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, reviving their 1998 tandem with incumbent vice mayor Danny Lacuna.
