Ampatuan, et al. vs.
COMELEC
G.
R. No. 149803. January 31, 2002
The petitioners were
proclaimed victorious in the May 14, 2001 Maguindanao Provincial election after
the order suspending such proclamation was lifted by the COMELEC, which issued
the same. Respondents petitioned, before
the Supreme Court, the suspension of the
effects of the said proclamation and
insisted that there had been a “failure of election”. The COMELEC ordered the consolidation of respondents’
petitions and a random technical
examination on several precincts.
Petitioners contended
that by virtue of their proclamation, the proper remedy available to
respondents was not a petition for declaration of failure of elections but an
election protest.
Issue:
Whether or not COMELEC
had jurisdiction to act on respondents’ petitions even after proclamation of
petitioners as winners
