In a statement following the proclamation, Governor-elect Mastura said, "Now that the election is over, it is time for reconciliation, and I offer my hand of peace to my political rivals."
After their proclamation, the newly elected officials paid a visit to Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) chair Ahod Balawag Ebrahim at his Camp Darapanan office to express their gratitude for his support. The UBJP president played a significant role in their campaign.
The proclamation also included the winning candidates for the provincial board.
Maguindanao del Norte, created in September 2022 following a plebiscite that divided the former Maguindanao province, now has its first set of elected provincial leaders. The election marks a significant step in the province's development as a newly established political entity.
Mastura served as member of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) Parliament from 2019 to 2022.
