With Sara's trial ahead, 9 House impeachment prosecutors win reelection
The prosecution team for the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte is facing changes as two members have lost their congressional bids.
General Santos Rep. Loreto Acharon and Ako Bicol Rep. Angelo Bongalon will not return to the House of Representatives after failing to secure enough votes in the recent elections.
This development is seen as a potential challenge for House prosecutors and Marcos-aligned senators in convicting the Vice President.
The new article notes that only two appointed impeachment prosecutors will have to leave their seats in Congress.
This contrasts with the initial uncertainty surrounding the return of 1-Rider Rep. Ramon Gutierrez to the House.
