Guillermo Endara vs Theresa May

Guillermo Endara, running as the candidate of the opposition coalition ADOC, won the Panamanian presidential election against Manuel Noriega's candidate. The election was marred by fraud and violence, and the results were subsequently annulled by Noriega's regime.

Following the U.S. invasion of Panama in December 1989, Endara was sworn in as President at a U.S. military base. His presidency was initially seen as legitimate by the international community, but he faced challenges of rebuilding the country after the invasion.

Endara served as President from 1989 to 1994. His administration focused on economic recovery, dismantling Noriega's military apparatus, and strengthening democratic institutions. He faced criticism for corruption and slow progress, but oversaw the transition to a civilian government.

May became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom after David Cameron's resignation following the Brexit referendum. She was the second female prime minister after Margaret Thatcher and faced the challenge of implementing Brexit.

May formally triggered Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union, beginning the two-year process of the UK's withdrawal from the EU. This was a historic step, initiating the formal Brexit negotiations.

May called a snap general election, hoping to strengthen her majority for Brexit negotiations. The election resulted in a hung parliament, with the Conservatives losing their majority, a major political miscalculation.

May negotiated a Withdrawal Agreement with the European Union, including the controversial Northern Ireland backstop. The agreement was rejected three times by the House of Commons, leading to a political deadlock.

May resigned as prime minister after failing to get her Brexit deal through Parliament. She acknowledged that she had done her best but that it was time for a new leader to take forward the Brexit process.
