Former Vice President and incumbent Naga City Mayor Leni Robredo has announced that she will not seek a seat in the 2028 national elections. 

In a radio interview, she confirmed that she is sure about her decision to decline to run in national polls and will focus on preparing to run for her second term as mayor.

Following the announcement, Senator Kiko Pangilinan stated in his Facebook post that he noted that Robredo can “build the broadest and strongest unity” not only within the Liberal Party and its allies but also among other groups intending to join the national elections.

“I believe that Leni is in the best position to build the broadest and strongest unity not just amongst the ranks of the Liberal Party and our allies but to include all other groups and personalities outside our allied forces who are also looking to participating in the 2028 Presidential elections,” he said
