Ifugao's at-large congressional district is the sole congressional district of the Philippines for the province of Ifugao. The district was created ahead of the 1969 House elections after the former Mountain Province was divided into the provinces of Benguet, Mountain Province, Ifugao, and Kalinga-Apayao in 1966.^[3] It has been represented in the House of Representatives since the 7th Congress from 1969 to 1972, in the Regular Batasang Pambansa, the unicameral parliament that replaced the House of Representatives from 1984 to 1986, and in the restored House from the 8th Congress onwards.

The district served as an electoral district in the 1971 Constitutional Convention, with two delegates representing Ifugao at-large.^[4]

It is currently represented in the 20th Congress by Solomon Chungalao of the Nationalist People's Coalition.^[5]

History

The district was first represented in the restored House by Gualberto Lumauig, the first governor of Ifugao, who was elected in 1987 to the 8th Congress.^[6] He was defeated in 1992 by incumbent governor Benjamin Cappleman, who served three consecutive terms until 2001.^[7] Cappleman was succeeded by Solomon Chungalao, who also served for three consecutive terms until 2010.

In 2010, Governor Teddy Baguilat was elected to the district's seat as a member of the Liberal Party.^[8] He was later nominated in the 2016 election for speaker but was defeated by Pantaleon Alvarez of PDP–Laban.^[9]

Chungalao was re-elected in 2019 and subsequently won successive terms in 2022 and 2025. He currently represents the district in the 20th Congress.
