SUSUPORTAHAN ng Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (CMD) si Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte sa sandaling magdesisyon itong sumabak sa 2022 presidential elections.
Ito ay ayon kay House Majority Leader Martin Romualdez, pangulo ng Lakas-CMD, na pinangungunahan naman ni dating Pangulong Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
Gayunman, nagpahayag ang anak ng Pangulo na rerespetuhin ng partido ang anumang desisyon ang gagawin niya tungkol sa nasabing isyu.
“I am aware that the officers of Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP) are in talks with several highly-placed national officials regarding the 2022 elections.
“I am not privy to these discussions, but I was told that the meetings are about my candidacy for the Presidential race in 2022. I was assured that everyone involved in these talks will respect my decision if I decide against running for President.
“I would like to express my gratitude to Lakas CMD for the unconditional support,” ayon kay Duterte.
