Additional Information

• Pakistan — the general election produced a hung parliament; Shehbaz Sharif became Prime Minister at the head of a coalition.
• Indonesia — Prabowo Subianto won the presidency, succeeding Joko Widodo.
• India — the 18th Lok Sabha election was conducted in seven phases, the world's largest democratic exercise with about 64 crore voters. The NDA returned to power and Narendra Modi was sworn in for a third consecutive term.
• Kuwait — elections to the National Assembly; the Assembly was later suspended by the Emir.
• Jordan — parliamentary elections held under a new electoral law that raised the number of seats reserved for political parties.
• Exam tip: for chronology questions, anchor on the events you are certain of — India's April–June schedule is widely known — and place the rest around them rather than trying to recall every date.
