...programs designed to help India's downtrodden to study teaching and then law. She joined the BSP in 1984 and, as the head of unstable coalitions, went on to become Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister for three brief stints before last year's breakout victory when the party won outright...
Members of the opposition have two theories. The first is that Mugabe is trying to push himself over the 50% mark and win the election outright - though they say that is increasingly difficult given the amount of unofficial results indicating otherwise. The second theory is that the 84-year-old Mugabe, who has ruled Zimbabwe for 28 years, is trying to negotiate an exit. That is the more likely scenario, says David Coltart, a newly reelected member of parliament from Bulawayo.

In Paris, incumbent Socialist mayor Betrand Delanoë added eight points to his razor-thin margin of victory in 2001 - not only winning an outright majority of the city council, but also positioning himself as a favorite in an expected showdown with former presidential candidate Ségolène Royal for the party's leadership later this year. Socialist-led tickets captured France's third-largest city, Toulouse, after 37 years of conservative domination...
