Background

Incumbents Carmelita Abalos and Anthony Suva are on their second term as Mayor and Vice Mayor of Mandaluyong, respectively; they are thus eligible for a third and final term. On September 23, 2021, Abalos had initially declared her intention to seek reelection, with Suva as her running mate.^[1] However, she gave way to her father-in-law, Benjamin Abalos Sr., and would instead run as his running mate for vice mayor. Suva would instead run for councilor from the 1st District.^[2]^[3] Abalos Sr. served as mayor from 1986 to 1987 as officer-in-charge and from 1988 to 1998. Incumbent Representative and Deputy Speaker Neptali Gonzales II ran for reelection against incumbent 2nd District Councilor Boyett Bacar.
