MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections on Saturday said the proclamation of winners in the senatorial and part-list races won’t happen on Sunday as previously announced.

“Di po tuloy ‘yong bukas na ni-announce kahapon. We are not ready to proclaim yet. So the schedule will be announced,” Comelec said in a press conference.

There have been calls for the suspension of proclamation for national candidates amid allegations of electoral fraud and irregularities that put into question the credibility of the May 13 polls.

On Friday, Comelec already tabulated 147 out of 167 certificates of canvass.
