Modi’s 25‑Year Leadership Marked as Rare Democratic Milestone

Celebrations erupted in New Delhi on October 7 as international leaders recognized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 25‑year run as the head of India’s government. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of Nigeria called the feat “historical,” noting that sustaining democratic leadership for a quarter of a century is exceedingly uncommon. He praised Modi’s uninterrupted service from his early days as Gujarat’s chief minister through his tenure as Prime Minister since 2014, citing it as evidence of deep public confidence. Both the Belgian and Dominican Republic leaders echoed the sentiment, stressing that the enduring partnership between their nations and India will continue to grow under Modi’s steady guidance.
