Detained Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) Chairman Nur Misuari has been allowed to return to his hometown in the troubled island of Jolo in the southern Philippines, where he is to run for governor in next yearÂ’s elections.

A local court granted Misuari permission to register in Jolo, about about 950 km south of Manila. Misuari was flown to Jolo yesterday with police escorts. His aide Jamasali Abdurahman, who accompanied Misuari, told Arab News on Wednesday that the MNLF chieftain was running for governor of Sulu in next year’s elections.” Misuari, former governor of the six-province Autonomous Region of Muslim Minda-nao, is under house arrest near Manila.
