Background
ReferenceThe United Bangsamoro Justice Party (UBJP) is the political party of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), organized by the MILF in 2014 and registered with the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) in May 2015 as its electoral vehicle. It is led by MILF chairman Ahod 'Al Haj Murad' Ebrahim, who served as the first interim chief minister of the MILF-led Bangsamoro Transition Authority from February 2019 to March 2025. COMELEC accredited UBJP as a regional parliamentary party in May 2026 over objections citing its MILF ties, then named it the 2026 election's 'dominant majority party' after it topped the poll body's ranking with 93.14 points for fielding the most candidates and maintaining one of the region's broadest organizational networks. Ebrahim heads the party as it contests the first regular BARMM parliamentary election set for September 14, 2026.
