The administration Lakas bets for the top provincial posts made a sweeping victory in all the three congressional districts as the first automated elections drew the final results, excluding five municipalities (out of 47) as of 7 o'clock last night.
Rep. Edgar Chatto pooled the biggest votes in the gubernatorial race with 203,392 votes. Trailing behind with a margin of 55,375 votes was Vice Gov. Julius Herrera of the Nacionalista Party.
Herrera who got 142,017 votes was closely followed by movie actor/director Cesar Montano with 133,002 votes to come in third. The margin was just 15,015 as early figures showed that Montano ranked second placer in the gubernatorial race.
Chatto was proclaimed as governor last night by the Provincial Board of Canvassers even as results from four municipalities were still being awaited from Jagna, Jetafe, Mabini, Bien Unido and Garcia Hernandez.
Board Member Concepcion Lim who garnered 153,078 votes to lead the vice gubernatorial race was not proclaimed last night considering that the lead over former Prov'l Administrator Tomas Abapo, Jr (NP) was only 10,978 with results from four towns not yet included in the canvass.
Abapo who ranked second got 142,100 votes at the suspension of canvassing last night. Former DepEd Supt. Elpidio Jala of the Liberal Party who was a consistent survey leader garnered 121,315 votes. Aluras got 12,768 votes.
The proclamation of the winner in the vice gubernatorial race is slated anytime today as the election returns from the five towns would have been tabulated.

The three congressional seats in the province were won by Lakas bets, namely former Gov. Rene Relampagos for the first district, Gov. Erico Aumentado for the second district and former DA Sec. Arthur Yap for the third district.
