Mushawara

The People's Consultative (Mushawara) Party is one of the accredited regional parliamentary parties contesting the September 14, 2026 Bangsamoro Parliament election, the region's first regular parliamentary polls. Its registered English name, 'People's Consultative Party', reflects the idea of consultation carried by the Arabic-derived term 'mushawara'. The party competes only in the proportional-representation contest for the 40 party-representative seats, fielding a full slate of 40 nominees headed by Alipikre Basher, 13 of them women. Its path to the ballot was uneven: the Commission on Elections initially dismissed its accreditation petition in late April 2026 for failing to meet a documentary requirement, but it was subsequently accredited and appears among the 13 parties on the tentative list published May 13, 2026. No detailed platform, founding history, or chief-minister preference was reported in accessible sources.
