An Waray party-list has filed a motion for reconsideration on the Commission on Elections (Comelec) Second Division’s cancellation of its registration for allowing a second nominee to sit as a member of Congress without the proper authority in violation of the party-list law.
An Waray party-list has filed a motion for reconsideration on the Commission on Elections Second Division’sfor allowing a second nominee to sit as a member of Congress without the proper authority in violation of the party-list law.
In their appeal filed last June 2, An Waray argued that in the party-list system, the candidate is the organization itself and what is being proclaimed is the party and not its nominee. It cited the Comelec Second Division’s resolution on the disqualification petition against Erwin Tulfo—a nominee of ACT-CIS party-list—where the same body confirmed that a separate proclamation of nominees after the party has been proclaimed is not material nor required.
The motion for reconsideration also questioned the Second Division’s view that while An Waray was proclaimed as one of the winners in the party-list race during the 2013 polls and was initially entitled to two seats in the House of Representatives, this was recomputed and reduced to one seat only under National Board of Canvassers Resolution No. 13-030/004-14 issued on August 20, 2014.
