Islamic City of Marawi (08 November) -- Eight (8) towns in Lanao del Sur will conduct special elections for all municipal elective positions this coming Saturday, November 13.
Provincial Election Supervisor Atty. Nasib Yasin disclosed the towns to hold special polls on Saturday include Buadipuso Buntong, Kapai, Marantao, Calanogas, Ganassi, Lumbatan, Pagayawan and Tugaya.
He said special elections in these areas only involve some barangays except for Tugaya which was declared a total failure.
Yasin further said that the numbers of barangays involved are: one (1) in Buadipuso Buntong, 10 in Kapai, one (1) in Marantao, six (6) in Calanogas, four (4) in Ganassi, two (2) in Lumbatan, one (1) in Pagayawan, and twenty-four (24) in Tugaya.
The conduct of elections in these areas was declared a failure during the May 10 polls.
The Provincial Election Supervisor stressed that the elections in these barangays on May 10 did not push through due to poll-related violence.
Last May 10 elections, members of the board of election inspectors (BEIs) also refused to come out because of security concerns, he added.
Yasin also revealed that the poll body has recently passed a resolution designating police trainees from region 10 to serve as BEIs during the November 13 special elections.
