| Mayoral elections |
|
Local elections were held in Valenzuela on 13 May 2013, within the Philippine general election. The voters elected local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, the two Congressmen (or district representatives), and the councilors, six in each of the city's two legislative districts.
Representative Rexlon Gatchalian, a brother to the current mayor Sherwin, is running for the city mayor's office for the first time. Gatchalian's primary opponent is Adelma Gunigundo, wife of the incumbent second district representative Magtanggol Gunigundo.
Gatchalian's running mate is vice mayor Eric Martinez, who has served since 2007; if he wins, he will have his term limited in 2016. First district councilor Katherine Pineda-Hernandez is Gunigundo's running mate.
The election was won by Gatchalian and Martinez for the local posts.
