Comelec-Cebu says no ground to hold special poll in Cordova
Incumbent Cordova Mayor Mary Therese Sitoy-Cho is filing an election protest with the Comelec after losing her re-election bid to Didoy Suan by 4,170 votes.
Sitoy-Cho alleges that irregularities occurred during the election, including vote-buying and issues with voter registration lists.
A motion to disqualify Suan for alleged vote-buying was filed prior to his proclamation.
However, the provincial Comelec office in Cebu has stated that the elections in Cordova were peaceful and orderly, and found no grounds to hold a special election.
While some vote-counting machines malfunctioned, these issues were addressed and did not prevent voters from casting their ballots, according to the Comelec.
