Mar Roxas Now Leading Over Binay

Senator Manuel “Mar” Roxas II will be leading over Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay

The Liberal Party claimed that Sen. Manuel “Mar” Roxas 2nd, its candidate for vice president in the May 10 elections, was leading Mayor Jejomar Binay of Makati City (Metro Manila) by more than 137,000 votes based on official certificates of canvass (COC) they have gathered representing 81 percent of provinces and chartered cities.

Analysis

Based on an analysis of counted clustered precincts, GMANews.TV projects that Roxas would cut Binay’s lead by only 63,600 votes when all election returns have been canvassed. (This last figure was an increase on May 17 from 31,600 after an analysis of the updated tally)

The analysis was based on voting trends established in counted clustered precincts in the same localities as uncounted precincts. For Roxas to win, the clustered precincts that remain uncounted would have to yield voting results far different from those in the counted precincts.

It is only Congress, convening as the National Board of Canvassers, which is authorized to canvass the votes and proclaim the new president and vice president of the country. The Senate and House of Representatives will most likely convene as NBC on May 25 after the respective chambers approve the rules on May 24.
