Quezon Governor Danilo Suarez, veteran politician and former House minority leader, looks poised to lose his reelection bid to Helen Tan, a medical doctor and incumbent representative of the 4^th District.

Based on partial and unofficial results aggregated from Comelec data as of 8 pm Tuesday, May 10, Tan received an overwhelming 789,982 votes while Suarez received 320,155 votes. Quezon has a voting population of 1,424,023.

Tan served as representative of the 4^th District of Quezon for three terms and is chairperson of the committee on health of the 18^th Congress. She will be replaced by her son, lawyer Mike Tan, who won with 166,591 votes.

Tan posted a message on her Facebook page:

Suarez’s wife, Aleta, also lost her re-election bid in Quezon’s third congressional district, but his son, David, whom he succeeded as governor, won the congressional race in the second district, beating former Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala. – Rappler.com
