Election 2013 Manila City Edition

In the nation’s capital, two political bigwigs vie for the mayoralty post in a contest dubbed as “Dirty Harry vs Asiong Salonga“. Incumbent Mayor Alfredo Lim [LP], seeking a second term, go head-to-head against former President Joseph Estrada [UNA]. Last May 8, 2012, Estrada moved to Manila from San Juan City, where he served as mayor from 1969 to 1986. 

Vice Mayor Isko Domagoso [UNA], however, shifted allegiance and chose to run alongside Estrada. This prompted Lim to pick 2010 elections topnotcher, 6th District Coun. Lou Veloso [KKK], a former actor like Domagoso, as his running-mate.
All six re-electionist Representatives are under Mayor Lim’s LP-KKK ticket, but 23 of 28 re-electionist councilors are part of Estrada’s UNA line-up.

Names in italics are incumbent candidates running for re-election.
