rfi.fr/en/africa/20240329-former-south-african-president-zuma-barred-from-may-election
Quick Glance: Impact of Jacob Zuma's Election Exclusion on South Africa's Vote
- The exclusion of former President Jacob Zuma from the elections in May is heightening political tensions in South Africa as the country gears up for what is anticipated to be a fiercely competitive electoral battle.
- Zuma's opposition to the ANC challenges his previous party's dominance and might result in the ANC falling below the 50% vote mark for the first time.
- While this may dampen the MK's momentum, the 2021 protests indicate that barring him from the election could rally his loyal supporters.
- Following the announcement, the MK announced plans to challenge the decision. A potential court ruling in favor of Zuma's candidacy could revive his political prospects and present a significant obstacle to the ANC during a period of declining popularity.

Quick Glance: Turkey's Local Election: Erdogan and His Rival Imamoglu
- Turkey is conducting municipal elections across 81 provinces on Sunday, March 31, with President Tayyip Erdogan's AK Party aiming to regain cities lost in 2019, including Istanbul and Ankara.
- The election is viewed as a nationwide measure of Erdogan's backing and the resistance of the opposition, notably Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu of Istanbul.
- In the prior municipal elections of 2019, the primary opposition party surprised Erdogan by securing victories in Istanbul and Ankara, ending over two decades of AKP rule.
- Managing major cities and their budgets can grant parties control over funding, contracts, and job creation, enhancing their popularity nationally.
