Local elections were held in Naga City on May 13, 2013, within the Philippine general election. The voters voted for the elective local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, and ten councilors.
In 2013, the Liberal Party dominated the local elections in Naga City, winning the mayoralty, vice mayoralty, and a majority of the city council seats. The city is widely regarded as a stronghold of the Robredo family and the Liberal Party, with voters consistently supporting LP-aligned candidates at both the local and national levels. [1]
Then-Congresswoman Leni Robredo, the widow of the late former mayor and Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo, was elected to the Philippine House of Representatives in 2013, representing the 3rd District of Camarines Sur. Her victory further cemented the Robredo family's influence in the city.
