COTABATO CITY, BARMM, Philippines — The camp of Anwar Alamada, a candidate for district representative of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in Maguindanao del Sur’s fifth parliamentary district, disqualified by the Commission on Elections (Comelec), is bringing his case to the Supreme Court.
Lawyer Badrodin Mangindra, Alamada’s lawyer, said they followed the process, filing an appeal before the Comelec en banc after its Second Division cancelled his candidacy in the Sept. 14 Bangsamoro parliamentary elections.
But the Comelec en banc affirmed the second division’s cancellation.
Alamada is an official candidate of the MILF’s United Bangsamoro Justice Party (UBJP) and served in the erstwhile rebel group’s ceasefire panel mediating warring families and field commanders.
