No voting irregularities in 2022 polls, Palace reiterates

By Katrina Gracia Consebido

 

Presidential Communications Secretary and Acting Presidential Spokesperson Martin Andanar reiterated on Thursday, May 19, that there were no irregularities in the recent May 9 local and national elections.

In a statement, he asked the public to ā€œrespect the outcome of the election,ā€ and give candidates the chance to showcase their programs for the country.

ā€œLet us respect the outcome of the election and give chance to the winning candidates to fulfill their campaign platform,ā€ Andanar said.

ā€œHowever, to dispel doubts of some quarters such as the Philippine Election 2022 International Observer Mission, which has been quoted as saying ā€œthe May 9 election did not meet the standard of free and fair,ā€ we leave the matter to the Commission on Elections,ā€ he added.

The International Observer Mission is an election watchdog organization who independently monitored the May 9 elections to cover the entire electoral process.Ā  –ag
