The incumbent vice mayor, Jerry "Sambo" Yaokasin, ran as independent. He was opposed by Ramon Tolibas, Jr. from the National Unity Party.

The number of candidates for this election is less than half than the number of candidates for the 2013 election. Some potential candidates did not have enough campaign funds due to the impact of Super Typhoon Yolanda in the city.[4]
