Comelec proclaims 52 winning party-list groups
The Freeman
|May 20, 2025
The Commission on Elections has proclaimed 52 winning party-lists in the 2025 midterm elections, while deferring the proclamation of two others due to pending disqualification cases.
Together, the 52 groups will occupy 59 of the 63 House seats reserved for party-list representatives.
The remaining four seats hinge on the Comelec’s ruling on Duterte Youth’s and Bagong Henerasyon’s (BH) cases, which overall account for those four seats.
Similar to early projections, the top three party-lists will each secure three seats, followed by the next three with two seats each. Those ranked 7th to 54th will receive one seat in the 20th Congress.
However, if both Duterte Youth and BH party-lists are disqualified, those ranked 55th to 58th may be granted one seat each. These include Gabriela Women’s Party, Abono, Ang Probinsyano and Murang Kuryente.
Akbayan and Tingog are the only two party-lists confirmed to secure three seats — a gain from previous elections.
