The Marcos administration should grant a general amnesty to former Moro Islamic Liberation Front combatants to allow them to bid for elective posts in the first ever Bangsamoro Parliament polls in May 2025, MILF Peace Implementing Panel chairperson Mohagher Iqbal said.
The Marcos administration should grant a general amnesty to former Moro Islamic Liberation Front combatants to allow them to bid for elective posts in the first ever Bangsamoro Parliament polls in May 2025, MILF Peace Implementing Panel chairperson Mohagher Iqbal said.Iqbal made the call as the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao marked the 10th anniversary of the signing of the peace deal between the government and the MILF named Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro .
Iqbal also said that while the MILF has held the majority seats in the Bansgamoro Parliament since the region was established in 2019, a majority win in the 2025 polls is not a sure thing as they will be going up against the political clans who have been ruling the BARMM provinces for years.“The ball is round, anything could happen. That is our hope, but we are working on that situation towards the 2025 election.
