Election lawyers, youth leaders seek to block Duterte Youth's new nominees

For its new set of substitute nominees, Cardema was against listed as the party’s first nominee, followed by his wife, Ducielle Suarez Cardema, the party’s second nominee.

They argued that Duterte Youth’s new nominees failed to submit documents that would prove they “truly belong” to or had advocated for the youth sector, which they seek to represent in Congress. “This second wave of movement in Duterte Youth’s list of nominees…confirms, reinforces, and further supports our previous position that the mass withdrawal and mass substitution of Duterte Youth is no longer in good faith, but a deliberate scheme to ‘game’ the system shamelessly committed right under the noses of this Commission,” they said.

Marañon earlier hit the re-filing of a new set of substitute nominees as another"clear attempt" of Duterte Youth to circumvent Section 8 of Republic Act No. 7941 or the Party-List Act which prohibits the “alteration of the order of nominees” after it has been submitted to Comelec.Cardema's nominamtion, which was granted by the poll body.

The Comelec en banc will tackle Duterte Youth's refiling of new substitute nominees on Wednesday, August 14.
