2007 Valenzuela local elections

Local elections were held in the city of Valenzuela on May 14, 2007, within the Philippine general election. The voters voted for the elective local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, two Congressmen, and the councilors—six in each of the city's two legislative districts.

Election results

The winners of the congressional, mayoral and vice mayoral seats of Valenzuela City are determined with the highest number of votes received. These positions are voted for separately, so there is a possibility that the winning officials come from different political parties.

Mayoral election

Incumbent Sherwin Gatchalian ran for re-election. His primary opponent was former mayor Jose Emmanuel "Bobbit" Carlos.

Vice mayoral election

Incumbent Antonio Espiritu ran for reelection. His main opponent was incumbent 2nd district councilor Eric Martinez.

Congressional elections

First district

Incumbent representative Bobbit Carlos ran for mayor. His seat will be contested by incumbent mayor Sherwin's brother, Rexlon, and barangay councilor Eddie Lozada.

Second district

Incumbent representative Antonio Serapio died in a car crash on February 19, 2007. His seat will be contested by former representative Magi Gunigundo and Wes Gatchalian, brother of incumbent mayor Win and Rex.

City council elections

The voters in the city are set to elect six councilors on the district where they are living, hence registered. Candidates are voted separately so there are chances where winning candidates will have unequal number of votes and may come from different political parties.
