The Philippines' mid-term elections serve as a crucial test for President Ferdinand Marcos and impeached Vice President Sara Duterte, with implications for significant political offices. Over 18,000 positions are up for grabs, including key senate seats that will influence Duterte's potential impeachment outcome. The relationship between Marcos and Duterte has soured notably after an impeachment scandal involving her highly publicized corruption allegations, coinciding with the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte. Observers anticipate voter turnout will reflect national sentiment towards the political tensions within the current administration.
The votes will decide over 18,000 jobs in the country ranging from mayors, governors, and seats in the House of Representatives who will serve the 110 million-strong Philippines.
A month later, Duterte's father and former president Rodrigo Duterte, was arrested and flown to the International Criminal Court (ICC) to answer for alleged crimes against humanity.
