[edit]

Incumbents Jejomar Binay and Ernesto Mercado were running for their third consecutive term as mayor and vice mayor of Makati, respectively.[1] Their main opponent, Senator Lito Lapid announced his candidacy for mayoral bid, with second district councilor Nemesio Yabut Jr. as his running mate.[2][3] Should Lapid lose, he would return to the Senate to finish his unexpired term that would last until 2010. The other candidate is businessman Elias Dulalia.
