Local elections will held in the province of Cavite on Monday, May 12, 2025, as part of the 2025 Philippine general election. Voters will select candidates for all local positions: a municipal and city mayor, vice mayor and councilors, as well as members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, the governor, vice governor and representatives for the eight districts of Cavite.
Incumbent Governor Jonvic Remulla and Vice Governor Athena Tolentino initially intended to seek reelection in 2025, having filed their certificates of candidacy on October 1, 2024. However, they withdrew their candidacies on October 7, 2024, as Remulla would be appointed by President Bongbong Marcos as Secretary of the Department of the Interior and Local Government on the next day. [1] Tolentino made history as the youngest provincial governor at 26 years old, and the first woman to assume office. As a result, she will only serve as governor for nine months and 22 days as she has decided not to run for any other position. Imus councilor Shernan Jaro took over the vice governorship, but he is still seeking reelection for his previous post. [2]
Incumbent seventh district board member Francisco Gabriel Remulla, son of former governor and incumbent secretary of the Department of Justice Jesus Crispin Remulla filed his certificate of candidacy for governor. Remulla assumed as board member to fill the position vacated by his brother Crispin Diego Remulla upon his election as representative in the special elections held in 2023. [3] Remulla's running mate is incumbent second district board member Ramon Vicente Bautista, son of former governor and incumbent senator Bong Revilla and incumbent representative Lani Mercado.
Incumbent Athena Tolentino, who assumed post after the appointment of Jonvic Remulla as DILG Secretary, initially ran for vice governor but later withdrew her candidacy with Remulla and decided not to run for any other position. Her party nominated incumbent board member Francisco Gabriel Remulla.
