Outgoing congressman Edgar Chatto may, after all, keep his throne in the first district within the family.
The newly merged administration party Lakas-CMD-Kampi is eyeing
his wife Pureza as candidate for the first district as the positioning for next year’s elections has to be finalized with the deadline for filing of candidacy on November 30 inches closer.
In the initial meeting of Bohol administration party leaders held in Manila last September 25 with President Arroyo’s political adviser Gabriel Claudio, the “
Pureza for Congressman†idea came up as an option for congressman Chatto if in case his gubernatorial plan changes.
Governor Erico Aumentado, who is the Lakas-CMD-Kampi concurrent party provincial and regional committee chairman said that in the discussions for a mode in the elimination process to select the official candidate for governor, if the outcome tilts in favor of another aspirant, Vice Gov. Julius Herrera, Congressman
Chatto’s wife will be offered the seat to be vacated by her husband.
But if Chatto gets the official nomination, Herrera will likewise have to switch as candidate for congressman in the first district. -
