposition eligible to run. Barinas has long been a bastion of Chavismo, with his brother Argenis Chávez, brother Adán Chávez and father Hugo de los Reyes Chávez all serving stints as governor since 1998. But the pull of the late president, who founded Venezuela's ruling socialist movement, proved weak on Nov. 21. Residents said afterward that many people in Barinas are angry over long facing serious gasoline shortages, a lack basic services like gas, water and electricity, deficient health care services and hunger from food scarcity. Also Read | Chicago mayor, teachers still at odds over COVID protocols,Argenis Chávez resigned as governor following Superlano’s disqualification and did not enter the race in the special election. The ruling party then chose former foreign minister Jorge Arreaza as its candidate. In addition to Superlano’s disqualification, his wife, who was chosen as his successor, was disqualified. So was her substitute. Sunday’s ballot also includes Sergio Garrido, candidate for the U.S.-backed opposition, and Claudio Fermin, an opposition dissident. Vote counts for the ruling party have been declining since 2017 across the country. About 6.5 million people voted for pro-government candidates during that year’s regional elections. On Nov. 21, that number dropped to about 3.7 million. Also Read | New York City's new law to allow non-citizens access to ballot box,The Nov. 21 election was monitored by over 130 observers from the European Union, the U.N. and the U.S.-based Carter Center. A preliminary report from European Union observers concluded Venezuela’s regional contests were held under better conditions than other ballots in recent years but were still marred by “structural deficiencies”, including the disqualification of opposition contenders. The EU team has not commented on the situation in Barinas, but a report from the Carter Center criticized the court’s intervention. “There was also a general atmosphere of political repression, and more than 250 people are being held as political prisoners,” the center said. “The tribunal’s recent decision to suspend the tabulation of votes for the governorship of Barinas is another example of its interference in the electoral process.”","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"8.6231","longitude":"-70.2371","name":"Barinas, Venezuela","city":"Barinas"},"keywords":"Venezuela, Elections, government, Chavez, Hugo Chavez, Chavismo","originalPublishedOn":"2022-01-09T22:30:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"HDCOZW0Yi3Uy","slug":"who-appoints-the-members-of-election-commission","slugV2":"india/who-appoints-the-members-of-election-commission-329886/","title":"Who appoints the members of election commission","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_AdDPz-Z68WXw.jpg","coverCaption":"Who appoints the members of election commission.

The semi-autonomous territory was rocked by pro-democracy protests in 2014 and 2019, but they were crushed by security forces, followed by the imposition of a sweeping national security law that silenced most of the city’s opposition activists and led others to flee abroad.

China altered Hong Kong’s election law,The rubber-stamp Chinese parliament in March passed a resolution to alter Hong Kong’s election law that many saw as effectively ending the “one country, two systems” framework under which Hong Kong was to retain its separate legal, political and financial institutions for 50 years following the handover from Britain in 1997. The assembly voted to give a pro-Beijing committee power to appoint more of Hong Kong’s lawmakers, reducing the proportion of those directly elected, and ensuring that only those truly loyal to Beijing are allowed to run for office.

French President Emmanuel Macron hailed the result as a resounding confirmation of France's role in the Indo-Pacific, and announced negotiations on the territory's future status. Separatist activists expressed disappointment or resignation. They had urged a delay in the vote because of the pandemic, and were angry over what they said were French government efforts to sway the campaign. So they called on their supporters to stay away from voting stations. And they did. Official results showed 96% of those who took part chose to stay in France. Overall turnout was just 42% — less than half the numbers who showed up in a previous independence referendum last year, where support for breaking away was 46.7%. “Tonight we are French, and we will stay that way. It’s no longer negotiable,” said Sonia Backes, president of the Southern Province region and a fervent loyalist.

New Caledonia, colonized by Napoleon’s nephew in the 19th century, is a vast archipelago of about 270,000 people east of Australia that is 10 time zones ahead of Paris — and hosts a French military base. “Tonight France is more beautiful because New Caledonia decided to stay,” Macron said in a national televised address. He did not address the boycott. Noting that the electorate “remains deeply divided,” Macron pledged “respect for all Caledonians, including those who voted to break away. Sunday’s vote was the third and last in a decades-long decolonization process that stemmed from violence in 1988, which led to the French government handing New Caledonia broad autonomy under the Noumea Agreement. The process was aimed at settling tensions between native Kanaks seeking independence and those who want the territory to remain part of France. The process does not end with the last referendum. The state, separatists and non-separatists now have 18 months to negotiate a new status for the territory and its institutions within France. “We are reaching a new stage,” Macron said, calling for negotiations on new structures to handle health crises, boost the economy, improve women’s rights and protect the environment from climate change — a major concern in this island territory. A tropical storm warning also dampened enthusiasm for the vote. Lines snaked out of some polling stations, as winds whipped palm trees lining the streets of the regional capital Noumea. But turnout at others was barely a trickle. The question put to people in the archipelago’s 307 voting stations was: “Do you want New Caledonia to gain full sovereignty and become independent?” Masks and social distancing measures were required. The campaign and voting day were unusually calm because of the boycott call. In the first such referendum in 2018, 43.6% of voters supported independence, and 46.7% favored it in a second vote held in 2020. While support for a “yes” vote seemed to be growing, the region’s first coronavirus outbreak in September threw the political debate into disarray. Until then, New Caledonia had been one of the few virus-free places left on the planet. By November, the archipelago had reported 271 COVID-19 deaths, and the regional Senate decreed a year of traditional Kanak mourning. Independence activists felt they couldn’t campaign out of respect for their dead, and demanded that the referendum be postponed. But pro-France groups insisted the vote should take place as scheduled to end uncertainty over New Caledonia’s future and to boost its economic prospects. Pro-independence activists announced they would refuse to take part, accusing the government in Paris of imposing the referendum date and violating neutrality by publishing a document seen as casting the consequences of independence in a negative light.

