Megawati Sukarnoputri vs Paul Deschanel

Megawati was elected vice president by the People's Consultative Assembly, serving under President Abdurrahman Wahid. Her appointment was part of a power-sharing arrangement between secular nationalists and Islamic parties.

Megawati's PDI-P won the largest share of votes in the 1999 legislative election, securing 33.7% of the vote. Despite this victory, she was initially denied the presidency due to political maneuvering by Islamic parties.

Megawati Sukarnoputri was sworn in as the fifth president of Indonesia, succeeding Abdurrahman Wahid after his impeachment. She became the first female president of Indonesia and the first woman to lead a Muslim-majority nation.

Megawati was defeated in the first direct presidential election by Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. The election marked Indonesia's first direct presidential vote, and her loss ended her presidency after three years.

Paul Deschanel was elected President of the French Republic in February 1920. His presidency was brief, lasting only seven months, and was marked by his declining mental and physical health.

In September 1920, President Deschanel fell from a moving train near Montargis. He was found wandering in his pajamas, an incident that highlighted his deteriorating mental state and led to his resignation.

Following the train incident and ongoing health issues, Paul Deschanel resigned the presidency in September 1920. He was succeeded by Alexandre Millerand.
