ISAMA

The Indigenous, Settlers, Sama and Minorities Alliance Party (ISAMA) is a regional parliamentary party in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, framed as an alliance representing non-Moro Indigenous peoples, settler communities, the Sama people and other minorities. It was organized by Jamar Kulayan, who serves as its chairperson, alongside founding figures including Nafeesur Rahman Suhod and Danny Sahi. Ahead of the 2026 election it petitioned the Commission on Elections for registration and accreditation as a regional parliamentary party and was subsequently accredited. For the party-representative contest, ISAMA fielded only a partial slate of 14 nominees against the 40-nominee maximum — three of them women, below the 30 percent benchmark set under the Bangsamoro Electoral Code — and no chief-minister nominee is identified in the official nominees listing.
