Cotabato City Mayor Mohammad Ali “Bruce” Matabalao has officially resigned from the United Bangsamoro Justice Party (UBJP). This move comes just three months before the Bangsamoro Parliamentary Elections scheduled for September 14.
The UBJP, the political wing of the former rebel group Moro Islamic Liberation Front, had supported Matabalao's successful mayoral campaign in 2022. In his resignation letter, the mayor cited prayer and reflection, including during his Hajj pilgrimage, as reasons for his decision, stating it was made "never lightly" and with a desire for what is best for Cotabato City and the Bangsamoro region.
The mayor's departure from the dominant regional political party ahead of crucial elections raises questions about the political landscape and potential shifts in alliances within the Bangsamoro region.
