Incumbent Mayor Emmanuel "Manny" Maliksi is term-limited. He was initially floated to be the candidate of the Liberal Party-led Team One Imus (since dissolved) for the congressional post of the city's lone district, but gave way to Adrian Advincula of Team AJAA in the regular district congressional race following their unification talks brokered by Senator Panfilo Lacson.
