The Bangsamoro parliament hopes to get a directive soon on the seven parliamentary seats reserved for Sulu, following the exclusion of the province from the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao .
Pendatun, in an interview with ABS-CBN News, said: “We hope to have a clear directive as soon as possible. From the national government and also from Comelec. Kung yung decision po is we push through with just 73 seats being contested, then for purposes of ensuring na we’ll have an election next year then yun po yung susundin natin,” he added.
Commission on Elections chairman George Garcia earlier said the Comelec will push through with the parliamentary elections in Bangsamoro, leaving the seven seats for Sulu vacant.
