STATEMENT: LENTE Opposes Delaying the 2025 BARMM Parliamentary Elections: Elections Should Be Timely and Periodic

"While LENTE acknowledges Congress's efforts in addressing the complexities surrounding BARMM, LENTE believes that this proposal fails to meet the strict criteria set by the Supreme Court in Macalintal vs. Executive Secretary for election postponement. Regular, periodic elections are fundamental to democracy and should only be postponed under truly exceptional and compelling circumstances.

We call on the COMELEC to continue informing the general public on its timeline and preparations for the elections. Any adjustments to the timeline must be justified only by the highest standards of public necessity and clearly communicated to maintain public confidence in the electoral process.

We also urge Congress to consult not only the public but also key election stakeholders on the ground. We recommend that consultations should be done at every province in the BARMM, and not only at the national level, to ensure that all voices and perspectives are heard and considered in the consideration of these bills.

Most importantly, the first BARMM Parliamentary Elections serve as an essential part of the peace process that has spanned decades and countless sacrifices. This first election represents a significant step towards providing the Bangsamoro people an opportunity to exercise the right to self-determination and autonomy which they have long fought for and have unjustifiably been deprived of."

We release this statement on the conduct of yesterday's elections and call for COMELEC to investigate and act on the numerous reported irregularities.
