Women seen as voters, not candidates; West Bengal most hospitable, Karnataka worst

IndiaTimes Sunday, 7 April 2024

By 2019, this had risen to 48.2%, nearly equal to their share of the population. However, only 9% of all candidates were women.

Rise of Hezbollah Again? Joseph Aoun Elected Lebanon’s President| What Does it Mean for Israel? [Video]

Rise of Hezbollah Again? Joseph Aoun Elected Lebanon’s President| What Does it Mean for Israel?

Lebanon’s political stalemate has ended with the election of Army Chief Joseph Aoun as president, after 13 failed attempts and over a year without a leader. Aoun’s election comes during a delicate ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel, following devastating clashes that left Lebanon reeling. Backed by international powers like the US and Saudi Arabia, Aoun’s presidency is seen as a potential turning point for the country’s fractured politics and strained international relations.Hezbollah’s role in the election has raised questions about its future influence, especially as the group has been weakened by the recent conflict with Israel. Aoun, viewed as a reformist leader, faces monumental challenges, including rebuilding Lebanon’s shattered economy, navigating the fragile peace with Israel, and maintaining national unity amid deep political divisions. #JosephAoun #LebanonPolitics #Hezbollah #IsraelConflict #MiddleEastTensions #LebanonPresident #JosephAounElected #HezbollahRise #IsraelLebanon #CeasefireTalks #MiddleEastNews #JosephAounLeadership #LebanonFuture #RegionalStability #LebanonReforms Also Read West Bengal's Anti-Rape Bill Aparajita Sent to President for Consideration :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/west-bengal-governor-refers-anti-rape-bill-to-president-011-3927913.html?ref=DMDesc Meet To Lam: From Police Chief To President Of Vietnam :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/meet-to-lam-from-police-chief-to-president-of-vietnam-3831659.html?ref=DMDesc Putin's Landslide Victory: Securing Fifth Term And Surpassing Stalin As Longest-Serving Leader :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-putin-secures-fifth-term-with-landslide-victory-in-russian-presidential-election-3777051.html?ref=DMDesc
