Photos: Thousands join India’s opposition rally against election chief

Tens of thousands of people marched in New Delhi on Sunday at a rally organised by the INDIA opposition bloc and led by Rahul Gandhi. Demonstrators demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, whom opposition parties accuse of overseeing a biased voter-list revision that has removed more than 130 million names, including those of minorities. The Election Commission denies favouring any party and says voters wrongly removed can re-register; the BJP accuses the opposition of undermining democracy. India’s next general election is scheduled for 2029.

Lukusa says mediation between the two leaders should be handled by impartial civil society groups and international mediators, and urges the C64 to join the national dialogue under Tshisekedi’s authority.

Opinion – Sonko or the arsonist’s politics: When personal ambition threatens the collective future

Ndiamé Sakho argues that the confrontation between Ousmane Sonko and Bassirou Diomaye Faye has moved beyond political rivalry and threatens the public interest and Senegal’s economy. The Finance Committee rejected the 2026 supplementary budget bill twice, first on October 23 and again on October 30, after it was referred back to the committee on October 27 at Cheikh Diba’s request. The Finance Ministry says it supplied the requested documents and answered Pastef’s memorandum, while majority deputies consider the government’s responses insufficient. Sakho questions why no counterproposals have emerged and says the bill’s prospects in the plenary session appear poor.
