FORMER Bayan Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares will run for senator in the 2022 elections.

'The officers, leaders of Makabayan have decided that I will run,' Colmenares told ANC's 'Rundown'.

He said, 'I will run for a Senate seat in 2022 if only to deliver the sharpest message of critique to the candidate of President [Rodrigo] Duterte.'

Colmenares, a lawyer, ran for senator in 2016 and in 2019.

He is the chairman of Bayan Muna.
