Lakas-CMD has formally adopted presidential aspirant Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. as its president for the 2022 national elections.
Marcos, standard bearer of the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP), will also be the running mate of Lakad-CMD chairperson and vice presidential aspirant Sara Duterte.
"Resolved, as it is hereby resolved, that presidential candidate senator Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos, Jr. is hereby unanimously adopted as the candidate for president of Lakas-CMD and running mate of vice-presidential candidate of Lakas-CMD, Mayor Sara Zimmerman Duterte," the Lakas-CMD's resolution read.
In a virtual meeting, Duterte said that she informed Marcos of their meeting, who expressed his gratitude for being adopted by the party.
"Bongbong Marcos extends his profound gratitude for his adoption as the presidential candidate of Lakas-CMD," she said, adding that the PFP standard-bearer told her that he is "willing to work with Lakas-CMD party."
The Lakas-CMD chairperson then went on to encourage its members to invite more people to join the alliance.
"Hopefully, we will be able to invite more parties in the coming days to sign up in the uni team alliance for the 2022 elections," she said.
"I know you have many friends outside of Lakas-CMD and I hope you will take time out to talk to them and invite them to join the Lakas-CMD, PFP uni team alliance for the May 2022 elections."
