On Tuesday, official results confirmed that former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has been elected as mayor of Davao, his home city. The Davao election board announced Duterte's victory after all votes were counted. Duterte, who served as president of the Philippines from 2016 to 2022, is currently detained by the International Criminal Court (ICC). The ICC has charged him in connection with actions taken during his administration's anti-drug campaign, which has been the subject of international scrutiny. Following the announcement of the election results, supporters of Duterte gathered outside Davao City Hall. Duterte's legal representatives have stated their intention to continue challenging the charges brought by the ICC. The mayoral election was observed by both local and international monitors to ensure transparency and fairness.
