“We might not be able to do it next year considering the Supreme Court decision separating the province of Sulu from the Bangsamoro region,” said President Marcos of the 2025 first BARMM Parliamentary election.
In an interview in Pangasinan, the President mentioned the probability of pushing back the BARMM electoral exercise, which is to coincide with next year’s mid-term election, for lack of material time.
Those pushing for the deferment of the BARMM first-ever Parliamentary poll include Senate President Chiz Escudero and House Speaker Martin Romuladez, who both led in filing separate bills for the postponement; the four governors of BARMM namely Jim S. Hataman Salliman of Basilan, Abdulraof A. Macacua of Maguindanao del Norte, Mamintal Alonto Adiong of Lanao del Sur and Yshmael I. Sali of Tawi-Tawi.
“Early this week, the BARMM governors sent a signed resolution to the President explaining that the resetting of the BARMM election would allow time to reconfigure electoral districts, and ensure that all remaining areas have adequate representation.”
