Davao City Vice Mayor Sebastian "Baste" Duterte is set to take over as acting president of the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban).

Padilla also cited his involvement in the 2025 midterm elections as a reason for stepping down, stating it demanded much of his time and energy.
As the party's Executive Vice President, Duterte will assume the presidency based on the rule of succession in PDP-Laban's constitution.
