                    [Summary] => DAVAO CITY — Monday’s elections will perhaps be the first time that this city will see the closest mayoral fight, with first district Rep. Rodrigo Duterte pitted against incumbent Mayor Benjamin de Guzman.


"It will be a very, very close fight between the two. Both candidates used to have the same group of followers," said Antonio Ajero, a political analyst and SunStar Davao editor-in-chief.


Ajero said Davaoeños still cannot categorically say who is leading the mayoral race.

Duterte and De Guzman, at the start of the campaign last month, accused each other of womanizing, and lately, of receiving kickbacks from different projects and programs of the city government.

Duterte and De Guzman used to be formidable allies who have become bitter political foes, and are now calling each other names in their bid to woo the city’s more than 500,000 voters.


Both have accused each other of being Judases for allegedly having betrayed, at times, the trust of their constituents.

Jocelyn told reporters at the Commission on Elections office that her political bid was a "personal decision," explaining that she is also qualified and capable to serve as mayor.
