The Tamborasi, the shortest river in the world, got 3 mentions and came out on top. Pader got 2, though those who mentioned it won't be very happy with that.
Tamborasi = 20m
Kuokanjoki = 3.5m
I win

And so for the first time in my rounds we see a perfect round, and it is for trekbmc! At a decent margin, jseadog1 comes 2nd, closely ahead of SSJ2Luigi, roturn and PeterRyder.

In the overall we also see trekbmc taking over the lead. With 2 rounds to go he is three points ahead of former leader baseballlover312, so anything could happen, especially with the others not being too far away as well.

Sorry for the slight delay once again, but I'm really incredibly busy for uni right now.
1. Name a European commissioner that’s not Juncker
The Dutchman Timmermans got out on top (against my expectations actually) with 5 points. Barroso got 2 points, the rest 1.
Spoiler Timmermans 5x
Barroso 2x
Moscovici 1x
Andriukaitis 1x
Vestager 1x
Juncker 1x
Bruce 1x
2. Name a dead politician
Nelson Mandela came out on top with 3 points. JF Kennedy would get you 2 points, the rest is a 1.
Spoiler Mandela 3x
Kennedy 2x
Jo Cox 1x
Washington 1x
Trump (soon 1x)
King Dick 1x
Silpa-archa 1x
Voscherau 1x
3. Name an African politician
South African president Jacob Zuma came out on top here with 3 points. Mandela again scoring points, this time 2, plus jseadog effectively trolls TMM by mentioning Obama. Assad is interesting as well since Syria is not an African country.
Spoiler Zuma 3x
Mandela 2x
Obama 2x
Dlamini-Zuma 1x
Walter 1x
Mayardit 1x
Assad 1x
4. Name a politician who’s not head of state or government
Hillary Clinton did manage to win something at least. With 6 mentions she was the only to get more than one.
Spoiler Hillary Clinton 6x
Trump 1x
Juncker 1x
Asselborn 1x
Trevor Manuel 1x
Stuart 1x
5. Name an Asian politician
Everyone's favourite dictator Kim Jong-Un scores the most points with 5. trekbmc ruins his round by mentioning the wrong Kim, which only gets one point. Just like any other answer.
Spoiler Kim Jong-Un 5x
Kim Jong-Il 1x
Ban Ki-Moon 1x
Mao 1x
Choe Thae-Bok 1x
Mirziyoev 1x
Yang 1x
No perfect round, but the win goes to roturn with 21 points! 1 point behind we find fjhoekie. Current leader trekbmc has a terrible round and loses some ground.

In the overall baseballlover312 reclaims the lead! However, that means not much with one round to go, as roturn is just one point behind and trekbmc one point further behind. The rest is a bit further away but of course some bad rounds could screw up everything for the leaders.

Oops, wrong Kim, I know nothing about politics.
Congrats Roturn and BBL on taking the lead, will be an interesting battle in the final round, although PeterRyder and fjhoeckie are right in there too.

King Dick was what people called former NZ Prime Minister Richard Seddon
Walter Mzembi is a Zimbabwean MP and Cabinet Minister
