Local elections took place in Nueva Ecija on Monday, May 13, 2022, as part of the 2019 Philippine general election. Held concurrently with the national elections, the electorate voted to elect a governor, a vice governor, fourteen provincial board members and four district representatives to congress. Those elected took their respective offices on June 30, 2019 for a three-year-long term.[1]
Former governor Aurelio Umali won the governorship against former General Tinio mayor Virgilio Bote, who was backed by Rodrigo Duterte’s party PDP-Laban, and former governor Eduardo “Edno” Joson. In addition, Aurelio’s brother, Dr. Emmanuel Umali, defeated former vice governor Edward Joson in the race for vice governor.[2][3]
Electoral system
The governor and vice governor is elected via the plurality voting system province-wide.The members are elected via plurality-at-large voting: the province is divided into four districts, the first and fourth districts sending three members each, while the second and third districts sending two members each to the provincial board; the number of candidates the electorate votes for and the number of winning candidates depends on the number of members their district sends. The vice governor is the ex officio presiding officer, and only votes to break ties.
