Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's daughter will run for president in the 2022 election and her father's long-time aide will be her running mate, ABS-CBN news reported.
Manila - Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's daughter will run for president in the 2022 election and her father's long-time aide, who has filed his vice presidential candidacy, will be her running mate, ABS-CBN news reported late on Saturday.
In the same clip, Duterte was asked when his daughter would file her candidacy for president, he said:"I really do not know. I do not have any idea at all". Retired political science professor Temario Rivera said while Duterte's daughter is winnable, the same could not be said about Go who has no political base, thus making a Duterte-Carpio-Go ticket"weak".
Duterte, 76, said on Saturday he was retiring from politics, a surprise move that fuelled speculation he was clearing the way for a presidential run by his daughter.
