How do international assessments of the Tajikistani elections differ, and what factors contribute to this divergence?

The PDP's overwhelming victory reflects President Rahmon's three-decade-long rule and suppression of opposition parties over the past 10 years. International observers such as the OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) did not monitor the election and have previously deemed Tajikistani elections not compliant with international standards, while allied organizations like the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation considered it 'free and transparent'. This disparity highlights the geopolitical context of the election.

How does Hamburg's unique election system impact the representation of smaller parties and independent candidates compared to other proportional representation systems?

Hamburg's election system allocates 71 of 121 seats based on individual candidate votes in constituencies, with 3-5 seats per constituency.

Currently, no unexpected individual victories are projected.", A2="The remaining 50 seats are distributed proportionally based on party votes for the overall list and individual candidates.
