Former Vice President Jejomar 'Jojo' Binay is set to run for senator in the 2022 national elections under the United Nationalist Alliance, a party official said Tuesday.

"We welcome and are very grateful for the support extended to the former vice president by other political parties, and for him being invited to be part of their senatorial slate,” former congressman JV Bautista, acting UNA secretary-general, said in a statement.

“At the moment, nothing has been finalized yet and UNA is still in talks with other organizations/political groups and is in the process of adopting senatorial candidates from these parties who share UNA’s vision and platform of government,” he continued.
