The interim Bangsamoro Parliament's mandate was supposed to end on June 30, 2022, as per the Bangsamoro Organic Law, but this was extended to 2025 by law passed by President Rodrigo Duterte whose presidency ended on the same day the interim parliament is supposed to be dissolved.[9]
Duterte's successor President Bongbong Marcos appointed a new set of members for the interim parliament. 49 were reappointed while are 31 new members. The composition of 41 MILF nominees and 39 government nominees were still retained. The MILF nominees include people associated with the MNLF — eight from the Sema-Jikiri faction and seven from the Nur Misuari's faction. Misuari's group became part of the parliament for the first time.[10]
The BTA under President Marcos would be informally referred to as "BTA2" while the BTA under Duterte became retroactively known as "BTA1".[11]
An inaugural session with the new set of members appointed by Marcos was held on September 15, 2022. A new set of officials was elected as well, including Pangalian Balindong who was again elected as speaker.[8] Additional officers were elected and the minority and majority leader position were abolished on the first regular session on September 20, 2022.[6]
When Sulu was excluded from the Bangsamoro in September 2024 via a Supreme Court decision, the status of MPs based in Sulu was put into question. Only President Bongbong Marcos can decide on their tenure.[12]
