COTABATO CITY — Five of six governors of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao on Saturday reiterated their call for the postponement of the October 30 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections in the Bangsamoro region until after the decommissioning of combatants of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front shall have been completed.
In their February appeal, the governors said they are “seriously concerned that law enforcement in the BARMM will continue to be handicapped leading to the barangay elections of October 30, 2023 unless effective decommissioning of MILF combatants and firearms is completed. The Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity had earlier reported that 15,300 MILF combatants out of 40,000 have yet to be decommissioned and only 4,625 firearms have been decommissioned.
