Faisal Mangondato

Mangondato would run for president in the 2022 elections under KPP once again. His running-mate was Carlos Serapio who was aiming to be his vice president. His platform include the shift to a federal form of government for the Philippines to address what he sees as inefficiency of the delivery of government services in Mindanao despite the formation of the Bangsamoro atuonomous region in 2019, the appointment of experienced undersecretaries to the Cabinet, and prioritize the rebuilding of Marawi which was left heavily destroyed after the 2017 siege. His campaign also sought endorsement from incumbent President Rodrigo Duterte banking on his platforms and having no prior "fault" or "bad record" towards his government. Mangondato lost in the elections but managed to secure the majority of votes in Lanao del Sur, beating frontrunners Bongbong Marcos and Leni Robredo in his home province.

Mangondato is Muslim and an ethnic Maranao. His parents died after seeking refuge in Balo-i as a result of the 2017 Siege of Marawi.

Mangondato has made several failed bids to get elected to various positions. In the 2016 elections, he ran for governor of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. He participated at the 2019 Senate elections as a candidate under the Katipunan ng Kamalayang Kayumanggi (KPP). He failed to win a seat.
