Panama’s Presidential Race: A Competitive Field of Candidates Vying for Victory
Panama’s General Election: A Crucial Decision
Panamanians are currently participating in a general election to select the country’s next president and elect numerous lawmakers and officials. After a series of campaign activities, over three million voters are tasked with choosing the most suitable candidate among eight contenders to address Panama’s urgent economic challenges, combat corruption, and revive its status as an attractive investment destination.
With no single party expected to secure a majority in the legislature, where 885 seats are up for grabs, the election outcome remains uncertain. Polling stations will be open for eight hours starting at 7 am (12:00 GMT) for eligible voters.

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Civil war has been going on in Myanmar since 2021. As a result, many generals disappeared, putting the country in danger of being ‘dark’.
This civil war was caused by armed confrontation involving two parties within the country.
Indonesia’s neighboring country has been in a civil war since the military junta led by Min Aung Hlaing overthrew the civilian government in February 2021. Until now, resistance from anti-junta militias continues.
Most recently, the junta said the country had only managed to produce about half of the electricity it needed every day. The regime blames resistance forces for continuing damage to infrastructure and low rainfall.
Myanmar’s power grid produces only 2,800 megawatts of the 5,443 megawatts needed each day, according to an electricity authority statement released by the junta’s information team on Wednesday evening.

Netanyahu: ‘Hamas doesn’t want an agreement, we don’t accept diktats’
“It is Hamas that is preventing an agreement for the release of the hostages.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this, adding that “Israel was and still is ready to conclude a truce in the fight to free our abductees”. But Hamas, he added, “remained entrenched in its extreme positions, first of all the request to withdraw all our forces from Gaza. Israel cannot accept it”. “Therefore – he underlined – Israel will not accept Hamas’ demands, which mean surrender, and will continue to fight until all its objectives are achieved”.
Hamas wants to reach a “comprehensive agreement that puts an end to the aggression, guarantees the withdrawal of the IDF and reaches a serious agreement on the exchange of prisoners”, wrote the leader of the Palestinian faction Ismail Haniyeh on Telegram referring to the negotiations in Cairo. “What’s the point of an agreement,” he added, “if the ceasefire is not its first achievement?”
Hamas leaders began the second day of negotiations in Cairo with mediators from Egypt and Qatar, but representatives of the Islamic faction denounced the “lack of progress”. Hamas arrived in Cairo – one of its representatives said, quoted by the Israeli media – with the determination to reach an agreement “but not at any price”. “An agreement – he added – must put an end to the war and ta
