“The Lakas-CMD will ask the Commission on Elections to investigate the alleged irregularities in the overseas absentee voting in Dubai and Singapore,” Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, the Philippine vice presidential candidate, stated on Monday night.

Sara Zimmerman Duterte-Carpio, often known as Inday Sara, is a Filipina lawyer and politician who has been the mayor of Davao City since 2016, having previously served from 2010 to 2013. Prior to becoming mayor, she served as Davao City’s vice mayor from 2007 to 2010. She is President Rodrigo Duterte’s daughter.

Sara stated in a statement that reports of pre-shaded ballots discovered during voting in Singapore and Dubai should not be taken lightly.

“That my name was allegedly pre-shaded, along with some senatorial candidates, is grossly disconcerting,” Sara stated, the eldest daughter of President Rodrigo Duterte.

She continued, “As a politician, my experience has taught me that Filipinos do not respect those who cheat and engage in election fraud.”

According to the Philippine embassy in Singapore, an unintended defective ballot was handed to a voter on April 10, the first day of the abroad absentee voting process.
