A coin toss decided the top-ranking councilor in Solano, Nueva Vizcaya after two candidates received the exact same number of votes on #Eleksyon2025.
Thomas Dave Santos won the toss against Clifford Tito, with both garnering 13,451 votes in the recent elections.
The Municipal Board of Canvassers carried out the coin toss, which is allowed under Philippine election rules when there is a tie, as long as both candidates agree.
Under the Local Government Code, the top-ranking councilor may be next in line to assume the role of mayor or vice mayor if either can no longer serve.
