Local elections were held in Sarangani on May 13, 2013, within the Philippine general election. Voters selected candidates for all local positions: a town mayor, vice mayor and town councilors, as well as members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, the vice-governor, governor and a representative for the lone district of Sarangani. Incumbent governor Miguel Rene Dominguez was barred for seeking another term because of the three-term limit for governors.

Background

On September 9, 2011, although allowed to seek another term, Filipino eight-division world boxing champion and incumbent Representative Manny Pacquiao announced his intention to run for governor.[1] He also announced that he will trade positions with incumbent governor Miguel Rene Dominguez who was completing his third term and was not allowed to seek another term.[2]

On April 14, 2012, Pacquiao left the Liberal Party and joined the PDP-Laban.[3] Pacquiao became a member of the Liberal Party faction of then Manila Mayor Lito Atienza. He then ran for representative of the 1st District of South Cotabato. However, he lost to then representative and incumbent General Santos mayor Darlene Antonino-Custodio. He then joined the Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino of then President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. In 2010, he ran again as representative of the lone district of Sarangani under the People's Champ Movement which is affiliated with the Nacionalista Party and won over the Chiongbian clan. He then moved to Liberal Party along with other elected representatives.

On October 2, 2012, Pacquiao decided to run for reelection as representative of Sarangani. His wife, Jinkee Pacquiao filed her candidacy for vice governor.[4] She is the running mate of incumbent vice governor Steve Solon.
