Notes

  1. Elected mayor Khadafeh Mangudadatu was jailed over murder charges. There are two claimants who insist they are the municipal mayor:
    • Elected vice mayor Zihan M. Mangudadatu who assumed the position of acting mayor following the arrest of her husband.
    • Mohajeran Balayman who contested the 2022 local election results, where Khadafeh Mangudadatu originally won.
    The Regional Trial Court Branch 15 ruled on October 14 in favor of Balayman. The Ministry of the Interior and Local Government (MILG) under Naguib Sinarimbo recognize Zihan MAngudadatu as acting mayor due to the ruling being issued after Khadafeh Mangudadatu was already detained. Maguindanao del Sur Governor Mariam Mangudadatu recognizes Balayman.[2]
