Around the world, 16 elections resulted in party turnover - an important indicator of democratic health that shows elections can lead to a shift in political leadership and can reflect political accountability. Botswana’s general election on 30 October 2024 marked the end of nearly 58 years of uninterrupted rule by the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), and President Mokgweetsi Masisi of the BDP graciously conceded defeat. #ProtectElections 👉 https://lnkd.in/dcvBHcjj

Throughout the year, #Luxembourg seized opportunities to champion the inclusion and participation of women and marginalized individuals in democratic processes. These efforts also integrated vital perspectives on the links between gender as well as International IDEA’s new workstreams on Climate Change and Democracy and Digitalization and Democracy, recognizing the interconnected nature of these themes. International IDEA is grateful for Luxembourg’s exemplary leadership and looks forward to continuing the close partnership beyond 2024. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/dMhJ-938
