Incumbent Vice Governor Katherine Agapay also announced her intention to run for Governor.[3] Incumbent Representative Dan Fernandez also intends to seek the governorship.[4][better source needed] On the same day, incumbent Representative Ruth Hernandez, wife of Governor Hernandez, announced in an interview with Laguna Patrol that she would be running to succeed her husband.[5][better source needed] This fueled further speculation of a potential rift between the Governor Hernandez and Vice Governor Agapay.[6][better source needed] A month later, at a campaign event for the newly-founded Akay National Political Party, former Representative Sol Aragones announced that she will also be running for Governor.[7][8][9][better source needed]
