Jorge Batlle vs Yousaf Raza Gillani

Jorge Batlle was elected president of Uruguay in the 1999 general election as the Colorado Party candidate, defeating the Broad Front candidate Tabar

Uruguay experienced a severe banking crisis in 2002, triggered by the Argentine economic crisis. Depositors withdrew billions of dollars, leading to a bank run. Batlle's government imposed a freeze on bank deposits and negotiated a $3 billion loan from the IMF.

Batlle signed a free trade agreement with Mexico in November 2003, aiming to boost bilateral trade and investment. The agreement was part of Uruguay's strategy to diversify its trade relations beyond Mercosur.

Batlle completed his presidential term in March 2005, handing power to Tabar

Yousaf Raza Gillani was elected as the 18th Prime Minister of Pakistan on March 25, 2008, after the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) won the general elections. He led a coalition government and was the first Prime Minister from the PPP since Benazir Bhutto's assassination.

Under Gillani's premiership, the 18th Amendment to the Constitution was passed on April 8, 2010, which repealed the 17th Amendment and restored the parliamentary system. The amendment devolved powers to provinces and removed the president's power to dissolve parliament.

On June 19, 2012, the Supreme Court of Pakistan disqualified Yousaf Raza Gillani from holding public office for contempt of court. The court ruled that he had failed to write to Swiss authorities to reopen corruption cases against President Asif Ali Zardari.
