Karis was elected as the sixth President of Estonia, succeeding Kersti Kaljulaid. His presidency focuses on social cohesion, digitalization, and environmental sustainability, building on Estonia's reputation as a digital leader.

As president, Karis addressed the nation during the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the importance of vaccination and public health measures. He supported the government's response while advocating for balanced policies.

Tsvangirai founded the MDC as a trade union-backed opposition party to challenge Robert Mugabe's ZANU-PF. The party quickly became the main opposition in Zimbabwe.

Tsvangirai won the first round of the presidential election with 47.9% of the vote against Mugabe's 43.2%. However, he withdrew from the runoff due to widespread violence against his supporters.

Tsvangirai became Prime Minister in a power-sharing government with Robert Mugabe, following the disputed 2008 election. The Government of National Unity aimed to resolve the political and economic crisis.

Tsvangirai lost the presidential election to Robert Mugabe, receiving 34% of the vote against Mugabe's 61%. The MDC alleged widespread fraud, but the result was upheld by the courts.

Tsvangirai died of colon cancer at the age of 65. His death was a major blow to the opposition movement in Zimbabwe, leaving a leadership vacuum in the MDC.
