As election season kicked off in the UK, the energy sector caught some of the headwinds, with senior questions being put to the UK's ruling and opposition parties. Meanwhile, in South Africa, where the results of the country's elections are imminent, questions surfaced over what the future would hold for the country's energy plans following its publication of the master gas plan weeks before polling day.
