Nograles: PDP-Laban members naturally inclined to back Sara Duterte in Eleksyon 2022
The PDP-Laban party can support Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio for the 2022 presidential elections even if she is not a party member, according to Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles.
Nograles stated that it is not uncommon for political parties to endorse candidates from other affiliations.
He clarified that Mayor Duterte-Carpio would not be required to join PDP-Laban to receive the party's support.
This statement follows PDP-Laban's earlier resolution urging President Duterte to run for vice president, a tandem his daughter has publicly stated will not happen in 2022.
While the party chairperson, President Duterte, can recommend a presidential candidate, the final decision will be made through established party procedures.
