Flawed elections and poor governance underlie Africa’s backsliding How do we explain the developmental and governance reversals now haunting Africa? Bad governance and flawed elections are key threads running through recent insurgencies, coups and instability, writes Jakkie Cilliers in ISS Today. With nearly 20 elections this year in Africa, a floundering #AfricanUnion must recommit to its peace and security mandate and focus on ensuring free and fair polls. https://ow.ly/Iios50Qs3mE

''After extensive delays, Iraqi Kurdistan is slated to hold regional parliamentary elections on Feb. 25 next year. The vote, already postponed twice, threatens to deepen political divisions in the Kurdistan region. Uncertainty around government formation will likely follow polling day. This will bring risks of further fragmentation and may further diminish Kurdish autonomy.  The delays to the vote stem from disagreements between the two main Kurdish political parties—the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK)—over the law governing regional elections. The polls were originally scheduled to be held in Oct. 2022 but were rescheduled for Nov. 2023 before being delayed until early next year. The PUK has argued that the current setup privileges the KDP, including the allocation of minority quota seats.'' Bekir Aydoğan for Amwaj.media #iraq #kurdistan #kdp #puk #elections

🇱🇧 Lebanon has been postponing its municipal elections since 2022. Faced with prolonged economic difficulties, political instability and suffering Israeli bombing on its Southern border, Lebanon faces many challenges. The government argues that the many issues in the country impede the celebration of local elections. For years now, DRI has been working to improve local governance in Lebanon. We have worked with Lebanese municipalities to enhance cooperation, strengthen funding, and prepare candidates for elections. ➡️ Lebanese Municipalities Unite over Common Goals https://bit.ly/3wJ0rIq ➡️ Draft municipal laws make a comeback at Parliament https://bit.ly/3V83fIm ➡️ Taking election campaigning to the next level https://bit.ly/3WTF4Ph We hope Lebanon celebrates local elections soon and citizens will be given a voice in choosing their local governments.
