Pormal na itinalaga ng Commission on Elections (COMELEC) si Commissioner Socorro Inting bilang acting chairperson nito.
Ito ang inihayag ni COMELEC spokesperson James Jimenez noong February 10, 2022.
Ani Jimenez sa press release (published as is), "Acting Chairperson Inting will serve in such capacity until a new Chairperson has been appointed and assumed office.
“Given her stellar performance in helming the Gender and Development initiatives of the Commission these past years, and in streamlining various internal processes in the resolution of cases, we in the Commission are confident of the Honorable Acting Chair's leadership moving forward."
Ang pagkakatalaga kay Inting ay inaprubahan ng COMELEC en banc noong February 3, bilang kapalit ng nagretirong dating chairperson na si Sheriff Abas.
Nagsagawa na rin ang COMELEC ng reorganisasyon ng mga divisions nito.
Pamumunuan ni Inting ang First Division, kung saan kasama niya bilang miyembro si Commissioner Aimee Ferolino.
Ang Second Division ay pamumunuan ni Commissioner Marlon Casquejo bilang presiding commissioner. Miyembro nito si Commissioner Rey Bulay.
Ang mga kaso na hindi pa naira-raffle sa kahit aling division, o ang mga isinampa makalipas ang February 9, ay ira-raffle sa mga bagong nabuong divisions.
Sinabi ni Jimenez na ang mga kasong dati nang nai-raffle sa lumang First and Second Divisions ay mananatili sa mga kinauukulang division para matiyak ang maayos, mabilis, at maingat na disposisyon sa mga kaso.
Aniya, “For this purpose, a former First Division and former Second Division are constituted as follows: Commissioner Casquejo as Presiding Commissioner, and Commissioner Ferolino as member, First Division; Acting Chairperson Inting as Presiding Commissioner, and Commissioner Bulay as member, Second Division.”
Wala pang itinatalaga si Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na kapalit ni Abas, at nina retired Commissioners Rowena Guanzon at Antonio Kho Jr.
