Philippines police say they have arrested a senior election official at the centre of an alleged massive vote fraud in the south of the country.
The arrest follows a call by the Elections Commission for Lintang Bedol to be arrested after he failed to answer a summons to produce election documents which he claimed had disappeared from his office.
Mr Bedol was supervising provincial elections in the southern province of Maguindanao, where independent poll observers alleged massive cheating took place in mid-term elections on May 14.
Witnesses also said votes were rigged to favour pro-government candidates.
