The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) in the Philippines is holding its first parliamentary election since it was established in 2018. The vote will officially mark the end of the transition period under an interim regional government appointed in 2019. The election is the outcome of decades of armed conflict and negotiations between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the government of the Philippines. Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology Associate Professor Yasmira Moner joined The World to discuss the landmark vote.
