Former Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte has won the mayorship of the city of Davao, despite being in detention thousands of miles away in The Hague for alleged crimes against humanity, according to preliminary results.
After 80 per cent of the votes were counted, an unofficial and partial tally showed Mr Duterte, 80, won 537,775 votes, 53 per cent of the total votes cast as of 8am local time on Tuesday.
