According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 31,060 people.

Etymology

The municipality was named in honor of the former mayor of Datu Piang, Maguindanao, Datu Saudi Uy Ampatuan who died due to a bomb explosion on December 24, 2002, at Datu Piang Avenue of the said municipality.[1]

History

Datu Saudi Ampatuan was created under Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act No. 151 on July 1, 2003,[2] [3] carved out of the municipality of Datu Piang.

On July 30, 2009, upon the ratification of Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Acts No. 225 (as amended by MMAA 252) and MMAA 222 (as amended by MMAA 253), the municipalities of Shariff Saydona Mustapha and Datu Salibo, respectively, were created from a total of 5 entire barangays and a portion of one barangay from Datu Saudi Ampatuan, in addition to other barangays from Datu Piang, Datu Unsay, Mamasapano and Shariff Aguak.

Datu Saudi Ampatuan mayor Samsudin Dimaukom, publicly accused by Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte of involvement in the illegal drug trade, was killed on October 28, 2016, along with nine others, by Philippine police at a highway checkpoint in what police describe as an anti-drug operation.[4] [5]
