Kenya open to 2027 AFCON delay over election tensions

Kenya’s local organising committee says it would welcome a postponement of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations because of likely election related tensions in the region. Committee chair Nicholas Musonye told AFP that shifting the tournament to 2028 would be good for Kenya as the country heads toward general elections in August 2027.​ Musonye noted that past polls in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda have been marked by volatility and violence, raising concerns about guaranteeing security for a major continental competition. He argued that hosting AFCON during such a period could expose fans and teams to unnecessary risks.​ His comments came after a report in the UK’s Guardian newspaper suggested AFCON 2027, due to be co hosted by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, might be delayed because the three countries are not yet ready. A Confederation of African Football inspection team is […]

NDC Kpandai Leadership Disowns Protest After Supreme Court Quashes Rerun Elections

The Constituency Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Kpandai, Nyong Robert Saparku, has formally distanced the party’s local leadership from a recent demonstration staged by some party supporters following the Supreme Court’s decision to quash the rerun elections in the constituency. Speaking in an interview with Adom News and through an official statement, Mr. Saparku clarified that the protest was neither organised nor sanctioned by the recognized constituency executives of the NDC. According to him, the party operates under a clearly defined leadership structure at the constituency level, and any political action taken outside that framework cannot be attributed to the party. “The leadership of the National Democratic Congress in Kpandai wishes to state, for the record, that the party has a recognized leadership structure at the constituency level, and this must be respected at all times,” he […]

Kwabena Agyepong Criticises Clergy Prophecies in NPP Primaries

New Patriotic Party presidential aspirant, Ing. Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, has sharply criticised religious leaders who publicly predict outcomes of the party’s presidential primaries, describing their actions as inappropriate and misplaced. Speaking to JoyNews, Agyepong questioned why pastors and prophets are increasingly inserting themselves into partisan political contests, particularly through prophetic declarations about election winners. “They are supposed to be preachers, preaching the gospel. I don’t know what business they have dabbling in politics. I find it very strange,” he said. According to Agyepong, churches are drifting away from their core mission as political discussions creep into religious spaces. He expressed concern that sermons and church gatherings are now being used to debate presidential outcomes rather than spiritual matters. “You go to church and people are now discussing who will be president. Is that the work of a minister?” he asked. […]

Brazil’s Former President Jair Bolsonaro Sent to Prison – Lawyer

Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro, previously under house arrest since August, was transferred to prison on Saturday. His lawyer, Celso Vilardi, confirmed the move but said he was not informed of the specific reasons. Bolsonaro, 70, faces a 27-year sentence for his role in a failed coup attempt in 2022. His legal team had argued for continued house arrest, citing health concerns. The Supreme Court has barred Bolsonaro from contesting future elections. His imprisonment comes as part of a wider crackdown on political unrest and conspiracies in Brazil.

Nigeria and UN Sign Pact to Improve Elections and Stability

Nigeria and the United Nations have signed a new Regional Partnership for Democracy, aimed at strengthening elections, political stability, and democratic institutions in West Africa. The agreement was announced in Abuja, with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, highlighting Nigeria’s commitment to building a stable and people-centered democracy. The partnership is designed to help African nations overcome challenges such as weak institutions, low citizen participation, and political violence. Despite national and regional reforms, issues like flawed elections and unconstitutional government changes continue in several countries. The new pact seeks to address these problems by promoting democracy rooted in African values. Minister Tuggar described the agreement as part of President Bola Tinubu’s vision for boosting democracy on the continent. The Regional Partnership for Democracy Secretariat will operate from Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while a technical team will be based […]

Tanzania Votes as President Samia Suluhu Hassan Heads for Easy Re-Election

Voters across Tanzania are heading to the polls on Wednesday to elect a new president, parliament, and local councillors. But despite the appearance of a competitive race, few doubt the outcome: President Samia Suluhu Hassan is expected to win comfortably, extending the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party’s six-decade hold on power. The CCM—known as the Party of the Revolution—has governed Tanzania uninterrupted for 64 years. And while multiple candidates are listed on the ballot, analysts and rights groups say the field has been heavily tilted in favor of the incumbent. “This election is more of a coronation than a contest,” said political analyst Joseph Mwaipopo. “The opposition has been systematically weakened, leaving voters with little real choice.” Opposition Silenced Before the Vote Human rights organizations have reported widespread intimidation of opposition figures, activists, and journalists ahead of the election.

Ivory Coast Election Tension: Security Forces Flood Abidjan Ahead of Presidential Vote

Abidjan, Ivory Coast In the working-class neighborhood of Yopougon, the familiar aroma of grilled chicken and fish still fills the air at the busy Sapeurs-Pompiers crossroad. Food vendors shout over each other to attract customers, and the smoky scent of street grills drifts through the humid evening. But the usual crowds that stay out late are thinning earlier than usual. As night falls, residents hurry home, uneasy about potential election-related violence. Two police trucks remain stationed at the intersection, part of the heavy security presence that now defines daily life in the city. Since October 10, when campaigning began for this weekend’s presidential polls, these vehicles have become a permanent fixture in the area. The Ivorian government has deployed about 44,000 police and soldiers across the country, saying the measure is meant to guarantee a safe and peaceful election. Yet […]

US pushes plan to disarm Hamas and rebuild Gaza

An Ivory Coast court has sentenced 32 people to three years in prison for taking part in banned protests held earlier this month, just days before the country’s presidential election. The verdict was delivered on Tuesday, four days before the vote, as tensions rise between the government and opposition supporters. The protests were organized after opposition leaders Laurent Gbagbo and Tidjane Thiam were barred from running against President Alassane Ouattara, who is seeking a fourth term at age 83. The defendants were convicted of “disturbing public order” and “assembling on public roadways.” Last week, about 30 other protesters received similar sentences. Authorities have banned all demonstrations, citing threats to public safety. Public prosecutor Oumar Braman Kone said some protests amounted to “acts of terrorism” and argued that “the freedom to demonstrate cannot be confused with disorder.” Defence lawyers argued there […]

UNYF Urges INEC Chair to Remove Barriers to PVC Collection

The Unified Nigeria Youth Forum (UNYF) has urged the newly appointed Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan, to prioritise accessibility, transparency, and accountability in managing Nigeria’s electoral process. In a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja, the Forum’s National President, Comrade Toriah Olajide Filani, said the credibility of future elections depends largely on how inclusive and accessible voter registration and Permanent Voter Card (PVC) collection become under the new leadership. Filani expressed concern that millions of eligible Nigerians remain unable to obtain their PVCs due to administrative bottlenecks and limited access to registration centres, especially in rural areas. “Despite the introduction of digital systems, many citizens lack internet access or the infrastructure to benefit,” he said. “In Lagos, for example, people queue as early as 2:00 a.m. just to register, yet many still leave […]
