Local elections were held in Makati on May 13, 2019, within the Philippine general election. The voters will elect for the elective local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, the two Congressmen, and the eight councilors, eight in each of the city's two legislative districts.

Background

[edit]

Incumbent mayor Abigail Binay assumed as Mayor after winning in the 2016 elections. Binay ran after the Office of the Ombudsman dismissed her brother former Mayor Junjun Binay due to the alleged overpricing of Makati City Hall Building II. She is running for reelection under the United Nationalist Alliance. Her main opponent is her brother, Junjun.[1] The former mayor claims that she has a deal with her sister, that she will serve for one term as Mayor. The Ombudsman dismissed Binay due to the Makati City Hall Building II parking lot fiasco and was perpetually disqualified from holding any public office. However, the Commission on Elections reiterates that Binay can still run for Mayor, because the ruling is not yet final and executory.[2] The former mayor has the support of majority of councilors and Barangay Captains in Makati. In an interview on 24 Oras, he will withdraw his candidacy for Mayor if his father, former Vice President Jejomar Binay will run for Mayor.
