Mandaue

Mayor

Incumbent Mayor Glenn Bercede of One Cebu ran for vice mayor of Mandaue. He became mayor on October 4, 2024, after the Office of the Ombudsman dismissed Jonas Cortes for the illegal operation of a cement batching plant.[40]

One Cebu nominated former Mandaue mayor Jonas Cortes, who was defeated by provincial board member Jonkie Ouano of Lakas–CMD. Two other candidates ran for mayor.[41][32][42]

Cortes' dismissal as mayor by the Office of the Ombudsman disqualified him from the election. However, the Supreme Court ordered on October 22, 2024, for the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) to put Cortes' disqualification on hold.[34]

On December 27, 2024, the COMELEC cancelled Cortes' candidacy for failing to disclose about his dismissal.[43] The Supreme Court temporarily prevented the COMELEC from cancelling Cortes' candidacy on January 20, 2025.[44]
