参议员埃尔文·图尔福透露，参议院可能在明天形成决定性多数，推选参议员舍温·加查利安为参议院议长。
图尔福表示，目前至少有三位参议员正在被游说脱离参议员阿兰·彼得·卡耶塔诺的派系。除参议员乔尔·维拉纽瓦外，可能还有至少一位男性参议员和一位女性参议员支持加查利安。
“希望大家的祈祷，不仅仅是我们，是为了让这一切结束，这样我们就能恢复正常，”图尔福告诉 DZRH 电台。目前有十一位参议员支持加查利安，其中包括图尔福、维森特·索托三世和丽莎·洪蒂维罗斯。
加查利安在 6 月 3 日当选为参议院临时议长后，一直担任参议院代理议长。竞选正式议长职位需要十三票。马拉卡南宫已召集在 6 月 17 日举行特别会议。
