Comelec urged to proclaim winning party-list reps

Published by rudy Date posted on May 25, 2010

A coalition of party-list groups asked Tuesday the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to proclaim all the winning party-list candidates by Friday instead of only a few leading party-list representatives in the race.

The Party-List Alliance — a coalition of leading party list groups — welcomed the poll body’s decision to proclaim the winners, saying that the voters deserve and expect a quick proclamation due to the automated elections.

“It has been more than two weeks since the election and the 12 senators have already been proclaimed. It’s time for Comelec to proclaim all the winners,” the group said.

The group is composed of the following party-list organizations: AKO Bikol, Senior Citizens, Abs, Tucp, Coop-Natcco, Diwa, Kakusa, Alif, Alagad, Ave, Anad, Agap, Butil, and Abono.

In a resolution, the Party-List Alliance cited Canvass Report No. 8 which represents more than 96 percent of the total party-list votes cast.

“The Comelec, acting as National Board of Canvassers, can already proclaim the rightful winners in the party-list system considering that the would-be votes in Lanao del Sur can no longer alter the firm ranking established.” (Raymund F. Antonio)
