MANILA, Philippines (Xinhua) - Members of the leftist group New People's Army (NPA) seized a candidate for mayor in Baganga, Davao Oriental yesterday afternoon, police confirmed today.

Provincial police chief Senior Superintendent Jose Carumba said independent candidate Ronie Osnan was abducted by the NPAs due to his refusal to pay the permit to campaign fee.

Carumba said Osnan was kidnapped by at least 30 leftist rebels at Campawan village in Baganga town after a speaking engagement.

Police said Osnan was able to call his friends today morning to tell them that he is under the custody of the NPAs.
