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?

The former president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, has won a mayoral election despite being detained at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The.. Sky News
In a dramatic political comeback, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has clinched a landslide victory in Davao's mayoral race—despite being detained by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on charges of Murder as a crime against humanity. With 80% of votes counted, Duterte is winning by a margin of eight times over his closest rival. The ex-president’s arrest in March over his Bloody "war on drugs" crackdown only intensified support among his loyal base, with his old social media pages flooded with celebratory messages. If sworn in, Duterte would become the first former Asian head of state to hold office from ICC custody, while his sons also dominate local races

In a dramatic diplomatic shift, the US is reportedly blocking Ukrainian President Zelensky from attending next month’s NATO summit in The Hague. Media reports suggest Ukraine’s membership bid is off the agenda to avoid friction with President Trump, who has ruled out NATO accession for Kiev. While Ukraine may attend minor sessions, it will be sidelined from top-level talks. Meanwhile, only a few non-member nations like Japan and Australia are invited. NATO’s message is clear — Ukraine may be an ally, but not a member, at least not any time soon.
