The Commission on Elections (Comelec) says winners of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) parliamentary elections are expected to be proclaimed before midnight on Tuesday. This includes candidates for the regional parliamentary political party (RPPP) race and sectoral representatives.
Comelec reports that the electoral exercise is extended in Maluso, Basilan after concerns about ballot integrity emerge. In Maluso, pre-shaded or compromised ballots are discovered in 36 of 68 precincts on Monday, prompting additional time to complete the voting-related process before results are finalized.
The outlets focus on the same developments: a scheduled proclamation timeline and the reported ballot issues in Maluso that lead to an extension of the election day. While one report emphasizes the expected proclamation “before midnight,” the other presents it through live updates tied to the BARMM results and related statements from Comelec. Both accounts rely on Comelec for the timing and describe the Maluso incident as a key factor affecting the proceedings.
