MAS gusto ng Lakas-CMD na tumakbo sa pagkapangulo ang kanilang bagong miyembro na si Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio.
“Well obviously when Mayor Inday joined the party, these are two options. Whenever you make decision such as this, the candidate has most at stake. We like to support the candidate’s personal decision. We would obviously want to have the highest position but we also respect the prerogative of the candidate,” ayon kay Lakas-CMD president Ferdinand Martin Romualdez.
Inaasahan ni Romualdez na iaanunsyo ni Sara ang kanyang kandidatura bago ang Nobyembre 15.
Samantala, iginiit niya na walang magiging problema kina presidential aspirant Bongbong Marcos at Duterte-Carpio sakaling pareho silang tumakbo sa pagkapangulo.
“I don’t foresee a conflict. Mayor Sara and Senator Bongbong Marcos are good friends. They have been communicating, they have been in dialogue. I don’t foresee them having a conflict therefore I don’t foresee myself getting caught in the middle,” ani Romualdez.
