Vice Governor Dennis “Delta” Pineda has won by a landslide against opponent Bacolor Mayor Jomar Hizon during the May 13 polls.
Based on election Returns (ERs) tallied from the 19 municipalities and two cities, Pineda garnered 631,606 votes as against Hizon’s 221,664 votes.
In his Facebook post, Pineda thanked the Kapampangans for the overwhelming votes.
“Buong puso po akong nagpapasalamat sa lahat ng tumulong sa ating kampanya. Nagpapasalamat din po ako sa lahat nang nagtiwala sa akin at ibinoto ako bilang gobernador ng ating mahal na lalawigang Pampanga. Patuloy nyo pong ipagdasal ang ating tagumpay,” Pineda said in his FB status.
Hizon, for his part, conceded and accepted defeat.
“I would like to inform the general public especially the KapampanganS, that I am conceding, meaning I have accepted that I have lost it already in this gubernatorial race,” Hizon said in a television interview.
