In this photo gallery, we look at the world of politics, which has been nothing less than "turbulent" in 2020. Leadership changed in Japan and the United States, bringing both hope and skepticism. Meanwhile, everyday citizens got political and took to the streets, shouting so loud that even face masks couldn’t muzzle their voices. The stage is set for change, but it remains to be seen what 2021 will bring.
Yoshihide Suga stands to a round of applause in the Lower House after being selected to be the new prime minister of Japan in September.
