- Electoral specialists cite Articles 44 and 40 to argue the presidential formula would be nullified if the death is confirmed, while relatives contend a vice-presidential nominee should replace him.
- JNE sources indicated the national tribunal will wait for the relevant JEE pronouncements before issuing a final decision.
- ONPE is continuing the scheduled printing of 27,983,556 ballots with no new instructions from the JNE, according to officials.
