In just over an hour, a total of six presidents have been replaced by three in the North American country of Mexico and in just one week in the South American country of Peru!

The Miracle Election History of the North American country
of Mexico and the South American country of Peru

In recent times, we have seen three presidents swap in just one week in the South American country of Peru. In the twentieth century, three presidents were replaced in just over an hour in the North American country of Mexico, a world record to date. In today's post, I will discuss the ongoing crisis and interesting government measures in Peru. Finally, I will try to explain why national elections are held in Israel every few days but not in Canada.

Three presidents in a week in Peru

Last November, Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra was accused of corruption. President Martin Vijkara has been removed from parliament by impeachment on bribery charges. After the impeachment of Martin Vizcarra, the head and speaker of the Congress, Manuel Marino, came to power under the Peruvian constitution. Supporters of Martin Vizcarra have formed the largest movement in Peru in two decades since he was sworn in as president. Marino resigned after the cannon of the movement. Francisco Sagasti, a popular lawyer and former World Bank economist, then became president of the congressional election. Sagasti is now the interim president. Peru will hold general elections next July. Today, in the 21st century, the most transparent politics in the world is in Peru, the country of the Inca Empire.

In just over an hour, three presidents were replaced in the North American country of Mexico, a world record so far.

The time is February 17, 1913. The time is 11 am. Francisco Madero was then the 36th President of Mexico. Suddenly, President Maduro and his vice president were arrested by a military crew, and both later confessed to the assassination. Therefore, according to the rules of the constitution, Foreign Minister Pedro Lascurin became the President of Mexico. He was president for only 28 minutes. He was the president for the shortest time in the history of the world. Because only twenty-five minutes after Lascurin became president, in eleven-twenty-five minutes, he was removed from power and General Victoriano Huerta became president. This is the world record so far. According to Mexico's 1857 constitution, if a president dies or resigns before the end of his term, the vice president will be president. If the vice president also has a problem, the attorney general will be the president. If there is no Attorney General, then the Minister of Foreign Affairs, if there is no Minister of Foreign Affairs, then the Minister of Interior will be the President.

Now come to Peru. Peru is one of the 16 'Megadiverse Countries' in the world. As a student of political science, the Peruvian government system is as interesting to us as it is to you.

President, Vice President, and Prime Minister together

Peru has a president, a vice-president, and a prime minister at the same time. In other countries of the world, such as the President and the Vice-President (usually in the United States) or the President and the Prime Minister (such as in Bangladesh and Japan), there are three together in Peru. In such a system of government, the Prime Minister is called "Premier" in the language of political science. Here the Prime Minister serves as the head of the cabinet. The premier is the head of Peru's 16-member cabinet. And the president is the head of government.

No party gets a majority vote as there are more than two dominant political parties

In most countries of the world, there are many political parties (Multi-Party System) but there are only two main or dominant political parties. For example, the Awami League and the BNP in Bangladesh, the Conservative and Liberal Party in the United Kingdom, the Democrats and Republicans in the United States, and the Congress and Janata Party in India. But Peru is a country where the main or dominant political party is above ten, a little more precisely 12 o'clock. So if you look at the results of previous elections in Peru, you will see that no party usually gets more than 13% of the vote.

★ Runoff Voting / Two Round System

If you want to be the president of a country through the election system, then you have to get an absolute majority or 50% votes. When there are many active political parties in a state, you alone will not get 50% of the vote. With about 10/12 active parties in Peru, no party usually gets more than 13% of the vote, so Peru has the second round of voting. In political science, we call it "Runoff Voting" or "Ballotage" and in some countries, it is also called "Two Round System". At that time, Peru was re-elected with the two candidates who got the most votes out of all the 10/12 candidates. Thus the president is elected through the second round of voting. Such Runoff Voting took place in France in 2002, in addition to Peru. This system is also used in the election of senators in the Czech Republic and in the parliament of Iran.

Peru is important to tourists, such as the Amazon, the Andes Mountains, Lake Titicaca, and the Sacred Valley. Because of its transparent political culture.

That is why the national elections are held in Israel for several days in a row

Despite having several active political parties, the "two-round system" voting does not cause any political problems in Peru. But you see, there is a lot of conflict in Israel about elections. There are about 11 active political parties in Israel. Israel's Knesset won 61 of the 120 seats in parliament. But with 11 active parties, usually, no party gets 61 seats in recent years. There is no two-round voting system in Israel. So two or three parties have to come to power by forming a coalition by securing a total of 61 seats. But the ideology of these eleven political parties is different. The ideology of one party clashes with the ideology of the other party. 

As a result, it becomes difficult for a few groups to form an alliance or for everyone to come to a platform. A few days after the formation of the coalition, the coalition broke up again. So you will see that elections were held in Israel for several days in a row because of the inability to form a coalition due to conflicting ideologies or the break up of the coalition. There have been a total of four elections in Israel in the last two years. But despite having several active political parties in Canada, there is not much ideological difference between the parties, so it is very easy to form a coalition government after the election.
