SC orders Comelec to proclaim Uy winner in 2022 Zambo del Norte congressional race | Joel R. San Juan

THE Supreme Court has ordered the Commission on Elections to proclaim Roberto “Pinpin” T. Uy Jr. as the winner in the 2022 elections for the first congressional district of Zamboanga del Norte.

Uy insisted that the results of the elections showed him garnering 69,591 votes, while Jalosjos Jr. got 69,109 votes but his proclamation was stopped by the Comelec due to the latter’s petition seeking to declare Frederico as a nuisance candidate. “In Uy’s case, the Comelec, motu proprio, ordered the suspension of his proclamation even though the PBOC had clear basis to proclaim Uy as the winning candidate, having garnered the highest number of votes,” the SC pointed out.

Jalosjos claimed that Frederico is not known as “Kuya Jan,” the nickname the latter submitted, which sounds similar with Jalosjos’ nickname, “Kuya Jonjon.”
