Regional Governor Mujiv Hataman led the turnover ceremony of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao to the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) on Tuesday, February 26, at the Shariff Kabunsuan Cultural Complex in Cotabato City.
The BTA is the interim government of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Musim Mindanao. It is composed 80 members appointed by President Rodrigo Duterte, and the elected officials of the ARMM, who will serve until 30 June 2019.
Hataman has begged-off from becoming an automatic member of the BTA because of his intent to focus on serving his constituents in his hometown province of Basilan.
