A NEWLY formed opposition coalition that fielded its 2022 presidential and vice presidential bets at the weekend may not be strong enough to defeat administration candidates especially after some of its nominees declined to become part of the group, political analysts said.
“It only confirms what we have known for quite a long time — that 1Sambayan is quite a weak opposition coalition,” said Cleve Kevin Robert V. Arguelles, a lecturer at De La Salle University’s Political Science department.
Shortly after the coalition’s announcement, Senator Grace Poe-Llamanzares and Batangas Rep. Vilma Santos-Recto turned down their nominations.
