History

Formerly known as Sultan Gumander, the municipality was renamed in 2006 pursuant to Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act No. 175 dated December 16, 2004,[5] which was ratified through a plebiscite conducted by the Commission of Elections on March 25, 2006.[6]

Alinader Dagar Balindong is the incumbent mayor. He was elected thrice as mayor in 1998 up to 2004. He runs as vice mayor in 2007 as unopposed candidate. Mayor Tanaun as he fondly called by his constituents is the son of great old man of the Balindong clan then Mayor of Malabang Sultan Amir Macaorao Balindong. Siblings of Mayor Tanaun includes the former Congressman and House Deputy Speaker, Atty. Pangalian Balindong of 2nd district of Lanao del Sur and the incumbent Vice Mayor of Malabang, Lanao del Sur. This Balindong family is dominating the political landscape of the 2nd district of Lanao del Sur.
