THIRTY-FIVE of the 190 party-list groups that filed their certificates of candidacy (CoCs) and certificates of nomination and acceptance (CoNAs) have not been accredited, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) said Thursday.
Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia said the 35 groups had petitions that were dismissed or rejected, or their motions for reconsideration were not approved, but they decided to file anyway.
