DAVAO City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio has finally made her decision and this is to run for Vice President in the 2022 national and local elections.

Mayor Sara is running under the Lakas-CMD and substituting candidate Lyle Uy.

At 1:45 p.m. on November 13, Mayor Sara, through her lawyer Atty. Reynold Munsayac filed her certificate of candidacy after Uy withdrew his CoC.

“This is to confirm that Mayor Inday Sara, through her representative, has filed her CoC for Vice President under Lakas-CMD. Mayor Sara will be releasing an official statement shortly,” Frasco said.

Meanwhile, the Lakas-CMD has not yet confirmed reports that there will be an alliance with former Senator Bongbong Marcos’ Partido Federal ng Pilipinas.

Days before her official entry to the vice presidential race, Mayor Sara backed out from her reelection bid and was replaced by her youngest brother, Vice Mayor Baste Duterte.

The presidential daughter also resigned from Hugpong ng Pagbabago, a regional party which she and other influential politicians from Davao Region has created.

Mayor Sara then took her oath as member of Lakas-CMD.
