Nkurunziza wins a landslide victory, taking 69.41% of the vote, 50 percentage points ahead of his leading opponent. He will serve a third five-year term. The head of the national electoral commission (Ceni):

These presidential elections are a critical step for the population and the international community…I have always thought that the elections the Ceni is organising will not resemble those of Gabon, Mali, Nigeria, even less those of France, the US, Cameroon or Belgium. They are elections organised in Burundi for Burundians by Burundians, with challenges that remain our own.

Becomes youngest MP since 17th century

0 Comments

Black is elected in the Paisley and Renfrewshire South constituency, beating Douglas Alexander by more than 5500 votes (23,548 votes to 17,864), a 27% swing. Alexander held a majority of more than 16,000 before the election. She becomes the youngest MP since the 17th Century.

The people of Scotland are speaking and it’s time for their voice to be heard at Westminster. I make this promise…that is exactly what I plan to do…I think it’s truly because people have awakened to the fact this Westminster establishment has not been serving them and the Labour party in Scotland has not been serving them, and they must’ve felt that Douglas Alexander wasn’t serving them. What people are looking for is that change, an end to austerity and the SNP were the only ones offering that.

On a second referendum:

This election, we have continually said is not about independence, it’s about making sure the Westminster establishment works to the best it possibly can for Scotland.

Walker becomes Wisconsin’s 45th governor on promises to bring jobs to the state, cut spending, lower taxes, and stop a federally funded passenger train from Madison to Milwaukee. With Republicans taking over both houses of the State legislature, it should be easy for him to pass his agenda.

South Africa’s ruling African National Congress wins the country’s election. The ANC receives 65.9% of the vote, the Democratic Alliance 16.66% and the Congress of the People (COPE) – formed by ANC dissidents – 7.42%. The turnout is 77.30%. but the result falls just short of the two-thirds majority needed to make unchallenged changes to the constitution. Zuma claims victory and the outcome is welcomed by ministers in neighboring Zimbabwe as intensifying pressure on President Robert Mugabe.
