New Yorkers Vote in High-Stakes Mayoral Race Featuring Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo

Polling stations have opened across New York City for one of the most closely watched elections in the United States — the city’s mayoral race. Voters on Saturday are choosing among Democrat Zohran Mamdani, Republican Curtis Sliwa, and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an independent. Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, though still listed on the ballot, withdrew from the race last month and has since endorsed Cuomo. Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist and New York State Assembly member, has surged ahead in recent polls by energizing progressive voters. His campaign centers on promises of free universal child care, fare-free buses, and a rent freeze for residents of the city’s roughly one million rent-regulated apartments. Cuomo, meanwhile, has launched sharp attacks against Mamdani, focusing on the candidate’s criticism of Israel. Mamdani has accused Israel of committing genocide in […]

Madagascar Revokes Ousted President’s Citizenship

Madagascar's new government has officially stripped former President Andry Rajoelina of his Malagasy nationality. The decree was published in the official gazette just ten days after Rajoelina was removed from power in a military takeover. The decision effectively bars him from contesting any future elections in the country. The government's order cites a national law which states that any Malagasy citizen who voluntarily acquires foreign citizenship automatically loses their original nationality. Reports confirm that Rajoelina acquired French citizenship in 2014. This French citizenship had previously caused a political scandal when it was revealed ahead of the 2023 presidential election. Despite calls for his disqualification at the time, Rajoelina won the contested poll, which was boycotted by the opposition. Rajoelina was impeached on October 14 after fleeing the country amidst widespread, youth-led protests. The army unit tasked with suppressing the demonstrations, […]

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 […]

 National Assembly Pushes for Timely Constitution Review

The National Assembly has reaffirmed its commitment to a timely and people-centered review of the 1999 Constitution. Speaking at a joint retreat in Lagos, the Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin, urged lawmakers to work towards transmitting the first set of amendments to State Houses of Assembly before the end of the year. The retreat is focused on a clause-by-clause review of a massive number of proposals. These include 69 amendment bills, 55 requests for new states, and 278 requests for the creation of new local governments. Senator Jibrin emphasized that the process, which involved two years of public consultations, must be approached with patriotism and a focus on the shared national interest, setting aside political or regional differences.

Elikem Kotoko Wants Akufo-Addo Prosecuted Over National Cathedral ‘Organised Crime’ Allegations

Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Forestry Commission, Elikem Kotoko, says he would welcome the sight of former President Nana Akufo-Addo being “hauled to court” over what he describes as financial irregularities and organised corruption linked to the construction of the National Cathedral. Speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show, Kotoko accused the former president of masterminding what he called “an organised crime unit set up to siphon or launder state funds” under the guise of a religious project. “Let me be frank with you, if wishes were horses, I would be happy to see even former president Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo being hauled to court to answer for that hole he dug, which seems to be an organised crime unit that he set up to siphon or launder state funds,” he said. Kotoko drew a sharp contrast between Akufo-Addo’s actions and […]

Minority Yet to Decide on Vetting of Acting Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie

The Minority in Parliament says it has not yet decided whether to participate in the vetting of Acting Chief Justice, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, amid ongoing controversy over the removal of former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo. Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin stated that his caucus is “keeping all options open” as it closely observes developments related to what he described as serious procedural breaches by the Justice Pwamang Committee, which recommended Justice Torkornoo’s removal. “To deal with the issue of the CJ’s removal, whether or not we are going to participate in any process — for us, all cards are on the table,” Afenyo-Markin said. He accused the committee of undermining due process and delivering what he called “a travesty of justice.” “What that committee has done — the purported recommendation — should prick their own conscience, all the committee members,” he […]

 Bolivia Elects New President to Tackle Worst Economic Crisis

Bolivians have elected center-right economist Rodrigo Paz as their new president to lead the country through its worst economic crisis in 40 years. Paz, who will take office on November 8, faces major challenges, including 23% inflation, a severe shortage of US dollars, and chronic fuel shortages. His plan involves slashing public spending and moving away from two decades of socialist policies. However, economists warn that these tough measures could risk triggering social unrest in a country that remains deeply divided. The new president will also have to navigate a fragmented parliament, where his party lacks an outright majority, forcing him to build consensus to govern effectively. Despite being barred from the election, former socialist president Evo Morales remains a influential and potentially destabilizing figure. His supporters have warned they will mobilize against the new government if it fails to […]

Army Colonel Sworn In as Madagascar President After Military Takeover

An army colonel, Michael Randrianirina, has been sworn in as the new president of Madagascar. This follows a military takeover that forced former president Andry Rajoelina to flee the country. The swearing-in ceremony took place in the capital, Antananarivo, just days after Colonel Randrianirina's army unit mutinied and sided with anti-government protesters. The constitutional court then impeached Rajoelina for "desertion of duty." In his speech, the new president called the event a "historic turning point" and promised to break from the past. He pledged to draft a new constitution and hold elections within 18 to 24 months. He insisted the country would not be run by a military regime but by a civilian government. Randrianirina has denied that the takeover was a coup, pointing to the court's backing. He stated the army intervened to "avoid anarchy and disorder," thanking the […]

 Morocco Student Gets One-Year Jail Term for Protest Role

A Moroccan student has been sentenced to one year in prison for his involvement in the recent youth-led protests, marking the first known jail term linked to the demonstrations. The student was convicted on charges of participating in an unauthorized gathering and insulting judicial police by providing false information. His lawyer has denounced the ruling as "unfair" and plans to appeal. The protests, organized by the anonymous "GenZ 212" collective, began in late September. They were initially sparked by the deaths of eight pregnant women at a hospital but have since expanded to demand broader social and political reforms. Human rights groups report that approximately 550 people are facing prosecution in connection with the protests, with many still in detention.
