Local elections were held in Davao City on May 8, 1995, as part of theÃÂ 1995 Philippine general election. The voters elected for the elective local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, three congressional representatives and 24 city councilors, eight in each of the city's three legislative districts.
Incumbent mayor Rodrigo Duterte ran for a third term virtually unopposed, facing only one opponent, Magdaleno Marcellones, whom he derisively described as a "worthy opponent" during the campaign.
For the vice mayoral race, incumbent vice mayor Luis Bonguyan of LakasâÂÂNUCDâÂÂUMDP faced former city administrator Benjamin de Guzman of Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino. With Duterte's political group divided between Bonguyan and de GuzmanâÂÂwho were both closely identified with DuterteâÂÂde Guzman won the election over Bonguyan.
