Audit group: Zubiri’s victory ’statistically impossible’
After his proclamation, controversies still haunt the 12th senator. Everybody knows, however, this was coming. It will be a long way I supposed for the Bukidnon Senator.
This should be subject to a grueling investigation in the auspices of the Senate Electoral Tribunal.
GMANnews.tv reported that an independent audit group came out with a report showing that elections in Maguindanao province was marred by fraud that largely benefited newly proclaimed senator Juan Miguel Zubiri.
In the 15-page Citizens’ Audit Report of the 2007 National Elections released on Friday, Halalang Marangal or the Network of Citizens for Honest Elections and Truthful Statistics, said Zubiri “is the biggest beneficiary of the Maguindanao certificates of canvass fraud because it puts him in the winning circle of senatorial candidates, dislodging Pimentel.”
