A new pre-election survey conducted by RMN Networks and Oculum Research and Analytics showed that at least 10 party-list groups were likely to secure a seat in the House of Representatives in the 2025 elections.
The survey, which was conducted nationwide from Dec. 16 to 22, 2024, revealed that the leading party-list groups were 4Ps (15.6%), ACT-CIS (8.1%), Uswag Ilonggo (5.6%), Duterte Youth (4.2%), and Tingog (3.5%).
The other party-list groups that met the 2% threshold needed to win at least one seat in the upcoming party-list election are Gabriela (3.2%), Tupad (3.1%), Senior Citizens (2.8%), Malasakit@Bayanihan (2.1%), and Ako Bisaya (2.0%).
The 2025 elections will decide the winners of 63 party-list seats, with the Commission on Elections accrediting 156 party-list groups.
Dr. Racidon Bernarte, head of research at Oculum, stated that the data reveals a “fragmented field with few dominant choices, emphasizing the diverse and localized nature of voter preferences.”
“The party-list election is characterized by a fragmented field where only a few groups have managed to capture substantial voter preference. The high awareness levels of many groups do not necessarily translate into votes, underscoring the importance of not just visibility but also a strong, resonant advocacy that aligns with voter priorities,” he said.
This survey was conducted through face-to-face interviews in the key areas of National Capital Region (NCR), Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. It had a margin of error of +/- 3% at a 95% confidence level.
This survey marked the first partnership between RMN Networks and Oculum covering topics such as electoral preferences, national issues and public satisfaction.
This survey was also conducted in partnership with Asia-Pacific Consortium of Researchers and Educators (APCoRE), a professional organization of academics and researchers, Areopagus Communications Inc., and PressOne.PH. Leigh San Diego
