[edit]Governor
[edit]Incumbent Edcel Greco Lagman (Partido Federal ng Pilipinas) initially ran for a full term, but withdrew on December 5, 2024, and endorsed former Albay governor Noel Rosal (Partido Demokratiko Pilipino).[1][2] He became governor on December 1, 2022, after Rosal's election as governor in 2022 was nullified by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) for violating a public spending ban during the election.
On October 18, 2024, the Office of the Ombudsman suspended Lagman over graft and corruption charges.[3] Glenda Bongao became acting governor.
Rosal is running against representative Joey Salceda (Lakas–CMD) and Rosaler Sara Jr. (Independent).[4][5][6] On December 27, 2024, the COMELEC disqualified Rosal due to being dismissed from service. However, the Supreme Court ordered on January 21, 2025, to temporarily stop Rosal's disqualification, allowing him to be listed on the ballot.[7]
