Ang INC maoy gipasidunggan ni kanhi presidente Joseph Estrada nga responsable sa iyang pagdaog sa piniliay’ng presidensiyal niadtong 1998. Sila sab ang gituohan nga nakapadaog sa kasagaran sa mga senador ug mga kongresista sa nangaging mga piniliay.

Apan nauwawan ang INC sa ilang kapakyas pagdupa sa ilang sakop nga si kanhi Chief Justice Renato Corona kinsa gi-impeach sa House of Representatives ug gikonbikto ug gipalagpot sa katungdanan sa Senado. Gidudahan sang ilang katakos pagpadaog og lokal nga mga politiko. Pananglitan sa piniliay pagka mayor sa Dakbayan sa Sugbo niadtong 2001, si kanhi mayor Alvin Garcia ang gipaluyohan sa INC apan si kanhi mayor Tommy Osmeña maoy nidaog.

duda ko nga all sound and fury signifying nothing ra nang ilang claims of political clout. so when would news releases ever help demystify it by taking out adjectives like "influential" and "bloc voters" out? that way, this church would stop forcing unqualified church members to government posts.

in the late 1980s, while still in the afterglow of the edsa revolution, then mayor osmeña had a real public fight with an INC minister who took to insulting sto. niño processions ("bato ra nang inyong gipangadyean" or something, the loudspeakers blared outside their church, the person speaking well-hidden inside, protected by a high cement fence) and sinulog street dance as these passed (bottles were thrown out of the INC compound) along the main thoroughfare of gen. maxilom ave. where their church is.

mayor osmeña took the church on and challenged the minister, which became media fodder for weeks. yet osmeña kept on winning. the minister was transferred somewhere else. talk of political clout...
