LP is dominant minority party, to get ER’s, server
(Update 3 - 9:18 PM) The Liberal Party has been declared as the dominant minority in the May elections, entitling it to a copy of one election return (ER) and a server where results will automatically be received on election day. In a nine-page resolution, the Comelec en banc also declared the Lakas-Kampi CMD as the dominant majority party in next week's polls. As a dominant majority party, Lakas-Kampi will also enjoy privileges given to the dominant minority party. The same resolution also declared the Nacionalista Party (NP), Bangon Pilipinas Movement, Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC), Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP), Puwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP), and PDP-LABAN as the six accredited major political parties. Accredited major political parties will also be entitled to copies of the ER and will be given priority to deploy watchers to the precincts and canvassing centers, under Republic Act 9369 or the amended Poll Automation Law. The decision was based on the following criteria:
- The established record of the said parties, coalition or groups
- The number of incumbent elective officials belonging to them 90 days before the date of elections
- Their identifiable political organizations and strengths as evidenced by their organized chapters
- The ability to field a complete slate of candidates from the municipal level to the position of Senator
- Other analogous circumstances that may determine their relative organizations and strengths
