The remotest in Maguindanao is first to transmit election results
Elections Commissioner Moslemen T. Macarambon reported today that the first municipality in Maguindanao to transmit its election results was in the municipality of Rajah Buayan, about 45 kilometers from the Provincial Capitol, where the provincial canvassing center is situated.
Rajah Buayan, is a marsh land that can only be reached by 2-3 hours travel on board pump boats.
“As of 3:53 this afternoon, the first precinct to transmit its election results was from the clustered precincts 0023A-OO25A in Mileb Elementary School, Barangay Mileb, Rajah Buayan. There are 275 registered voters there wherein all of them voted,” said Macarambon, who is also the Commissioner-in-Charge for Maguindanao.
The poll body Commissioner furthered that the second transmission came in at 4:00 PM from Old Maganoy Elementary School in the Municipality of Datu Abdullah Sangki.
As for the conduct of the polls in the entire province of Maguindanao, Macarambon said it was “generally smooth, orderly because there is no single report of any untoward incident that reached us here.”
He estimated the total voter-turnout in the province to be not lower than 85% given that all election results transmitted so far, to the counting center, “all are 100%.”
“Sa palagay ko ang dahilan nito ay kagustuhan ng mga botante na lumahok sa makasaysayang eleksyon na ito. They all want to exercise their right to vote, which is a good sign for a democratic country such as ours,” Macarambon said. ###
