Will Grace Poe run for president?
On March 8, 2016, Grace was a candidate for the presidential elections. The supreme court decided to allow Grace to run for president and reverse the decision of the COMELEC to disqualify her in the 2016 presidential elections, voting 9-6.
Poe placed 3rd in the presidential election race count. There is the possibility that she will be running again in the next elections.
