The filing of certificates of candidacy for the 2025 BARMM elections was originally scheduled from October 1 to 8
MANILA, Philippines – The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has moved the period for the filing of certificates of candidacy for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) parliamentary elections to November 4 to 9.
The original schedule was October 1 to 8.
Comelec Resolution No. 11051 cited the recent Supreme Court ruling upholding the Bangsamoro Organic Law and excluding Sulu from BARMM.
“The decision of the Supreme Court to exclude the Province of Sulu from the BARMM, has crucial effect on the ongoing pre-election activities conducted by the Commission as there is a need to accommodate several adjustments in the Commission’s administrative jurisdiction over Sulu, allocation of parliamentary districts and membership in Regional Parliamentary Political Party (RPPP) and Parliamentary Sectoral Organizations (PSOs),” the Comelec said in Resolution 11051.
Under the resolution, the list of nominees and certificate of acceptance of nomination with affidavit of non-affinity of RPPP or coalition shall be filed together with the manifestation of intent to participate in the parliamentary elections not later than November 9, 2024.
Comelec Resolution 11051 amends Comelec Resolution 11045. The national and local, and BARMM elections will be held on May 12, 2025.– Rappler.com
