The Supreme Court en banc on Tuesday junked a petition filed by Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Gov. Mujiv Hataman against the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and his opponent in the May 2016 polls, former Sulu governor Abdusakur Tan. Hataman’s petition was against the Comelec Second Division and Tan, who had claimed massive fraud against the eventual winner of the elections. The Second Division dismissed Hataman’s protest on January 24 that it sustained in an order released on February 14. The ARMM governor had said Tan’s petition was insufficient in form and substance.
