Election-related violence – 2007

In the lead up to the election and on election day, 126 people were killed and 148 others wounded by election-related violence. This is less than the 2004 election, when 189 people were killed. The New People’s Army has been implicated in the destruction of polling booths and the murder of election officials. The election was regarded by Director General Oscar Calderon of the Philippine National Police as relatively peaceful, “We have noted a relatively peaceful situation nationwide, and I am confident that this will be the ultimate outcome until after the entire election process is completed”.
