Party before election

PDP–Laban

Elected Party

PDP–Laban

Gubernatorial elections were held in the Philippines on May 9, 2022. All provinces will elect their provincial governors for three-year terms, who will be inaugurated on June 30, 2022 after their proclamation. Governors that are currently serving their third consecutive terms are prohibited from running as governors (they may run for any other posts however).

Contents

Highly urbanized cities and independent component cities such as Baguio, Cebu City and Davao City and Metro Manila with the municipality of Pateros are outside the jurisdiction of any province and thus do not run elections for governors of their mother provinces (Benguet, Cebu and Davao del Sur respectively). These cities and Pateros elect mayors instead.

Governor Roel Degamo is going up against vice governor Edward Mark Macias and Bayawan mayor Pryde Henry Teves. [39] Degamo was allowed by the COMELEC to seek re-election despite completing three consecutive terms. On his defense, Degamo claimed that his three terms in office were interrupted a number of times following suspension and dismissal orders by the Office of the Ombudsman over cases of intelligence and calamity fund use filed against him. [40] [41] [42]

On December 16, 2021, the Commission on Elections (Second Division), through a resolution, declared Grego Gaudia as a nuisance candidate and cancelled his candidacy, citing that he used the name "Ruel Degamo", which later appeared in the ballots, to confuse the voters. He later filed a motion for reconsideration, allowing him to run; but it was denied by the COMELEC en banc on September 1, 2022. [43] With the commission finalizing its decision on Gaudia and crediting his votes to Degamo, on October 3, Degamo was proclaimed as the elected candidate. [44] [45]

Despite the decision, the Supreme Court issued a temporary restraining order, allowing Mangudadatu to run. He would be elected as the issue remains unresolved. [69] [70]
