The Commission on Elections (Comelec) may not have enough time left to resolve the conflict between Governor Erico Aumentado and Trinidad Mayor Judith Cajes who are both insistent on their claim as the official Lakas-Kampi-CMD bet for the second district House seat.
Aumentado has filed with the poll body a manifestation and motion to immediately
resolve the impasse and declare him as the Lakas-Kampi official bet in the second district.
If the Comelec could not resolve the issue soon, the two Lakas-Kampi partymates who are aspiring for the same Congress seat, may be running as "independent" candidates.
The Comelec is short of time in printing the specialized official ballots that will be used in the automated polls. If the commissioners en banc fail to decide in time for the printing who between Aumentado and Cajes will be recognized as the administration party's official candidate, both could be declared as independent.
