It would be interesting to compare candidates with who stood previously. I also welcome elections but if the previous PTL is standing down and there is only one new candidate, that is more healthy than a single person consistently in the same position (although maybe not ideal).
Are there any statistics as to a change of PTL (even if there is only one candidate standing) ?
