The Commission on Elections (Comelec) 2nd Division has canceled the certificate of candidacy (COC) of Anwar Salipada Alamada, a candidate for the 5th District of Maguindanao del Sur under the United Bangsamoro Justice Party (UBJP), the political wing of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). The decision came after a petition by rival candidate Rafsanjani Pendatun Ali of the Bangsamoro Federalist Party (BFP), who alleged that Alamada was not a resident of the district he sought to represent. The Comelec ruled that Alamada committed "false material representation" in his COC, leading to his removal from the candidate roster for the upcoming Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) parliamentary elections.
