Comelec's lawyers allege that ex-Cagayan de Oro vice mayor Kikang Uy deliberately issued residency certificates to voter applicants who failed to present proper identification papers to bolster his candidacy for a House seat

In an 18-page petition on Tuesday, November 26, the Comelec law department sought to disqualify former Cagayan de Oro vice mayor Raineir Joaquin “Kikang” Uy from the race for the congressional post in the city’s 1st District for alleged election registration fraud. They also said the mayor’s son “stands to benefit considering that barangay certification is an accepted identification in support of an application of a person seeking registration as a voter in Barangay Carmen, a barangay in the district where he is seeking public elective office.”
He noted that only 5% of the applications were rejected, mostly due to the applicants’ failure to attend an ERB hearing. He said many of them were workers who couldn’t afford to miss work just to attend the hearing. In July, Suan sounded alarm bells over what he called a “ridiculous” surge in voter registration attempts in Carmen. He said more than 15,000 people had sought to register as new voters in the barangay within a span of just six months.
