General elections were held for the first time on February 12, 1990, in the newly createdAutonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao for the regional governor and vice governor.

The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao region was first created on August 1, 1989, through Republic Act No. 6734 otherwise known as the Organic Act in pursuance with a constitutional mandate to provide for an autonomous area in Muslim Mindanao. A plebiscite was held in the provinces ofBasilan,Cotabato,Davao del Sur,Lanao del Norte,Lanao del Sur,Maguindanao,Palawan,South Cotabato,Sultan Kudarat,Sulu,Tawi-Tawi,Zamboanga del Norte andZamboanga del Sur; and in thecities ofCotabato,Dapitan,Dipolog,General Santos,Iligan,Marawi,Pagadian,Puerto Princesa andZamboanga to determine if the residents would want to be part of the ARMM. Of the areas where the plebiscites were held onlyLanao del Sur,Maguindanao,Sulu andTawi-Tawi voted favorably for inclusion in the new autonomous region.

The proclamation of Candao as governor and Loong as vice-governor was disputed by candidateAli Dimaporo. However, the Commission on Elections dismissed the candidates appeals as lacking merit on March 21, 1990 while theSupreme Court of the Philippines lifted their restraining order on said proclamation on June 26, 1990.^[2]
