So, I'm implementing Raft in Rust, during the test to check if the implementation works in a distributed scenario it happened that the leader received a vote request RPC from a follower that I assumes it didn't receive the heartbeat from the leader and started a new election process.

What should the leader and even the new candidate do?

If the term is higher, it steps down.

Note that you'll typically have a pre-vote round, to ensure that you won't raise the term unnecessarily.
