Zubiri resigned from the Senate in August 2011 following allegations of poll fraud during the 2007 elections and an electoral protest filed by Koko Pimentel. He continued to deny the allegations.[8][9][10][11] His resignation marked a first in Senate history, as other senators who left the Senate did so in order to take up another post in public office.[12]
