Candidates aligned with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. are set to sweep the Senate elections in May, according to a new public opinion survey.
The survey, published yesterday by the local pollster Social Weather Stations (SWS), shows that nine of the 12 senatorial candidates endorsed by Marcos, Jr. are among the 13 candidates with the most support ahead of the May 12 election. Two of the 13 are allies of the Philippine leader’s predecessor and bitter rival, Rodrigo Duterte, and the remaining two are independents.
In line with the nationwide Senate election process, SWS asked respondents to select their 12 most preferred candidates for the Philippine upper house. (While there are only 12 Senate seats up for grabs, the 11th, 12th, and 13th-ranked candidates were tied in the support they received from survey respondents.)
