The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has rejected an appeal from the Moro Ako Party to reverse the cancellation of its registration as a regional political party. This decision relates to the upcoming elections in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). Comelec initially granted the cancellation on August 4th, and the party subsequently filed a motion for reconsideration. The en banc voted to deny this motion on Friday, solidifying the original ruling. This means Moro Ako will not be able to participate in the BARMM parliamentary elections as an accredited party. The cancellation stems from concerns regarding the party's compliance with requirements for registration as a regional party. This outcome significantly alters the political landscape for the BARMM elections.
