Local elections was held in the City of Manila on May 14, 2001, within the Philippine general election. The voters elected for the elective local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, the six Congressmen, and the councilors, six in each of the city's six legislative districts.[1]

Background

When Alfredo Lim lost the presidential race in 1998, he established the local party then known as Katarungan, Kapayapaan at Kaunlaran–Laban or KKK–Laban for his mayoral comeback in 2001.[2] He chose Manila Fifth District Councilor Roger Gernale as his running mate.[2]

Lito Atienza will run for his second term with Ernesto Dionisio Sr. as his running mate. Congressman Amado Bagatsing also run as mayor, creating a tandem with incumbent vice mayor Danny Lacuna.
