BALANGA CITY, Bataan — Two women members of the ruling Lakas-Kampi-CMD party will slug it out for the first congressional district in Bataan, a position that is expected to be contested immediately between the two contending candidates if “who is who.”
Ms. Gila Garcia, daughter of incumbent and reelectionist Governor Enrique “Tet” Garcia, was officially endorsed by then Lakas-Kampi president Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita and Lakas-Kampi Secretary General Gabriel Claudio, to be the party’s official candidate for Bataan’s First District.
Ms. Garcia challenges incumbent and reelectionist Rep. Minia Roman who is also a Lakas-Kampi member.
But Atty. Elmo Doque, Comelec provincial supervisor here, said that this is in violation of the Sections 6 and 7 of Comelec Resolution No. 8692 since, he said, only one candidate should be nominated by a political party to run in one position.
Citing the Comelec resolution, Atty. Doque said: “No political party should be allowed to nominate more than the number of persons required to be voted for in an election post…” which means that only one candidate is allowed to be nominated for the same position.
