CABANATUAN CITY – Nueva Ecija Gov. Aurelio Umali
will file an election protest against the newly elected congresswoman of the
third district of the province, Rosanna Vergara.
Umali said
Thursday he would file the case before the House of Representatives Electoral
Tribunal, saying cheating and terrorism marred the elections in Nueva Ecija.
“I will avail
myself of the legal remedies,” he said. I owe it to the people to report to
them why I lost by 2,500 votes.”
Vergara is
the wife of reelected Cabanatuan Mayor Julius Cesar Vergara.
She garnered
133,256 votes against Umali’s 130,677.
“She cannot
deny that she resorted to vote buying. I can show the video,” Umali said.
