Candidates from the KBL , Nacionalista , Federal Party , Sovereign Citizen Party , and independents
KBL ‘ s Ferdinand Marcos- Arturo Tolentino and
the UNIDO-LABAN Coalition ’ s Cory Aquino- Salvador Laurel
|
The campaign can be characterized as an exchange of accusations and attacks on issues concerning nationalism , land reform , foreign policy , cronyism , and graft and corruption .
It was a move by Marcos to submit himself to the electoral process to regain legitimacy for his administration ; a relevant Presidential Proclamation was issued which limited the campaign days and changed the age requirement for presidential candidate from 45 to 50 years ; such prevented Ninoy Aquino to run for president KBL ’ s slogan “ Cory walang alam ” played on Cory ’ s inexperience while Aquino ’ s slogan “ Tama na , Sobra Na , Palitan Na ” became the rallying event on the day Marcos was ousted
|
Marcos won and became the first RP president to be reelected . Party-mate Fernando Lopez won the vice-presidency . Nacionalista Party also won majority of the House seats .
Marcos won by a landslide . ( see tally )
This election was described as the “ most legally-biased elections as the Proclamation was designed to ensure victory for Marcos ”.
Comelec declared Marcos and Tolentino as winners while Namfrel count reflected Aquino and Laurel ’ s victory . ( see tally ) Instances of election irregularities were reported : cases of missing voters ’ names , ballot snatching , missing voters ’ list and voting materials , cases of election violence . Due to the People Power Uprising at EDSA and pressure from US government , Marcos was overthrown from Malacañang and left for Hawaii .
