Comelec says nominees of PL not required to attend proclamation
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is eyeing the proclamation of winning party-list groups on May 25, following the special elections in Lanao del Sur on May 24.
Comelec acting spokesperson John Rex Laudiangco stated that the votes from Lanao del Sur and Shanghai, China, are material to the computation of winners and will affect the ranking.
Therefore, a partial proclamation on May 19 did not proceed, and the Comelec will wait for these results before proclaiming all 63 winning party-list seats.
Laudiangco also clarified that nominees of the winning party-list groups are not required to personally attend the proclamation, only to be members or representatives of the groups.
