COTABATO CITY, Philippines – More than 100 individuals and eight political parties have formally declared their intent to seek seats in the regional government of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao during the region’s first parliamentary elections set for May 2025. The 109 candidates are set to compete for 25 district seats in the BARMM parliament, a reduction from the original 32 seats following a Supreme Court ruling in September that excluded Sulu province and its seven seats from the predominantly Muslim region.
Each party registered in BARMM was required to submit a nominee list for the 40 parliamentary seats reserved for political parties. These seats, similar to party-list seats in the House of Representatives, will be allotted based on each party’s standing in the election.Eight more seats in the BARMM parliament are reserved for underrepresented sectors.The Moro Ako Party, headed by lawyer Najeeb Taib, was the first to submit documents.
