PoliticsElection in Philippines’ Bangsamoro region ends in hung parliament

The first parliamentary election in the southern Philippines’ Muslim-majority Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao has produced no majority winner. Unofficial results show two rival parties linked to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front each won more than 30 percent but fell short of the 41 seats needed in the 80-member parliament. Coalition talks are expected, while security remains heightened after election-day shootings killed at least three people and wounded several others.
