Postponement of BARMM election to resolve seat allocations in parliament – Romualdez

The measure that seeks to postpone the elections in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) will help the region adjust with the allocation of seats in the BARMM Parliament after the exclusion of Sulu in the region, Speaker Martin Romualdez said.

“This postponement is not a delay in progress but rather a necessary step to ensure that the foundations we are building for BARMM are solid and capable of supporting a sustainable autonomous government,” Romualdez said in a statement on Thursday.
