Trump asks Supreme Court to block 20,000 California ballots before midterms

Donald Trump’s administration asked the Supreme Court on Monday to stop California from counting mail-in ballots from more than 20,000 voters it claims are not US citizens, one day before the midterm elections. The Justice Department wants ballots linked to a Department of Homeland Security list set aside until the voters’ citizenship status is confirmed. California says the list is unreliable and may include thousands of eligible US citizens, while state officials say separating the ballots would be nearly impossible. A federal judge and an appeals court rejected the request; Judge David Carter warned that discounting votes based on unproven allegations would put democracy in danger.

APC seeks to disqualify opposition candidates in Niger

The APC in Niger State has asked the Federal High Court in Minna to declare candidates from the PDP, SDP, NDC and ADC ineligible for the 2027 general elections. It says several candidates, including Mohammed Mamman Nami, Mohammed Ndarani Mohammed and Musa Mamman, left the APC after losing its May 2026 primaries and were absent from the membership registers submitted to INEC by the parties that later nominated them. Citing Section 77 of the Electoral Act 2026 and a September 24 Supreme Court ruling, the APC is challenging INEC’s publication of their names and seeking their removal from the candidates’ list.

Iran pushes to accelerate ceasefire plan with US

Iran is seeking to accelerate its proposed ceasefire plan with the United States as the region braces for a possible resumption of fighting in the US-Israel war against Iran. The seven-step proposal, put forward last month, remains unchanged but could be implemented within two days instead of seven, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said. It calls for the swift reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and renewed talks on Iran’s nuclear programme. Tehran is also negotiating with Qatari mediators, while Donald Trump has raised the possibility of striking Iran after the November 3 US midterm elections.
