2016 Philippine general election

The party began the campaign for the 2016 Philippine General Elections on June 24, 2015. [5] On October 12, 2015, Rizalito "Lito" David who previously ran for senate in the party in 2010 and 2013, filed his Certificate of Candidacy as presidential candidate of the party, with Albert Alba as his running mate. Alba is a certified public accountant who previously worked for Sycip Gorres Velayo & Company. [6] On October 15, 2015, the party's six senatorial candidates filed their Certificates of Candidacy. [7] In a press conference on October 26, the party officially announced that they would not endorse their candidates because the AKP planned to boycott the elections and advocate for change into the parliamentary system and to bring federalism in the country. [8] After David announced that candidates would instead run under the newly established Koalisyong Katoliko Kristiyano party as the AKP's successor, the party expelled David and Alba. [9] The electoral commission ruled David a nuisance candidate and disqualified him and Alba. [10]

On the local level, Ang Kapatiran fielded candidates in Las Piñas, Batangas City, Batangas, and in Luisiana, Laguna. Among them, only Raya Fe Arca, who ran for Luisiana, Laguna councilor, won. [15]
