Robredo to run for Naga City mayor, not senator

Updated Sat, June 22, 2024 at 2:54 PM Published Thu, June 20, 2024 at 3:17 PM

Former Vice President Leni Robredo has announced she will not be running for senator in the 2025 elections.

She has informed the Liberal Party of her decision and stated her preference is to run for mayor of Naga City.

This decision follows her late husband, Jesse Robredo's, legacy as a multi-term mayor of Naga City known for good governance.

A workers' group, the Federation of Free Workers (FFW) Women's Network (FWN), is urging Robredo to reconsider her decision not to run for a national post, believing her leadership is needed at the national level during challenging times.

Robredo, however, has firmly closed the door on a Senate run, stating, "I have shut the door on a 2025 Senate run."
