Special BTA session set as Bangsamoro redistricting bill stalls
A special session of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) parliament has been called for January 12 to resume deliberations on a redistricting bill, crucial for the region's 2026 elections.
The bill's delay had previously led the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to suspend the filing of certificates of candidacy for the upcoming elections.
BTA Speaker Mohammad Yacob convened the special session at the request of BARMM interim Chief Minister Abdulraof Macacua, emphasizing its urgency.
The redistricting measure is a prerequisite for printing ballots and allocating seats for the Bangsamoro parliamentary elections.
