The Davao Occidental local elections will be held on May 9, 2016 as part of the 2016 general election. Voters will select candidates for all local positions: a town mayor, vice mayor and town councilors, as well as members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, the governor, vice-governor, and representative for the Lone District of Davao Occidental.
Background
The province of Davao Occidental will hold elections for the first time since its creation, and the key positions available are being sought by members of just one family: the Bautistas.
Davao del Sur Governor Claude Bautista has two brothers, Franklin and Joseph, and a sister, Lorna Bautista Bandigan.[1]
Franklin is congressman of the 2nd district of Davao del Sur, while Joseph is on his last term as mayor of Malita town in Davao Occidental. On October 12, she filed her certificate of candidacy for the lone congressional district of Davao Occidental. Bradley Bautista, son of Davao del Sur congressman Franklin, filed for mayor of Malita town, Davao Occidental, seeking to succeed his uncle. Joseph Bautista might run for vice mayor of Davao Occidental.[2]
