Background
ReferenceThe Bangsamoro Federalist Party (BFP) is a newly formed regional party contesting BARMM's first parliamentary elections, having held its inaugural general assembly and party convention on April 2, 2026 in Davao City. It describes itself as 'a unifying force representing a broad coalition of stakeholders', is chaired and led as president by Member of Parliament Tomanda Antok, with fellow Member of Parliament and lawyer Naguib Sinarimbo as its spokesperson. The party filed for registration with the Bangsamoro Electoral Office to contest the September 14, 2026 polls and claims the backing of most municipal mayors across several BARMM provinces. In July 2026 the Commission on Elections, through Resolution No. 11248, designated the BFP the 'dominant minority' regional parliamentary party after it scored 88.25 points, second to the United Bangsamoro Justice Party's 93.14.
