Local elections were held in the Makati on May 14, 2007, within the 2007 Philippine general election. The voters elected for the elective local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, two district representatives, and councilors, eight in each of the city's two legislative districts.

Background

Incumbents Jejomar Binay and Ernesto Mercado were running for their third consecutive term as mayor and vice mayor of Makati, respectively.[1] Their main opponent, Senator Lito Lapid announced his candidacy for mayoral bid, with second district councilor Nemesio "King" Yabut Jr. as his running mate.[2][3] Should Lapid lose, he would return to the Senate to finish his unexpired term that would last until 2010. The other candidate is businessman Elias Dulalia.
