Despite voters ratifying ''Batas Pambansa Blg. 885'', on July 11, 1986, the [[Supreme Court of the Philippines|Supreme Court]] declared the law and the proclamation of the province null and void. The ruling states the enabling law was unconstitutional for, among other things, not including the rest of Negros Occidental in the plebiscite, and the proposed province not meeting the 3,500 square kilometer land area requirement of the 1983 Local Government Code.<ref name="ndn2">{{Cite web |title=G.R.

The Act created a new province, comprising all the municipalities in the [[Legislative districts of Maguindanao#1st District|first congressional district of Maguindanao]] (except [[Cotabato City]]), with its capital at [[Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao|Datu Odin Sinsuat]]. The province's creation was approved on October 28, 2006, by a majority vote in a [[2006 Shariff Kabunsuan creation plebiscite|plebiscite]]. Responding to requests for clarification as to which congressional districts form Shariff Kabunsuan for the [[2007 Philippine general election|2007 elections]] (specifically whether Cotabato City was part of the representation of the new province), [[Commission on Elections (Philippines)|COMELEC]] issued ''Resolution No. 7845'', which initially held Cotabato City to be the sole remaining [[Local government unit|LGU]] in the First District of Maguindanao. COMELEC later amended this with ''Resolution No. 7902'', which maintained the ''status quo'' before the province's creation. The COMELEC resolutions became the subject of [[Sema v. COMELEC and Dilangalen|a case]] in which the Supreme Court opined that because "''the power to create new a province or city inherently involves the power to create a legislative district''"—a power that [[Congress of the Philippines|Congress]] did not explicitly delegate to the ARMM Regional Assembly—the creation of a province by a lower legislative body (the ARMM Regional Assembly) will necessarily entail the creation of a legislative district for a higher legislative body (Congress). Therefore, on July 16, 2008, the Supreme Court declared Section 19, Article VI of ''RA No. 9054'' unconstitutional, ''MMA Act No. 201'' void, and ''COMELEC Resolution No. 7902'' valid.<ref name="svc">[http://sc.judiciary.gov.ph/jurisprudence/2008/july2008/177597.htm G.R.
