Poll set for seat vacated by Iggy Arroyo
BACOLOD CITY— The Commission on Elections (Comelec) will hold a special election on June 2 for the House seat vacated by the late Rep. Ignacio Arroyo.
The Comelec en banc set the date of the election after receiving a copy of House Resolution No. 2171, calling for a special election to fill up the seat vacated by Arroyo who died in London on Jan. 26.
The resolution was transmitted to the Comelec on Tuesday.
