Former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte wins mayoral election from jail cell at The Hague
“Former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte has won a mayoral election in his home city by a landslide, unimpeded by his detention at the International Criminal Court (ICC) on charges of murder as a crime against humanity.”
“With over 60 per cent of returns in, Duterte had built an insurmountable lead of 405,000 votes to 49,000 for his nearest competitor, results from the Commission on Elections (Comelec) released by local media showed.”
“The former president’s two sons were also set to win posts on Monday, one re-elected congressman and the other winning the contest for Davao vice-mayor and likely to serve in his father’s absence.”
