Paul Lizares was re-elected as member of the Board of Directors of Central Negros Electric Cooperative representing District 8 (Talisay City) during its district election Saturday.

Lizares, who was unopposed, garnered a total of 17 votes, Cheryl Tortal, vice chairman of the district election coordinating committee said STAR yesterday.

Lizares, and the winners for the districts 4 (Bacolod east) and 5 (Bacolod west) will take their oaths as new members of the board during the annual general members assembly on June 28.

However, the election for districts 4 and 5 of CENECO remained on hold with the issuance of Temporary Restraining Order by Bacolod Branch 49 Judge Manuel Cardinal last week.

The TRO was issued after Jelssen Dumancas and Vicente Tan, two disqualified candidates from these districts, filed sought an injunction from the court in a bid to stop the polls.

A hearing on the injunction case they filed will be held at about 8 a.m. today at RTC Branch 49.*APN
