# 2019 Navotas local elections

Local elections in Navotas were held on May 13, 2019, within the Philippine general election. The voters elected for the mayor, vice mayor, one congressman, and the councilors – six in each of the city's two districts.

## Background

Incumbent Mayor John Rey Tiangco, who has fulfilled the limit of three terms for the position, ran for the city's congressional seat, switching positions with his brother, former mayor Toby. Incumbent vice-mayor Clint Geronimo is also running for re-election.
They fought against the candidates of Damayan ng Responsableng Mamamayan (DRM Team), a coalition of Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) and Aksyon Demokratiko (Aksyon). They are incumbent 2nd district councilor Dan Israel "DI" Ang (PFP, for mayor), former vice-mayor Lutgardo "Gardy" Cruz's son Raymond "RC" Cruz (Aksyon, for vice mayor) and incumbent 2nd district councilor Marielle del Rosario-Tumangan (Aksyon, for congressman).
The Tiangcos' political party Partido Navoteño (Navoteño) signed an agreement with Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP), the party of Pres. Rodrigo Duterte's daughter Sara Duterte-Carpio for the election.

### Vote buying allegations

On May 12, 2019, NBI agents raided the briefing of poll watchers for Damayan ng Responsableng Mamamayan and Akbayan Party-List at a gymnasium in Barangay Daanghari (2nd District) due to allegations of vote buying. Emilio Marañon III, lawyer of congressional candidate Marielle del Rosario-Tumangan, denied the allegations and called the NBI operation "illegal".
