Background

Reference

The Bangsamoro Empowerment and Social Transformation Party (BEST) is a regional parliamentary party contesting the first Bangsamoro Parliament election in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. It is led by president Al-Rashid Balt, who concurrently serves as director general of the Bangsamoro Ministry of Public Order and Safety and heads the party's slate as its top nominee. The Commission on Elections accredited BEST as one of nine 'major' regional parliamentary parties, a tier below the designated dominant majority (United Bangsamoro Justice Party) and dominant minority (Bangsamoro Federalist Party). It contests both proportional-representation and single-district seats with a full slate of 40 party-list nominees, and registered the highest number of women of any party — 19 female nominees, nearly half its slate.