We win!” Castro, Honduras' former first lady who is making her third presidential run, told cheering Liberty and Re-foundation party supporters. ”Today the people have made justice. We have reversed authoritarianism.”,Preliminary results released late Sunday by the Electoral Council showed Castro with 53% of the votes and Asfura with 34%, but with just 16% of voting stations counted. The council said turnout was more than 68%. Also read: UNWTO: Global tourism to incur losses of $2 trillion for second successive year,Honduras' long-ruling National Party announced on its Twitter account that its candidate, Tegucigalpa Mayor Nasry Asfura, had won. The competing claims of victory came just hours after the National Electoral Council reminded parties that such announcements were prohibited and violators would be fined. The claims raised fears of street protests and violence and some businesses on Tegucigalpa's main boulevard boarded over their windows as a precaution. In 2017, after a protracted election filled with irregularities, protesters filled the streets and the government imposed a curfew. Three weeks later outgoing President Orlando Hernández was declared the winner despite the Organization of American States observation mission calling for an election re-do. At least 23 people were killed.

Her husband, the former president, ousted by a military coup in 2009, did not appear on stage with her. Castro rode a wave of discontentment with the National Party's 12-year reign. Hernández became a national embarrassment with U.S. federal prosecutors in New York accusing him of running a narco state and fueling his own political rise with drug money. Hernández has denied it all and has not been formally charged, but that could change once he leaves office.

Kevin David Hernández, a 37-year-old cab driver, was one of those shouting at the gate. He said they had locked it right after he voted and exited. “There has been a line here all day,” he said.

So that we can build a new constitution that is very different to the one left to us by the dictatorship\".,Polls say about 60% of Chileans blame the Pinochet-era constitution for creating a system that benefits only the elites.,\"It is like we are really starting to get rid of 'Pinocho', his shadow, his legacy, everything,\" added Carmela Urquiza, a 62-year-old civil servant, using a nickname given to the dictator by his detractors.,Some 14 million people were eligible to vote on Saturday and Sunday for 155 members of the \"constitutional convention\".,A total of 1,373 candidates were in the running, including actors, writers, teachers, social workers, lawyers and traditional politicians.,On the first day of voting, only a fifth of the 14.9 million eligible voters had turned out.,Analysts have said the election would be a battle between candidates from parties on the left and the right, with independents not expected to draw any meaningful support.,Parties on the left broadly seek greater state control of mineral and other natural resources -- mostly privatized since the dictatorship -- and more public spending on education, health, pensions and social welfare.,Those on the right largely defend the capitalist, free-market system they thank for Chile's decades of economic growth.,In a world-first, half the candidates are -- by design -- women.,The 155-member drafting group, which will have nine months to come up with a new founding law for Chile, will also be composed of 50% women, and 17 seats are reserved for representatives of indigenous communities.,It will have nine months to draft a new constitution, which will be approved or rejected next year in a mandatory national vote.,\u003cb\u003eALSO READ | \u003ca href=\"https://opoyi.com/chile-to-close-borders-for-april-amid-rising-covid-cases\"\u003eChile to close borders for April amid rising COVID cases\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/b\u003e,Chile has the highest per capita income and the third most multimillionaires in Latin America.

