On 19 November, the SDP's party council meeting was held ; praised as " the president of the whole nation ", she was unanimously chosen as the presidential candidate.

Ultimately, the SDP's Jenkins was elected.

Chairman of the Centre Party, Johannes Virolainen, was threatened by Kekkonen with dissolution of parliament when Kekkonen wanted to nominate SDP's Sorsa instead of Virolainen as Prime Minister.

His autobiography was titled Fourth Among Equals, reflecting his position as the least prominent of the SDP's founders.

Račan himself made no public appearances after the day he announced his illness, but the media was regularly informed through SDP's spokespeople.

The whole problem occurred when members of the Federal Government from the Social Democratic Party wanted to vote for removals in the management and supervisory boards of public companies that are owned by the Federation, but they couldn't get majority without Radivojević who was member of the SDA, who opposed SDP's proposal.

He was succeeded by Dr Chee Soon Juan, who has remained the Secretary-General since the SDP's Ordinary Party Conference in 1995.

SDP's chairman at that time, Mr Ling How Doong, was quoted as saying that the party " would be run even better " without Chee, meaning that the SDP was not just a one-man show and could survive and even thrive without its leader.

The SDP's Chairman, Mr Ling How Doong, was fielded in Bukit Panjang SMC.

The SDP's final vote share for Sembawang and Bukit Panjang was 23. 3 % and 22. 8 % respectively, marking a slight improvement in results as compared to 2001, but still far short of the national average of 33. 3 %.

Dell later joined the Social Democratic Party and, after the SDP's merger with the Liberal Party in 1988 was a member of the Liberal Democrats.

During the election campaign, he was threatened with a defamation lawsuit by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew as a result of an article published in the SDP's party newspaper.

In 1995 he was elected to Croatian Parliament on SDP's ticket, and was later appointed Minister of Culture when SDP won the 2000 parliamentary elections.

The SDP's team was defeated by the team from the PAP by 63. 9 % of the votes to 36. 1 %.

Chee was first introduced to the public as a member of the SDP's team to stand in a by-election in the Marine Parade Group Representation Constituency in 1992.

This cautious perspective was shared by the SDP's parliamentary group, but radicals in the party pushed the revolution forward nonetheless, calling a general strike for November 14.

He argued at a meeting of the SDP's Revolutionary Council convened in the early morning hours of November 16 that " the position in Russian and the eventual attack of the Germans " was decisive and that the prudent course of action was to pressure parliament into making concessions, guaranteeing action on food and granting and back wages to those who participated in the general strike action.

At the time of the SDP's creation, Owen and Rodgers were sitting Labour Members of Parliament ( MPs ); Jenkins had left Parliament in 1977 to serve as President of the European Commission, while Williams had lost her seat in the 1979 general election.

This irritated the Soviet Union because of the inclusion of ministers from SDP's anti-Communist wing, namely Väinö Leskinen and Olavi Lindblom.

Williams supported the SDP's 1988 merger with the Liberal Party to form the Liberal Democrats.

Owen blamed the SDP's demise on the reforms which had been taking place in the Labour Party since the election of Neil Kinnock as leader in 1983.

Owen had a marked antipathy towards the Liberals though he respected Steel's prior loyalty to his own party contrasting it with Jenkins ' lack of interest in preserving the SDP's independence.

The following is a summary of SDP's results in legislative elections for the Croatian parliament.

Soon, Radivojević claimed that he never made a request for resignation, in order he could vote for SDP's proposal, however, in July, a court expert, found his signature on request for resignation authentic.

He also served as the SDP's International Secretary, a post he held continuously apart from an interruption from July 1994 to October 1995, and served as the vice-president of the party from 1996 to 2000.

This election also saw the PAP engage the SDP's Chiam and WP's Jeyaretnam in a television debate.

The SDP's economic alternatives were dismissed by the PAP which claimed that the SDP policies would lead Singapore to bankruptcy and inflation.

Speeches of the SDP's leaders, analysis, interviews of dissidents in exile and call-in programmes were being podcast, in English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil.

Former senior civil servant Mr Tan Jee Say, private school teacher Ms Michelle Lee Juen, psychiatrist Dr Ang Yong Guan and social activist Dr Vincent Wijeysingha made up the SDP's team for Holland-Bukit Timah GRC.

He was an unsuccessful candidate for president in 1996 and 2001, before winning the 2006 presidential election.

There is, however, no " post " that the winning candidate must pass in order to win, as the winning candidate is required only to have received the highest number of votes in his or her favour.

Of the six musicians who applied, he was the favored candidate, even winning the approval of the city's council.

In November 1976, Major was selected by the Huntingdonshire Conservatives as its candidate, winning in the 1979 general election.

This system allows losing candidates to delegate the votes they receive to the winning candidate in their own or in another district without regard to party.

Delegated voting can be combined with first-past-the-post, instant-runoff, or other counting rules that determine the winning candidate.

If the constituency is in a jurisdiction using list PR in its multimember districts ( MMDs ) the winning candidate needs a relative majority of the votes to win, so that the election in the SMD is by first-past-the-post.

However, if no candidate receives the required number of votes ( usually an absolute majority or 40-45 % with a winning margin of 5-15 %), then those candidates having less than a certain proportion of the votes, or all but the two candidates receiving the most votes, are eliminated, and a second round of voting occurs.

If so many voters give their first preferences to the " weak " candidate that it ends up winning the first round, it is highly likely they will gain enough campaign momentum to have a strong chance of winning the runoff, too, and with it, the election.

The intention of runoff voting is that the winning candidate will have the support of an absolute majority of voters.

In runoff voting the winning candidate is only matched, one-on-one, with one of the other candidates.

The ruling CCM party ’ s candidate, Benjamin W. Mkapa, defeated his three main rivals, winning the presidential election with 71 % of the vote.

In all but two states, Maine and Nebraska, the presidential candidate winning a plurality of votes wins all of the electoral votes, a practice called the unit rule.

The spoiler effect describes the effect a minor party candidate with little chance of winning has in a close election, when that candidate's presence in the election draws votes from a major candidate similar to him / her, thereby causing the opposing candidate to win.
