Quiboloy to run as independent in 2025 polls
The Philippine Star
|October 22, 2024
Detained pastor Apollo Quiboloy will run as an independent senatorial candidate in the May 2025 mid-term elections after revoking his "acceptance" of the Workers and Peasants Party (WPP)'s nomination.
"Given the ongoing party dispute, I am revoking my acceptance as a nominee of WPP," Quiboloy said in his letter to Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman George Garcia.
Quiboloy is capable of mounting a national campaign without a political party backing him, according to his legal counsel Mark Tolentino.
The Comelec listed Quiboloy among 66 legitimate senatorial candidates even after the WPP disowned his party membership.
