KIDAPAWAN CITY -- Authorities here failed to arrest former Maguindanao provincial election supervisor Lintang Bedol when they searched his house in Cotabato City on Friday.
Inspector Willy Casuyo, station 4 chief of the Cotabato City police, said they could not find Bedol in his house.
They were met by his wife Hadja Hajijia who told them that she last saw her husband on October 20.
On Tuesday, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) has set a deadline for Bedol's arrest.
The Comelec had charged Bedol for his repeated failure to attend the hearings called by the commission and his refusal to submit written explanations of his absences, his unlawful possession of accountable election documents, and his outright disrespect for the authority of the Comelec.
