Earlier in February this year, the Indian general election is a powerful testament to this reformist wave sweeping the nation. This reformist wave not only challenges the BJP’s dominance but also reaffirms the Indian electorate’s commitment to democratic principles and social harmony. Later in July, reformist candidate Masoud Pezeshkian won Iran’s presidential election, symbolizing a resurgence of the reformist wave. The reformist victory in Iran signals a potential shift in the country’s approach to both domestic and international issues, embodying the broader aspirations of the reformist wave. This reformist wave of 2024 is not confined to a few isolated cases but represents a broader global trend toward political renewal and reform.
