Sara Duterte making late entry into 2022 presidential race a ‘strong possibility’ — Fitch Solutions
Fitch Solutions suggests that Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio might still be able to join the 2022 presidential race through a loophole, despite missing the initial filing deadline.
Duterte-Carpio initially filed her certificate of candidacy for reelection as mayor of Davao City.
A substitution for a presidential candidate is possible before the end of the year, as experienced by President Rodrigo Duterte himself in 2016.
Fitch Solutions anticipates further political developments and shifts in alliances before the year concludes.
The ruling party PDP-Laban is currently facing internal disputes, with one faction backing former police chief Ronald Dela Rosa for president.
