John Atta Mills won the 2008 presidential election as the candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), defeating Nana Akufo-Addo of the NPP. The election was closely contested and required a runoff.

President John Atta Mills died suddenly at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra on July 24, 2012. His death was attributed to a short illness. Vice President John Dramani Mahama was sworn in as his successor.

Juan Bosch was elected President of the Dominican Republic in the country's first free elections after the 31-year dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo. He won with 60% of the vote and took office in February 1963, promising social and economic reforms.

After only seven months in office, Bosch was overthrown by a military coup led by General El

Supporters of Bosch launched a rebellion to restore him to power, triggering a civil war. The conflict led to US military intervention (Operation Power Pack) to prevent a perceived communist takeover. The war ended with a ceasefire and a compromise government.

After the civil war, Bosch returned to the Dominican Republic but was barred from running in the 1966 election. He continued to be a prominent opposition figure and intellectual, writing extensively on politics and history until his death in 2001.

Bosch founded the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) after splitting from the Dominican Revolutionary Party (PRD). The PLD became a major political force, and Bosch ran for president several times, though he never won again. The party later produced three presidents.
