Former representative and 2022 mayoral candidate Edgar Erice was expected to challenge Cajayon-Uy for the seat for the fourth time, with him winning the two previous contests (2013 and 2016).[6] However, on November 22, 2024, he was disqualified by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) Second Division for "propagating false information across multiple platforms" in regards to his accusations against Comelec and Miru Systems of election rigging.[12][13] His disqualification was deemed final by the Comelec en banc on December 27,[14] but in January 2025, the Supreme Court issued a TRO in favor of Erice against the Comelec disqualification order.[15]
