The Year Ahead 2024: Asia Heads To The Polls, US-China Ties, Jokowi's Legacy | World

2024 is a big election year, with voters in parts of the world such as the US, Taiwan, and India heading to the polls. The results will affect a collective population of about four billion people and impact global stability and prosperity.

The US looks primed for a rematch between President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump. The lead-up, and outcome, will weigh heavily on Washington’s ties with the rest of the world, especially China. Beijing will also be keeping watch on Taiwan’s presidential election. China considers the island as a breakaway province to be unified, and the choice of Taiwanese voters at the ballot box will play a role in shaping the state of cross-strait ties.

Elsewhere in the world – polls will also be happening in Europe, while Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party will be picking its next leader. Indonesia, too, will be staging the world's largest single-day polls – a watershed event that will define its post-Jokowi era.
