How a revered starchy side dish helped choose Ghana’s next president
Ghana's recent presidential election saw opposition candidate John Mahama win, largely due to economic dissatisfaction among voters. The rising cost of living, exemplified by the increased price of the staple food kenkey, played a significant role in the election outcome. Mahama's campaign capitalized on the economic hardships faced by Ghanaians, contrasting with the ruling New Patriotic Party's perceived disconnect from reality. The economic crisis, exacerbated by global events and national debt issues, led to widespread discontent, resulting in a protest vote against the incumbent government. Mahama's victory reflects a desire for change and hope for economic improvement.

Chemistry won Delhi for BJP, not arithmetic
The BJP's victory in the Delhi Assembly elections is attributed to strategic planning and effective communication under Amit Shah's guidance, overcoming the anti-incumbency sentiment against AAP. The article argues that electoral success is more about chemistry than arithmetic, as seen in other Indian states. The BJP's promise of a double-engine government and alignment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision played a crucial role in their win. The BJP now faces the challenge of delivering on promises, including tackling Delhi's pollution and infrastructure issues, with the assurance of support from the central government.

What’s the Future of Ranked Choice Voting After Tough Election Setbacks?
Ranked choice voting faced significant setbacks in recent elections, with voters in several states rejecting its adoption. Despite these challenges, the system continues to gain traction at the local level, with successful implementations in places like the District of Columbia. Proponents argue that ranked choice voting encourages broader candidate appeal and reduces negative campaigning, while critics claim it complicates the voting process. The future of ranked choice voting remains uncertain, with ongoing legislative efforts to ban it in certain states, particularly those led by Republicans. However, advocacy groups like FairVote remain optimistic about its potential growth.
