The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has disqualified Edgar Erice from running for a House of Representatives seat in the 2025 elections due to his dissemination of false information aimed at disrupting the electoral process. The Comelec Second Division granted the disqualification petition filed by Raymond Salipot, citing violations of the Omnibus Election Code (OEC). Erice was found to have made unverified claims against Comelec and the electoral process, including allegations about a P18 billion contract with Miru Systems. The decision noted that Erice’s statements lacked credible evidence and were intended to undermine confidence in the 2025 elections. However, the disqualification is not final, and further legal proceedings are expected.
