Pro-federation candidate Tufan Erhürman wins Northern Cyprus presidential election with overwhelming majority

Written by Democracia Participativa on 20 October 2025. Posted in Headlines.

The elected President advocates a unified Cyprus under United Nations supervision to establish a federated bi-communal republic with the Greek Cypriots

Nicosia, Oct. 19.– Casting his vote earlier, Tufan Erhürman, leader of the Republican Turkish Party (CTP), said, "This election is about our children. That’s the consciousness we’ve acted with. The decision made here will impact our future." He secured a decisive victory in the presidential elections of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), by a wide margin according to preliminary results announced by the Supreme Election Board.

Voter turnout stood at 62.83% in the election, which featured seven candidates, including five independents.  As of 7:40 p.m. local time (GMT+3), results from 753 of the 777 ballot boxes had been counted. Erhürman achieved 62.80% of the vote, while incumbent President Ersin Tatar, who ran as an independent candidate, garnered 35.77%. The remaining votes were distributed among five other candidates, including independents. Voter turnout stood at 62.83%.

Under Northern Cyprus’s electoral system, a candidate who obtains 50% plus one vote in the first round is declared the winner, meaning Erhürman’s victory is secured without the need for a runoff.

Manila, Oct. 19.– The Philippine economy must prepare for potential disruptions from political instability and intensifying natural hazards that could undermine growth amid persistent inflation and global uncertainty, a study by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) warned.

In its report titled “Macroeconomic Prospects of the Philippines in 2024-2025: Toward Upper Middle-Income Status,” authors John Paolo Rivera, Mark Gerald Ruiz, and Ramona Maria Miral said political uncertainties may result in policy shifts, delayed reforms, and reduced investor confidence.

Ceasefire Agreement on the Implementation of a 'Comprehensive End of Gaza War' signed today

Written by Democracia Participativa on 13 October 2025. Posted in Headlines.

Gaza cease fire summit Oct.2025

Sharm el-Sheikh, Oct. 13 (DPnet).– The ceasefire agreement for Gaza was signed today in Sharm el-Sheikh by the main mediating powers: the United States, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey. A wider summit, co-chaired by U.S. President Donald Trump and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, included leaders from around 30 countries as witnesses in support of the deal.

"At long last, we have peace in the Middle East," Trump declared on stage, flanked by 20 of some 35 world leaders he invited. "After years of suffering and bloodshed, the war in Gaza is over, humanitarian aid is now pouring in, including hundreds of truckloads of food, medical equipment and other supplies, much of it paid for by people in this room," Trump said, echoing earlier remarks to the press about the importance of acknowledging "some of the richest countries" in attendance that will be picking up the tab on Gaza's reconstruction.

The agreement previously signed by Israeli and HAMAS representatives detailed six stages to the deal, beginning with US President Donald Trump's announcement that the war in Gaza had ended and that "the parties have agreed to implement the necessary steps to that end."

The second step states that "the war will immediately end upon the approval of the Israeli government." The Israeli government approved the first phase of the deal on Thursday.
