Kalinga elections update

Too early still

As of the moment, reports coming from the different parts of the province the congressional seat for the lone district of Kalinga is being closely fought for by Candidates James Bejarin, Manuel Agyao, and Macario Duguiang. Joseph Delson and Danzel Langkit however are getting more votes. In the municipality of Tabuk alone, Bejarin got more than seven thousand votes followed by Agyao with more than six thousand votes.

In the gubernatorial, it is too being tightly contested by Congressman Laurence Wacnang and Floydelia Diasen. However, in Tabuk alone Diasen got a significant lead over Wacnang having obtained more than 15 thousand votes compared to the latter's more than seven thousand votes only. Province wide though it is pretty close. It is therefore too early to tell who will win considering further that Diasen's substitution is still questionable, though the Comelec allegedly issued on May 10 a resolution that OKs Diasen's Certificate of Candidacy (CoC). Diasen's lead in Tabuk maybe the result of what they call the ephemeral "sympathy votes".
