'I would like to contest that statement…they even included incidents which are not necessarily related to the election,' Comelec Chairman George Garcia says.
The Commission on Elections on Thursday refuted the report saying that the 2023 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections was the “bloodiest election in the past decade” in autonomous region in Mindanao.
Garcia said the Comelec only recorded 19 election-related deaths and 29 election-related violence, and these were verified by the Philippine National Police.“We really condemn this and this will be an eye-opener on the part of Comelec for us to be able to be prepared by next election,” he added.
