I don't know, the definition looks specific enough to me. Elections in the United Nations do not ever have political parties (as far as I am aware), so I would say that those articles are properly included in the category. That said, I don't feel strongly about it one way or the other. What are your thoughts on creating a new category for UN elections? —

Edit dispute regarding Butagira article and candidate qualifications
Regarding this edit
[1], I believe it does not comport with Wikipedia policies. I have been going back and forth with editor Francisrocco and I wanted to set out my position in more detail before reverting again. There are three aspects:
(a) A Ugandan newspaper reported that Sierra Leone had made a commitment on September 22 to withdraw the candidacy of Koroma
[2]. If we mention that the newspaper reporting this is based in Uganda, it is also relevant that the report was picked up in Sierra Express Media
[3]. It appears to be a wire-service type of arrangement where the Sierra Express Media republishes the original article with attribution. Francisrocco edited the article to say that the author of the article published it on a Sierra Leonean website, but there is no evidence of that point of view. I think we should just say "the article was carried in Sierra Leonean media" or words to that effect.
(b) Francisrocco edited the article to say "Sierra Leone has never confirmed that it made such an undertaking. Rather, it continues to support Koroma strongly." However, there is no source for that. Please see
Wikipedia:Verifiability.
(c) Francisrocco inserted a paragraph making an argument (based on the candidates' CVs) that Koroma's legal experience is more relevant for the post than Sebutinde's. I believe this violates
Wikipedia:No original research. There is no
reliable source cited that makes the kind of argument Francisrocco inserted into the article. Essentially it is a
synthesis that violates the No-Original-Research policy. Also I believe it violates the policy
Wikipedia:Neutral point of view to include an unsourced argument for supporting one candidate over another. —

I removed {{3O}}, as I see no dispute yet. You might want to request temporary protection for the page (see
WP:PROTECT for details) to pass from edit warring to actual discussion. If the discussion will lead to clash of opinions, feel free to relist it at
WP:3O. —
