ISABELA CITY, Basilan, May 9 (PNA) – Gov. Mujiv Hataman of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) has led the 1.8 million registered voters in the region in choosing the leaders of the country for the next six years.

Several supporters, while chanting, have lined up along the roadside as they saw Hataman arrived in the nearby municipality of Sumisip, his hometown, to cast his vote.

Amir Mawallil, ARMM’s Bureau of Public Information (BPI-ARMM) director, said Hataman voted around 9:30 a.m. Monday in Barangay Buli-Buli, Sumisip.

Mawallil, who accompanied the regional governor, said Hataman is a registered voter of Precinct No. 0091A.

Hataman is seeking re-election under the administration’s Liberal Party (LP).

Hataman is known for the reforms and development projects implemented in this province as well as in the entire ARMM under his administration.

Last March, Hataman accompanied President Benigno Simeon Aquino III who led the inauguration of the Basilan circumferential road.

The construction of the circumferential road started several years ago and was completed during the presidency of Aquino and governorship of Hataman.
