One of the mayors that instantly made a name in the political arena is Mayor Vico Sotto. A lot of Pasigueños and even those Filipinos who are not his constituents admire the way he leads Pasig City.
Mayor Sotto is currently on his second term as mayor of Pasig City. On his first mayoralty race, his victory ended the decade-long reign of the Eusebios in the city. His victory was tagged as a new face in the political arena.
Last May 2022 Elections, Mayor Sotto was re-elected following a landslide victory against his rival, then Vice Mayor Iyo Bernardo. He ran under Aksyon Demokratiko then and was vocal about distancing from the national elections.
However, for several months now, there are rumors and speculations surrounding the ties of Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto with Aksyon Demokratiko political party. Recently, it was confirmed that the Pasig Mayor is no longer under the said political party.
ABS-CBN News has gotten a copy of the resignation letter of Mayor Sotto which confirmed that he is indeed not anymore under Aksyon Demokratiko. Based on the report, the resignation came months after the May 2022 Elections. He cited political differences as the reasons behind his decision to leave the party.
Mayor Sotto is a former executive vice president of Aksyon. It was in 2018 when he joined the political party and he became a mayor of Pasig City in 2019 under its banner.
Based on the report, the resignation of the Mayor Sotto was “effective immediately”. Meanwhile, he clarified maintaining respect to the leadership and members of Aksyon Demokratiko. According to him, it was because of the said respect that he delayed his resignation from the political party until after May 2022 Elections.
