Abdusakur "Sakur" Mahail Tan (born July 13, 1950 in Maimbung) is a Filipino politician and current governor of Sulu Province in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. He previously served as the Vice Governor of Sulu.
Tan is of Chinese-Tausug descent and was born on July 13, 1950, in Maimbung, Sulu, the eldest child of Abubakar Tan (former mayor of Maimbung) and Satriya Mahail. He attended high school at the Notre Dame of Jolo for Boys and obtained a bachelor's degree in 1983 from the Notre Dame of Jolo College.
He is married to Nurunisah Abubakar-Tan, former Vice Governor of Sulu (daughter of former Jolo mayor Habib Aminkandra N. Abubakar) and has five children.[1]
Tan established a political base in Jolo by aligning himself with the Abubakar and Isquerdo families. He served first as a municipal councilor of Jolo (1981–87), then as the representative of Sulu's first congressional district (1987–1992) and as governor (1996–2001).[2] He lost the 2001 election to MNLF leader Yusop Jikiri but won the governorship a second time in 2007 with 110,715 votes, according to COMELEC data.[3] In 2010 he won re-election, beating rivals Munir Arbison and Nur Misuari by over 24,000 votes.[4]
Tan was among 12 persons injured when an improvised explosive device (IED) exploded at the arrival area of Zamboanga International Airport in August 2010. The attack was suspected to target Tan himself. The explosion occurred a few days after a suspected member of the regional terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), Edgar Malaydan, was arrested in Monkayo, Compostela Valley.[5]
On May 18, 2024, Tan announced that he would forego another term as governor in the 2025 local election and challenge Murad Ebrahim as Chief Minister of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao in concurrent parliamentary elections during a rally in Maimbung. He received support from the Bangsamoro Grand Coalition composed of the Serbisyong Inklusibo-Alyansang Progresibo Party, Al-Ittihad–UKB Party, Tan’s Salam Party, and the Bangsamoro People’s Party.[6]
