Key FactsSteve Kerr jokes about Trump’s $5,000 election pledge

Democrats swept Tuesday’s midterm elections, taking control of both the House and Senate.

At a Wednesday press conference, Kerr joked that he was disappointed not to receive the $5,000 check.

Trump had promised every American adult $5,000 if Republicans prevailed in the midterms.

In 2024, Kerr publicly endorsed Kamala Harris and expressed disappointment when Trump was reelected.

“I’m disappointed because I was looking forward to that $5,000 check that we were all going to get.”— Steve Kerr said this at a press conference on Wednesday, referring to Donald Trump’s promise to pay every American adult $5,000 if Republicans won the midterms.

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: citizen.co.za

Former secretary-general Sibonelo Nomvalo alleged that candidate lists were tightly controlled and inadequately vetted; Zuma rejected concerns of internal chaos.

Zuma described reshuffles as part of Jacob Zuma’s leadership policy and said the practice would continue if the party got a chance to govern.

MK is seeking outright majorities, especially in eThekwini, and is willing to negotiate with like-minded parties if coalitions prove necessary.

Zuma stressed that elected seats belonged to the party, not individuals; representatives unable to perform would not keep their posts.

The seat of power is an MK party seat, not an individual’s seat.
— MK party Deputy President Duduzane Zuma said this about elected posts, arguing that they belong to the party rather than to individuals.

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: bbc.com

The channel, led by Congressman André Janones, rapidly grew to 10.8 million followers between the two rounds.

Posts provided shareable templates and specific tasks, including spreading videos, promoting hashtags and recruiting new voters.

On the eve of the election, Janones hosted a 24-hour livestream, although polls still suggested a Bolsonaro victory.

Political scientists said the direct effect on votes could not be determined and noted Lula combined digital and grassroots mobilisation.

We are going to give people a greater say in decision-making, and digital communication will play a much bigger role in my government.
— Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said this in his victory speech after the election, as he reflected on lessons from the campaign.

Vucic said preliminary results indicated 135–140 seats for Student List and 105 for his alliance.

Turnout was recorded at nearly 70 per cent, the highest since Yugoslavia’s breakup in 1992.

The protests began after a concrete canopy collapsed at Novi Sad’s railway station in 2024, killing 16 young people.

The movement’s agenda includes tackling corruption and improving education, but it remains unclear who will become prime minister.

“Tonight the voice of the people is being heard. Tonight we celebrate victory, tomorrow we build the future.”— Radomir Sajcic, a professor at Belgrade University, speaking on behalf of the students at their headquarters.

UPDATE | IEC says ConCourt’s ruling on missing ANC candidates will apply to all parties

Key FactsIEC announces plans to include 32 parties

Oct 16, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: news24.com

The Constitutional Court ordered the IEC to include 181 ANC candidates across six municipalities on the ballots.

The IEC said 32 similarly affected parties should also be included, while 13 parties failed to meet additional requirements.

About 33 million ballots are needed for the expansion; 6.6 million of them had not yet been printed.

The IEC plans to contact the 32 parties and, if they confirm participation, allow candidate names to be added or replaced.

Consistent with the constitutional imperative for free and fair elections as well as the importance of upholding the inherent principle of parity of treatment, the commission has resolved that the 32 similarly situated parties must be deemed to have lawfully submitted their candidates.
— Said by IEC chair Mosotho Moepya at the IEC's Centurion headquarters, addressing the media, Friday.
