The world’s largest display of democracy has just taken place, with close to a billion people eligible to vote in an election across 44 days. Narendra Modi has been sworn in for a rare third term as India’s Prime Minister, after emerging victorious in a tough election with a slim majority.
His party, the BJP, had hoped for a landslide victory, but needed to rely on a coalition to gain power.
