Legazpi City’s election this May 2019 will not be as exciting as the election a decade ago. Incumbent Mayor Noel Rosal has no formidable challenger — only the lesser known independent candidate Emmanuel Nabor. Oscar Cristobal has likewise no opponent for vice mayor.

In the race for the legislative seats, seven of the ten councilors are running leaving only three seats up for grabs.

Rosal and his line-up are running under Partido-Demokratiko Pilipino Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) hopping from 2016’s Liberal Party.
