MANILA - The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has disqualified 73 individuals from running for local positions in the upcoming mid-term elections.

The Commission en banc issued Resolution 9610 promulgated on January 11, 2013 that adopts the recommendations of the Law Department and Provincial Election Supervisors, regional election directors and local election officers nationwide.

“The above memoranda contain fact-finding investigations and preliminary hearings by the field officials, showing, among others, that there are nuisance candidates who have filed their certificates of candidacy to put the election process in mockery and disrepute and cause confusion among the voters by the similarity of the names of the registered candidates and by other circumstances or acts which clearly demonstrate that they have no bona fide intention to run for the office for which the COC has been filed," the Comelec said.
