2025 Philippine general election
Updated: 12/10/2025, 8:54:33 PM Wikipedia source
The 2025 Philippine general election was held on May 12, 2025. During this midterm election, where the winners take office mid-way through the term of President Bongbong Marcos, all 317 seats in the House of Representatives and 12 of the 24 seats in the Senate were contested to form the 20th Congress of the Philippines. Local elections were also held for the executive and legislative branches in every province, city, and municipality in the country. The first regular election to the Bangsamoro Parliament was supposed to be held within the general election after it was postponed in 2022 but will now be held on October 13, 2025. This was the first general election to be held following the 2023 Philippine barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections. This election was also the first automated election to be overseen by the South Korean firm Miru Systems after the Commission of Elections (COMELEC) disqualified Smartmatic from participating in future elections. Lakas–CMD remained the most dominant party inside the House of Representatives, as 104 of its congressional candidates in the 2025 midterm elections had secured seats for the 20th Congress, adding they would continue to support the presidential administration of Marcos. Only six of the twelve elected senators are from the Marcos alliance; of those six, one (Camille Villar) is only partly in his camp, as she also accepted endorsement from Sara Duterte. Four of the elected senators are in the Duterte camp, including the president's sister Imee Marcos. Two were in the top three vote-winners, ahead of any Marcos candidate. The elections are likely to have an effect on the impeachment of Sara Duterte. This general election saw a turnout of 82.2%, the highest for a midterm election, with 57,350,968 ballots being cast from 69,673,653 registered voters.
