UP Baguio COMELEC

The UP Baguio Committee on Elections (UPB COMELEC) apologizes for the delays surrounding the proclamation and oath-taking of the winning candidates for the 2026 University Student Council Elections.

All grievances submitted during the protest periods (April 9-13 and May 19-22) were forwarded to the University Electoral Tribunal (UET) for proper adjudication. While many concerns have been addressed, as of writing, there are still ongoing deliberations. COMELEC cannot yet proceed until the resolution of these matters ahead of the formal proclamation and assumption of office of the elected candidates. Pending their decisions, the Oath-Taking Ceremony will be moved indefinitely, and a partial proclamation will be announced soon.

The COMELEC encourages patience at this time, and enjoins all candidates, political organizations, and members of the student body to respect the ongoing process and to await official announcements through COMELEC channels.

Thank you for your understanding.
