00:00 The Commission on Elections reminded political parties in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao
00:07 that there should be no confusion in the 2025 elections.
00:12 Louisa Erispe is live in the Central News.
00:15 Angelique, the Commission on Elections urged political parties in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao
00:25 that there should be no confusion in the upcoming elections.
00:28 Komalek said this along with their preparations for the first parliamentary elections in BARMM.
00:37 Make sure that there is no confusion in the elections.
00:42 This is what Komalek's chairman George Erwin Garcia told political parties in BARMM
00:48 who attended the multi-party democracy summit held today here in Komalek's office.
00:56 Garcia also admitted that there are really confusions in the upcoming elections in BARMM
01:03 but they hope that because this is the first parliamentary elections
01:07 and BARMM has been waiting for a long time under the Bangsamoro Organic Law,
01:13 he hopes that the parties will be united and the elections in the region will be peaceful.
01:19 Our problem is the irregularities outside the machines, like vote buying, terrorism, and violence.
01:30 We know that it is a hot topic and we hope that it will be removed.
01:34 Komalek also listed the incidents that will cause confusion in the elections in BARMM
01:41 in the upcoming elections, like what happened in Barangay and SK Elections in 2023
01:47 where schools were burned, the streets were torn down, and electoral boards were removed.
01:55 The commission said that if this happens again,
01:58 they will be forced to use their power to continue the elections.
02:04 I hope that you will not allow Komalek to use our power to fix the elections in Bangsamoro.
02:15 Different parties attended the Democracy Summit of Komalek.
02:19 One of the parties was the current BARMM Chief Minister, the United Bangsamoro Justice Party.
02:26 According to them, they do not want a peaceful election that Komalek wants.
02:30 They also said that the current party will be better because the fight between families in the region will be lost
02:39 and the fight is for every one they support.
02:43 Up to now, only the UBJP submitted their request to Komalek for accreditation to be a political party in BARMM.
02:52 But from June 7, Komalek plans to extend the deadline for the submission of parties that want to be accredited for the upcoming elections.
03:01 Angelique said that Komalek sees that their application for accreditation is possible in the SHAM political party.
03:10 Angelique, because this is the first parliamentary election in BARMM, Komalek is still preparing for this.
03:19 The parliamentary elections in BARMM will be held simultaneously with the national and local elections.
03:25 This will be held on May 12, 2025.
03:27 Instead of one ballot, the Moro brothers will vote for two ballots in BARMM.
03:34 Angelique?
03:35 Yes, Luisa, did Komalek mention that there are private armies in BARMM?
03:43 Angelique, Komalek did not mention that they have a private army.
03:52 But they are aware that there are terrorist incidents or local terrorists in BARMM.
04:02 This is one of their preparations and they will continue to talk with our police and military to ensure that the upcoming elections will be peaceful.
04:13 Angelique?
04:14 All right. Thank you very much Luisa Erizpe.
