Town elected prisoner as mayor
Former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte has reclaimed his old post as mayor of Davao City—all while imprisoned thousands of miles away in The Hague. At 80 years old and facing charges of crimes against humanity over his brutal 'war on drugs', Duterte has secured a staggering lead with over 400,000 votes, leaving his nearest rival in the dust. His arrest in March didn’t stop voters from rallying behind him—proving that, in the Philippines, political loyalty runs deeper than prison walls.
