The campaign period for the historic Bangsamoro regional parliamentary elections officially commenced on Wednesday in Maguindanao. Candidates from the two Maguindanao provinces have signed peace covenants, committing to a peaceful and honest electoral process. This initiative, facilitated by the Commission on Elections (Comelec), aims to ensure a stable and legitimate election on September 14th. The covenants represent a commitment to refrain from violence and uphold the integrity of the polls. These elections are a crucial step in solidifying the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao’s governance. The move signifies a dedication to peaceful democratic transition within the region. Comelec has set regulations for the campaign period to ensure fair play and prevent disruptions.