They \"told people that whoever dips his finger in indelible ink can say goodbye to his finger\".,The Constitutional Court had said in early November that the election could not be held in nearly one-fifth of the West African nation, where large swathes of territory remain outside the state's control and jihadists strike almost daily.,That would not prevent the validation of the results, however, as the National Assembly adopted an amendment to the electoral code in August to make the elections valid even if they could not be held throughout the country.,Jihadist-related violence has forced one million people -- five percent of the 20 million population -- from their homes in the last two years and at least 1,200 have been killed since 2015.In some places in the north, \"there is no election, and it is far from being the priority of the people who seek first to avoid being killed by one side or the other of the conflict,\" an expert on security issues in the Dori region told AFP.,In the capital Ouagadougou and in the south, however, election officials said the vote went smoothly.,\u003cb\u003eAlso Read:\u0026nbsp;\u003c/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://opoyi.com/in-jihadist-hit-burkina-areas-no-elections-and-no-state\"\u003eIn jihadist-hit Burkina areas, no elections -- and no state\u003c/a\u003e,Counting the vote of the presidential and parliamentary polls began in Ouagadougou on Sunday shortly after 6:00 pm (1800 GMT).Much of it was done by candlelight or flashlight in schools which do not have electricity, a common practice in one of the poorest countries in the world.At one polling station, monitors oversaw counting as helicopters arrived to a nearby airport carrying ballot boxes and staff from offices in remote areas.\"It's important to be there, so no one can say later that there was fraud,\" said Adama, a student who added that he was paid by a small opposition party to watch the ballots be counted.,Before the vote, the opposition had accused the ruling party of having organised \"massive fraud\" in Sunday's first round, allegations which Kabore rejected.,The president's two main challengers are 2015 runner-up Zephirin Diabre and Eddie Komboigo, standing for the party of former president Blaise Compaore.,Kabore would avoid a run-off election by winning more than 50 percent of the vote in the first round -- as he did five years ago.,However his opponents say that will not be possible if the election is carried out fairly in the country which has experienced multiple coups since gaining independence from France in 1960.,The opposition has said it would unite behind the leading candidate in the second round, which has never happened in Burkina Faso before.,Almost all of Kabore's challengers have called for dialogue with the jihadists to be explored, a suggestion Kabore has emphatically rejected.,\u003cb\u003eAlso Read:\u003c/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://opoyi.com/burkina-faso-goes-to-the-polls-in-shadow-of-jihadist-threat\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;Burkina Faso goes to the polls in shadow of jihadist threat\u003c/a\u003e,\"We're really looking forward to security,\" said Abdoulaye Koula, a voter in Ouagadougou.\"We know that it is not easy but we would like there to be peace, that there is forgiveness among the Burkinabe and that we can live together in harmony.\"","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"12.2383","longitude":"-1.5616","name":"Burkina Faso","city":"Ouagadougou"},"keywords":"Burkina Faso presidential election results, presidential election results in Burkina Faso, Election results in Burkina Faso.","originalPublishedOn":"2020-11-24T01:00:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"PaTi0po72ZBb","slug":"7-lakh-voters-opted-for-nota-in-bihar-assembly-elections","slugV2":"india/7-lakh-voters-opted-for-nota-in-bihar-assembly-elections-477743/","title":"7 lakh voters opted for NOTA in Bihar assembly elections","postType":1,"coverMedia":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_YHl8gDBnK.jpg","coverCaption":"Over 4 crore votes were polled in the three-phase Bihar elections.

of New Zealand have voted overwhelmingly to legalize euthanasia, according to the preliminary referendum results, reported AFP. While in another vote, citizens have been tepid in providing approval for recreational use of cannabis.,The two referendums were conducted on October 17, alongside the general election where New Zealanders voted overwhelmingly in favour of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.,According to the initial figures, 65.2% of voters expressed support for euthanasia, while another 33.8% voted against it.,While there was enormous support for euthanasia, 53.1% voter opted against legalising recreational marijuana with a paltry 46.1% in favour of it.,However the initial figures do not include special votes, like overseas ballots, which account for almost 20% of total votes and could still sway the results on the cannabis vote.,The overwhelming support for euthanasia means the measure will pass,irrespective of special votes, when the final results are revealed on Friday.,\u003cb\u003eAlso Read:\u0026nbsp;\u003c/b\u003e\u003ca

binding, the referendum on cannabis is not.,The parliament had passed a legislation on medically assisted death in 2019, but lawmakers delayed its implementation stating a popular mandate was necessary.,As per the law, a mentally sound adult who is suffering from a terminal disease that may kill them within six months or is experiencing ‘unbearable suffering’ can request for a fatal dose.,The request needs to be signed off by the patient's physician and an independent doctor, with a psychiatrist called in if either has doubts about the person's ability to make an informed decision.,Justice Minister Andrew Little has said that the law would come into effect in November 2021.,Ardern had supported the right-to-die bill, stating she reluctantly agreed to the referendum because it was the only way to advance the legislation.,She was coy during the election campaign about her stance on recreational cannabis, although the 40-year-old did admit to smoking marijuana \"a long time ago\".,Ardern's office confirmed Friday she had voted \"yes\" in both referendums.,She \"will progress any legislation in line with the will of the people following the release of the final results next week\", a spokeswoman for Ardern said.,\u003cb\u003eAlso Read:\u0026nbsp;\u003c/b\u003e\u003ca
