History
In the height of the election fever in Zamboanga City, two parties poised as the main contenders in the incoming local elections:
Many speculated that incumbent District II Representative Erico Basilio Fabian will run for the mayorship in the next elections under the banner of the LP-LDP-AZAP Coalition. But the party endorsed, with the initiative of Mayor Lobregat, incumbent District I Representative Beng Climaco for the mayorship.
Felt being junked by his former partymates in Lobregat's camp, Fabian decided to run against Climaco-Salazar under the banner of a new party, the Fuerza Zamboanga. Lobregat denied Fabian's allegations citing that Fabian confirmed that he will not run for a new post and consider retirement.
