In a press statement, Kontra Daya said the Party-list System Act of 1995 and Comelec Resolution No. Keeping NYC postAs of Friday morning, Duterte Youth has garnered 345,240 votes or 1.25 percent of the total votes in the party list race. “Now (Cardema) wants to sit as (Duterte Youth) representative in Congress. The poll watchdog urged the Comelec not to allow such “patently illegal substitution” to prevent the “further erosion and destruction” of the party list system. Allowing it will cement public perception that the Comelec is under the control of the Duterte cabal in Malacañang Palace,” Kontra Daya said.
