Eleazar to run for senator in Eleksyon 2022 —Lacson
"Yes, I confirm that he will run under Partido Reporma to substitute for Paolo Capino who has announced his intention to withdraw from the senatorial race yesterday," Lacson said in a message sent to reporters.
GMA News Online contacted Eleazar for comment but has yet to receive a reply as of posting time.
Media practitioner Paolo Capino, who was part of the senatorial slate of Lacson and vice presidential aspirant and Senate President Vicente Sotto III, on Friday announced his withdrawal from the Eleksyon 2022 senatorial race.
In a series of tweets, Capino said his chances of winning in next year's elections are "slim to none."
"I am officially announcing my withdrawal from the Senate race. The last survey which included my name in it, means my chances of winning are slim to none," Capino said.
"I recognize the need to further introduce myself and my advocacies," he added.
The Commission on Elections said it has designated a receiving area at the lobby of the Palacio del Gobernador in Intramuros, Manila for Eleksyon 2022 aspirants applying for substitution and withdrawals until November 15.
