Sara Duterte prays there will be presidential election in 2028

Vice President Sara Duterte has expressed hope that there will be a presidential election in 2028 and it will be conducted in an honest, orderly, and peaceful manner.

In an interview in The Hague, Netherlands on Monday, Duterte said she is already a “presumptive candidate” for the next presidential race after declaring her intention to run.

“I'm already a presumptive candidate because I declared my intention to run for the next presidential elections,” Duterte said.

“We can only pray that there will be a presidential election in 2028 and it will be honest, orderly, and peaceful,” she added.

She made the statement when asked if she is ready to be the next president.

In February, Duterte announced that she will run for president in the 2028 national elections.

Senator Raffy Tulfo tied Duterte at 46 percentage points in a Pulse Asia presidential preference poll that pitted the two officials against each other from February 27 to March 2.

Results of a similar question that matched Duterte with Naga City Mayor Leni Robredo showed the Vice President leading her predecessor, 51 to 43. —AOL, GMA News
