Aldan, a two-term House member, plans to seek re-election in November on the Covenant ticket.
“I am still a Covenant until such time that I declare I am with another party,” he told the Variety.
Aldan was among the two Covenant members who voted in favor of the budget override that allowed the House Republican majority to garner the needed two-thirds or 14 votes to invalidate Gov. Benigno R. Fitial’s veto of the $148 million FY 2009 budget bill.
Rep. Francisco S. Dela Cruz, Saipan-Covenant, was the other House minority member who voted in favor of the override.
“I don’t know how the governor will take this. But we have our responsibilities here in the Legislature that the people demand us to do,” said Aldan.
“I am still Covenant. It’s just that we tend to disagree on issues,” he added.
He expressed hope that the Covenant Party organizes its ticket on Tinian soon.
