Town mayors in Guimaras who will serve in the next 3 years starting June 30, 2025 have for sometime served as local chief executive (LCEs) in their respective municipalities except for mayor-elect John Edward Gando of Jordan, the graduating vice governor.
Gando won over the reelectionist Mayor Cresente Chavez last May 12 elections.
Emmanuel ‘Manny’ Galila of Nueva Valencia reclaims the mayorship after 3 years. The first termer and lawyer Paul Vincent Dela Cruz ran and won as board member of Guimaras district 2, comprising Jordan, Nueva Valencia and Sibunag towns.
The sister-brother showdown in Sibunag town resulted to the former Mayor Luben Vilches edging out his sister 2-term Mayor Anabelle Vilches Samaniego.
In San Lorenzo, former Mayor Jimmy Gajo is LCE once more after the passing of wife Ninfa Gajo late last year who served for two terms as mayor.
In Buenavista, recently upgraded as first class municipality the former governor and reelectionist Mayor Samuel Gumarin firmed up his political mastery of former Mayor Eugenio Reyes with a lopsided win in the last elections.
