Onse Alyansa? Imee Marcos exits admin Senate slate
Source: news.source.rappler
Senator Imee Marcos has withdrawn from her brother President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas slate for the 2025 Philippine senatorial election. The decision follows her exclusion from a recent Alyansa sortie and her disagreement with the administration's handling of former President Rodrigo Duterte's arrest. Marcos criticized the administration for allegedly obscuring the truth and undermining national sovereignty. Despite previous withdrawals, she had continued to campaign with the coalition until now. Her exit raises questions about her potential alignment with Duterte's slate and reflects her ongoing struggle to balance her political identity between the Marcos and Duterte factions. Marcos has also been struggling in recent senatorial preference surveys.
