Her province was dissolved following the 2022 Maguindanao division plebiscite on September 17, 2022, and she was supposed to become acting governor of the new Maguindanao del Sur province.[5] However this was uncertain, since the relevant provision presumes that the plebiscite would be held before the May 2022 national elections but the division vote was postponed after that date.[6][7] She assumed the position and took her oath as governor of the new province on October 13.[8] She would take oath again before President Bongbong Marcos after she was named Officer in Charge (OIC) of the province on April 5, 2023.[9]

Notes
  1. Maguindanao was abolished following the 2022 plebiscite on September 17, 2022 to divide it into Maguindanao del Sur and Maguindanao del Norte. However Mangudadatu continued to exercise the position[1] until the officials for both provinces including the governor were determined.
