Comelec division ordered to resolve Lakas-Kampi merger issue soonest

As the deadline draws near for political party conventions to select candidates for the 2010 polls, Commission on Elections chairman Jose Melo ordered a poll body division Thursday to resolve soonest the row involving the administration Lakas-Kampi-CMD party.

In a radio interview, Melo said the hearings on the merged party are already finished and it is up to the division handling the case to come out with a resolution.

“Alam ninyo, 'di ako nakikialam sa trabaho ng division. Sabi ko sa kanila medyo bilis-bilisan nila ang action. Mukhang natapos na ang hearing, ilalabas na lamang ang decision nila (You know, I do not interfere in the work of the Comelec’s divisions. But I have ordered the one handling the case to speed up its work and come up with its decision soon)," he said in an interview on dzXL radio.

Founders of Lakas, including former House Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr., had questioned the party’s merging with President Gloria Arroyo’s Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino (Kampi).

De Venecia is even seeking to nullify the merger.

It's funny to see our leaders who are vowing to unite us, can't even get their own group united. I'm really in favor of two-party system.
