COTABATO CITY — The BARMM Grand Coalition (BGC), a regional political force widely seen as pivotal to controlling the first regular parliament of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, reiterated Monday that it remains unaligned with any party or political bloc.
In a statement, the coalition said it continues to engage in dialogue with various groups seeking its support. The BGC's decision on which parties to align with could prove decisive in determining the political composition of the regional parliament.
The coalition's independent posture underscores its strategic importance in Bangsamoro politics. As a key player capable of swinging parliamentary control, the BGC's eventual alignment could significantly reshape the region's political landscape and legislative agenda.
The timing of the BGC's formal coalition decision remains unclear, with the group indicating it will evaluate options as discussions with interested parties progress.
