Mayor Inday Sara Duterte officially withdrew her candidacy for mayor of Davao City. The announcement was released on Inday Sara's official fanpage where she said that her brother Davao City Vice Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte will be her substitution.
It will be recalled that VM Baste also recently withdrew his candidacy as vice mayor to make way for presidential legal counsel Melchor Quitain.
“Ngayong hapon wini-withdraw ko ang akong kandidatura sa pagka-Mayor ng Davao City. Si VM Baste ang papalit sa akin. Si Atty. Melchor Quitain ang nominado namin sa pagka-Bise Alkalde. Ito lamang po muna. Maraming salamat po.” said Mayor Inday Sara.
Photos shared by Inday Sara's camp show the cancellation of her candidacy as mayor of Davao City.
It is rumored that Inday Sara will run for a higher position and it is possible that she will be in tandem with former senator Bongbong Marcos who is running for the presidency. But Inday Sara has some allies that prefers her to run for the highest position in government to follow in her father’s footsteps.
It is not yet known what Inday Sara's next steps will be now that she has withdrawn from her candidacy in Davao City.
So far, Malacanang has not given an opinion on the decision made by Inday Sara.
