MANILA, May 31 (Bloomberg): Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s political party has urged him to run for vice president in the 2022 elections, charting a possible path for him to stay in a top government post after his term ends next year.

Duterte’s political party PDP-Laban on Monday passed a resolution that also urges him to choose a presidential candidate, according to the group’s live-streamed assembly. Under Philippine law, a president can only be elected for a single six-year term.
