Vice President Sara Duterte remains the top choice for the 2028 presidential election in the latest WR Numero Research survey. Her preference rating climbed to 42.4 percent in October, according to the survey. The poll also shows her brother, Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte, as the leading alternative candidate should she be unable to run.
The survey highlights the continued political influence of the Duterte family in Philippine politics. Sara Duterte's strong showing reflects her established political base and public recognition. Sebastian Duterte, as mayor of Davao City, also maintains a significant following, indicating a potential shift in political dynamics if Sara Duterte steps down.
This development comes amid ongoing discussions about the future of the Duterte administration. Sara Duterte's leadership in the polls underscores her role as a key political figure. Meanwhile, Sebastian Duterte's position as an alternative candidate suggests a family-driven political strategy. The results reflect both personal and political factors shaping the 2028 race.
