Imee Marcos gives ‘50-50’ chance on Senate bid in 2019, says brother’s electoral protest taking ‘forever’

ILOCOS Norte Gov. Imee Marcos said there was a “50-50 chance” that she would run for the Senate in 2019, as a possible substitute for brother Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos whose electoral protest on the results of the 2016 vice presidential race was taking “forever.”

“Napag-usapan na ito sa pamilya namin dahil itong protesta ni Bongbong is taking forever. Maaaring iba na lang ang tatakbo sa national office dahil ayaw na rin niyang iabandona ang kanyang protesta,” Marcos told reporters at the Pandesal Forum in Quezon City on Wednesday.
