Ana Brnabic vs Chris Hipkins

Brnabic was appointed as the first female and openly gay Prime Minister of Serbia, succeeding Aleksandar Vucic who became President. Her appointment was seen as a step towards modernization and EU integration.

Brnabic was re-appointed as Prime Minister after the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) won the parliamentary election. She formed a new government focused on economic recovery, digitalization, and EU accession.

Brnabic was re-appointed as Prime Minister for a third term, continuing to lead the government. Her tenure focused on economic reforms, infrastructure projects, and maintaining a multi-vector foreign policy.

Hipkins succeeded Jacinda Ardern as Prime Minister after her resignation. He became the 41st Prime Minister of New Zealand, leading the Labour Party into the 2023 general election.

Hipkins led Labour to a decisive defeat in the general election, winning only 34 seats to National's 48. He resigned as Labour leader following the loss, ending his brief tenure as Prime Minister.

As Prime Minister, Hipkins oversaw the final stages of New Zealand's COVID-19 response, including the end of mandatory isolation requirements and the transition to living with the virus.

Hipkins' government coordinated the national response to Cyclone Gabrielle, which caused widespread flooding and damage in the North Island. The government declared a national state of emergency and allocated recovery funding.
