Senatorial candidate and Party-list Representative Rodante Marcoleta has asked the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to proclaim the top six candidates in the Senate race based on the partial and unofficial count.

Marcoleta, currently ranking 6th in the senatorial race, having garnered a total of 14,895,858 votes, filed a motion with the Comelec.

He said that there is a statistical improbability that the next six candidates from 7th to 12th place will no longer affect the standing of the first six candidates.

“Hence, may we respectfully pray that, should this Honorable Commission determine that it is statistically improbable for the rankings of the leading senatorial candidates to be altered based on the official canvass returns, it should consider allowing the early proclamation of the top-ranking Senators whose positions can no longer be reasonably contested,” he further said.

The Comelec, sitting as the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC), reconvened on Tuesday to start the canvassing of votes for senators and party-list groups for Eleksyon 2025.

The NBOC is looking to proclaim all 12 winning senators by Saturday, May 17.
