The Commission on Elections or COMELEC’s second division declared presidential aspirant Rizalito David a nuisance candidate.
The COMELEC yesterday ruled in favor of its legal department, which had brought a motu proprio petition to declare David a nuisance candidate and cancel his certificate of candidacy (COC) for president.
In the resolution, the COMELEC second division said that “it is clear that respondent has no bona fide intention to run for the office he seeks to be elected to.”
David had also claimed that he was nominated by Kapatiran Party. But this was refuted by the president of the party, Norman Cabrera.
David, who lost the 2013 senatorial election, filed a petition in the senate electoral tribunal (set) for the ousters of Senator Grace Poe. The SET threw out the petition.
He is also one of the petitioners in the COMELEC for the disqualification of Poe from next year’s presidential election. (Eagle News Service)
