Background

edit

Incumbent Athena Tolentino assumed office as Governor of Cavite after incumbent Jonvic Remulla withdrew his candidacy, after being appointed by President Bongbong Marcos as Secretary of the Department of the Interior and Local Government.[1] Tolentino made history as the youngest provincial governor at 26 years old, and the first woman to assume office. Tolentino originally sought a second term as vice governor, but subsequently withdrew her candidacy. As a result, she will only serve as governor for 9 months and 22 days. Incumbent 7th district board member Francisco Gabriel Remulla, son of former governor, former congressman and current secretary of the Department of Justice Jesus Crispin Remulla filed his certificate of candidacy for governor. Remulla assumed as board member to fill the position vacated by his brother Crispin Diego Remulla upon his election as representative in the special elections held in 2023.[2] Remulla's running mate is incumbent 2nd district board member Ramon Vicente Bautista, son of senator Bong Revilla and incumbent representative Lani Mercado.
