Richard Lugar, accused Marcos of holding back vote results from Manila, where Mrs. Aquino is strongest, in order to "shape the returns." "My own political judgment is that the government concluded the results from Manila would not be good." said Lugar. By suppressing them, Lugar said, "the government is trying to determine, in what was a fairly close election, what is going to be required" for a Marcos victory. Marcos, who had said earlier that he "probably will win these elections," told Cable News Network that he was ahead of his rival by 13 million to 11 million votes, although no tabulation has reported anywhere near that number of votes counted.
