The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is urging Congress to finalize its decision by December on postponing the 2025 BARMM elections to address the Supreme Court’s ruling that excludes Sulu from BARMM. Comelec needs a resolution to determine if ballot printing will commence for the May 2025 elections. Leaders like Senate President Escudero and House Speaker Romualdez support postponement for better regional adjustments, while others, such as BARMM’s Hataman, demand elections proceed as scheduled. The debate highlights the tension between local democracy and legal adjustments for the region. Comelec Chair George Garcia clarified that their appeal isn’t pressuring Congress.
