Comelec: Lacson remains Partido Reporma prexy bet despite resignation
Comelec says Senator Panfilo Lacson remains the presidential candidate of Partido Reporma despite his resignation from the party.
The poll body recognizes what was declared on a candidate's certificate of candidacy when it was filed, and since Lacson filed under Partido Reporma, that is still recognized by Comelec.
Comelec Commissioner George Garcia stated that any changes in affiliation after the filing period do not affect the candidate’s status as per their COC.
