Viktor Yanukovych won the election with a marginal vote of 2.41 percentage points over Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.
The world is always in search of effective leaders and when these leaders aren’t able to meet up to their nation expectations, then a re election would be called. Of course, this isn’t a perfect mold for every elections but most. Though the triumph of this election is marginal, I’ve come to realize that one of the relatively most essential components to the victory has a lot of do with the time line before they are being elected. Since power with authority is only given after being elected, most would have to captivate the hearts of the nation through their words and few deliberate efforts which maybe glamorized by the media. Therefore, the point where most countries every felt hope in my personal opinion is everything before the person gets elected.
This is why we can quote many different instances where the term ‘government failure’ falls into place. When the failure of leadership in Venezuelan and even this Ukraine elections where the leader failed to bring about rejuvenating economic and worse still having political infighting. Even as i typed the term of government failure, i cannot help but to believe that such term is an irony.
Now I simply wonder about this marginal percentage point of victory, which implies nearly half the nation doubts his ability to lead effectively. So even if he promise is simply comfortable and safe, will that actually be achievable? Or was is simply another peak before one gets elected?
Therefore, I believe that the true test of a democratic leadership comes only after one is being elected but nothing too glamorized about the process towards the title.
On a random note, I do believe that real leadership is tested in democracy state then communism or autocratic states.
Having said all these, I comprehend that leading a nation is simply beyond an idea. Just like how Hillary Clinton puts it in the December issue of Newsweek, it’s a 24/7 job. But i would like to push it further to 25/7. How does that happen? Only someone who the right strategy and tenacity would then be able to do it.
