Quick takeaways
- The outcome of the upcoming elections in South Africa in 2024 may weaken the long-standing ANC's grip on power and potentially lead to the formation of a coalition government, with significant implications for the country's future.
- China's attempts to influence the upcoming presidential election in Taiwan, which is shaping up to be a battle between the ruling DPP and the KMT, will impact cross-strait relations and China's regional influence.
Deep dives
Russian interference and elections in Ukraine
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has been ongoing for almost two years. While Russia hopes for a resolution in 2024, they also want to see a change in government in Ukraine, ideally a pro-Russian government. The outcome of the US election is also important for Russia, as they prefer a Trump presidency that is less supportive of Ukraine.
