President Rodrigo Duterte filled the last slot to complete the seven-man Commission on Elections less than a year before the 2019 midterm elections.
Special Assistant to the President Christopher Lawrence ‘Bong’ Go confirmed the Chief Executive’s appointment of Department of Justice Undersecretary Antonio Kho Jr. as Comelec commissioner.
Kho will take the post vacated by Sheriff Abas who was appointed Comelec chairman.
Abas replaced former polls chief Andres Bautista who resigned amid allegations by his wife, Patricia, that he amassed ill-gotten wealth amounting to nearly P1 billion.
Both Abas and Kho will serve the commission until February 2022.
Kho is the fourth appointee of the President in the Comelec. The others were Commissioners Socorro Inting, Marlon Casquejo and Abas.
Other commissioners of the Comelec are Al Parreno, Luie Tito Guia and Rowena Amelia.
