| MILF forms Bangsamoro political party |
| 2014-04-10 |
| Fresh from signing an agreement with the Philippine government to end a decades-long insurgency, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) on Tuesday announced it had formed its own political party to run in the future Bangsamoro autonomous region in Mindanao. Their party will be called the United Bangsamoro Justice Party and will field candidates in the regional elections, according to MILF political affairs chief Ghadzali Jaafar. Jaafar said that the party was formed weeks ago and has chapters now in major areas included in the proposed Bangsamoro entity. He said, "We have already named chairs in Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, Lanao del Sur and Maguindanao and other areas." Chief MILF negotiator Mohagher Iqbal said the MILF would welcome any candidate as long as "he or she is for the good of the Bangsamoro." |
