2027: APM in coalition talks, says Daura

Lawal Daura, the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) vice-presidential candidate, says the party is involved in coalition talks ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections. Speaking on Channels Television, he called for an inclusive national “reset” to break cycles of political stagnation and rejected winner-takes-all governance. The former Director-General of the DSS said he entered politics to contribute to Nigeria’s development and chose the APM after his bid for Katsina State governor through the ADC failed to proceed as hoped.

The WhatsApp ‘general’ behind Lula’s election comeback in Brazil

After Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won Brazil’s presidential runoff on October 25, the president thanked congressman André Janones, calling him “our general.” The 42-year-old lawmaker led an online campaign to rally Lula’s supporters after the president finished behind Flávio Bolsonaro in the first round. Janones’s WhatsApp channel, Exercito do Lula (“Lula’s Army”), grew from about 60,000 followers after the first round to almost 11 million by election day. He had also helped coordinate Lula’s digital campaign in the 2022 runoff against Jair Bolsonaro.

Cameroon: Atanga Nji suspends Tchiroma’s FSNC for three months

Cameroon’s Minister of Territorial Administration, Paul Atanga Nji, signed an order on October 27, 2026, suspending the activities of the Front for the National Salvation of Cameroon (FSNC) nationwide for three months. The order cites five grounds linked to events surrounding the October 12, 2025 presidential election: calls for insurrection, threats to territorial integrity, incitement to violence, serious public disorder, and the statutory leaders’ residence abroad. The party is led by Issa Tchiroma Bakary, who has been in exile in Gambia since November 2025 and continues to contest the election results. The suspension comes as court proceedings are ongoing and convictions have been handed down, including by the Yaoundé Military Tribunal.
