On October 18th, Bolivian held its first general election since the disputed 2019 election. Luis Arce and his running mate David Choquehuanca, of the Movement for Socialism party (MAS-IPSP) won the election with 55.1% of the vote. The general election was originally scheduled for May 3rd, but it was delayed to September 6th and then to October 18th. Arce had previously served as Morales’s Minister of Economy and Public Finance. While Choquehuanca had previously served as Chancellor of Bolivia. Arce received almost double the votes of the closest candidate, Carlos Mesa of the FRI, a center left party. MAS-IPSP was also the ruling party in Bolivia before the 2019 political crisis. MAS-IPSP also held on to its majorities in the Chamber of Deputies and Senate of Bolivia.

20,000 is considered a large number. To count from 1 to 20,000 would take you approximately five hours—twenty thousand seconds totals to 5 hours, 33 minutes, and 20 seconds.

Over 80% of the town would be gone.

For the third time, Alpha Condé and Cellou Dalein Diallo faced off at the polls for the Guinean presidency. The 82-year-old Alpha Condé won a much-disputed third term with 59% of the vote after elections on October 18th. There is a two-term limit, but a constitutional referendum last March increased the presidential term from five to six years and also reset the term count of the current president. This gives Condé the opportunity to remain in office for another twelve years, something that has led to violent protests spreading across the nation.
