Javier Milei vs Prem Singh Tamang

On his first day in office, Milei's economy minister Luis Caputo devalued the official peso by 50% to 800 per US dollar. This was part of a shock therapy to address hyperinflation and fiscal deficits.

Javier Milei won the 2023 Argentine general election runoff with 55.7% of the vote against Sergio Massa. He assumed office on December 10, 2023, as a libertarian outsider, the first such figure to lead Argentina.

Milei's government reported a fiscal surplus for the first quarter of 2024, the first quarterly surplus since 2008. This was achieved through deep spending cuts, including to subsidies and public works.

Milei submitted a sweeping omnibus bill to Congress proposing deregulation, privatization, and labor reforms. The bill sparked massive protests and was later withdrawn after failing to gain sufficient legislative support.

Prem Singh Tamang founded the Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) as a breakaway from the Sikkim Democratic Front. The party aimed to challenge the long-standing rule of Pawan Kumar Chamling, focusing on anti-incumbency and local issues.

Prem Singh Tamang led the SKM to a landslide victory in the Sikkim Legislative Assembly election, defeating the incumbent SDF after 24 years. He became Chief Minister, ending Chamling's long tenure.

Prem Singh Tamang led the SKM to a second consecutive victory in the Sikkim Legislative Assembly election, retaining power. The win consolidated his position and the party's dominance in the state.
