Draft:Anti Incumbency Wave of 2024

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Anti-Incumbency Wave of 2024 was a pattern of anti-incumbency that characterized the elections of 2024[1][2]. For the first time since widespread global adoption of democracy, every governing coalition of a developed country lost vote share compared to their previous election result[3]. This occurred during a year noted to have an abnormally large number of elections, with about half the world's population participating[1][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].

Possible Causes

[edit]

Multiple factors have been proposed as causes of this phenomenon. Voters may have held incumbent governments responsible for the period of higher inflation since the COVID-19 pandemic[1].

Elections

[edit]

Taiwan held both presidential and legislative elections.
