The leadership of Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD) announced that their party has firmly cemented its position as a dominant political force not only in the House of Representatives but across all elected positions in the country.
Lakas-CMD Executive Director Anna Capella Velasco, said the party’s internal election monitoring system as of yesterday showed that, they have secured 1 senate seat, 104 House seats, 15 gubernatorial seats, 22 vice gubernatorial seats, 24 city mayoralty seats, and 385 municipal mayoralty seats during Monday’s midterm elections.
Reports from 26 areas, according to Velasco, including Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao or BARMM (Lanao del Sur and Maguindanao del Norte), Region IX (Sulu), and Region X (Lanao del Norte) are still being finalized, with updated figures expected in the coming days.
House Speaker Martin Romualdez, the party’s president, called the outcome “a sweeping vote of confidence” in the party’s leadership and commitment to public service.
“This is not just a win for Lakas-CMD. This is a strong signal from the Filipino people: they want steady hands, clear direction, and leadership that puts service above self,” he said.
Romualdez pointed out that the mandate from the people is not something to celebrate lightly—but something to carry with humility and a deeper sense of duty.
“We are being called to do more—to govern better, to listen harder, and to deliver faster. That’s exactly what we intend to do,” the Speaker added.
He underscored that the strength of Lakas-CMD lies not just in its numbers, but in the trust it continues to earn in every province, city, and municipality it serves.
“From the northern tip of Luzon to the southern reaches of Mindanao, the message is the same: the people want continuity, they want performance, and they want public servants they can count on,” Romualdez said.
The Speaker credited the party’s nationwide success to its alignment with the vision of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. under the Bagong Pilipinas agenda.
“We are here not just to win elections, but to change lives. This is the strength of a party that stands for unity, development, and real solutions,” he pointed out.
