Local elections were held in Cebu City on May 13, 2013 within the Philippine general election. Registered voters of the city elected candidates for the following elective local posts: mayor, vice mayor, district representatives, and eight councilors for each district—there are two legislative districts in the city.
Mayoralty and vice mayoralty elections
Mayor Michael Rama ran for his second term as the Mayor of Cebu City under his newly-formed group Team Rama facing off against his former partymate in Bando Osmeña – Pundok Kauswagan (BO–PK), Tomas Osmeña, whom he served with as vice mayor from 2001 to 2010. Rama went on to defeat Osmeña.
Vice mayor Joy Augustus Young ran for his second term as the Vice Mayor of Cebu City and was defeated by a slim margin against incumbent Cebu City Councilor for the North District Edgardo Labella, who also left BO–PK to join Rama's group. It was Labella's first time to run for the said position.
