MANILA, Philippines – The United Bangsamoro Justice Party (UBJP) has captured all six additional seats allocated to sectoral representatives in the Bangsamoro Parliament after the first-ever Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) parliamentary polls.

These six representatives come from the settler communities, women, youth, traditional leaders, and Ulama (Muslim religious leaders) sectors. The newly elected bets will join the Bangsamoro Parliament alongside the two Non-Moro Indigenous Peoples (NMIP) representatives selected earlier in August.

These six winning candidates for sectoral representatives were chosen through the direct plurality of valid votes cast for nominees in their representative sectors. This means they appeared as individuals on the ballot and could receive votes from all registered voters — including those who are not part of the sectors the candidates intend to represent.

In contrast, the NMIP representatives were chosen during a regional inter-tribal convention based on customary law. In every election cycle, the chosen representatives will rotate among the region’s six major non-Moro indigenous groups: the Teduray, Lambangian, Erumanen ne Menuvu, Dulangan Manobo, Blaan, and Limbubungan Higaonon.

Elected parliament members will serve a term from October 30, 2026, to June 30, 2031, synchronizing the BARMM polls with the national and local elections, according to the Comelec. After that, the region’s parliamentary elections will be held every three years. – Rappler.com
