In a stunning political twist, ex-President Rodrigo Duterte has been elected mayor of Davao City with over 662,000 votes—despite being jailed in The Hague over his brutal war on drugs. The crowd erupted as the ICC detainee was proclaimed victor, defeating Karlo Nograles in a landslide. Duterte’s return cements his family’s grip on power, with sons, grandsons, and allies sweeping key positions. But as he faces charges of crimes against humanity, the question remains: Can a man rule from a jail cell—and what does this mean for the Marcos-Duterte power feud?
