TINGA, J. |

| By allowing each wing to nominate different candidates, the COMELEC planted the seeds of confusion among the electorate, who are apt to be confounded by two candidates from a single political party. In Recabo, Jr. v. Commission on Elections,[42] this Court declared that the electoral process envisions one candidate from a political party for each position, and disunity and discord amongst members of a political party should not be allowed to create a mockery thereof. The admonition against mocking the electoral process not only applies to political parties but with greater force to the COMELEC. | |||||
