The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Second Division has cancelled the Certificate of Candidacy (COC) of Anwar Salipada Alamada, an aspirant for the 5th District Representative of Maguindanao del Sur under the United Bangsamoro Justice Party (UBJP), the political wing of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). The decision was made in response to a petition filed by rival candidate Rafsanjani Pendatun Ali of the Bangsamoro Federalist Party (BFP), who accused Alamada of not being a resident of the district where he intended to run. The COMELEC ruled that Alamada committed "false material representation" in his COC, leading to his removal from the roster of candidates for the upcoming 2026 Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) parliamentary elections.
