Over 440,000 people have been affected in Mindanao mostly in BARMM by the Inter-tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and Low Pressure Area (LPA) that brough rains in the country in May and early June. National and local elections in BARMM: Around 23 election related violence were monitored in BARMM during the conduct of national and local elections, affecting 2,940 families, with reported families displaced as home-based. There were 35 people injured and 15 reported deaths from election related violence. Generally, displacement incidents in the Bangsamoro Region are due to longstanding issues on land disputes, often entwined with political rivalry and clan feuds. Military operations against Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs), annual flooding and weather disturbances also trigger cyclical displacements, making displacement situation complex and often protracted.
