A special election for Cebu's 5th district seat in the House of Representatives of the Philippines was held on May 30, 2005.

Background

On 2004, representative Joseph Ace Durano (Lakas-CMD) was appointed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as Department of Tourism. Durano accepted the appointment on November 30, 2004, which caused his seat to be vacated. As a result, the House of Representatives issued a resolution on March 2, 2005 declaring the seat vacant, paving way for the Commission on Elections to call an election on May 30, 2005. Candidates filed their certificates of candidacy from April 22 to 28. Campaign period was from April 29 to May 28.

Result

2005 special election at Cebu's 5th legislative district
Party Candidate Votes %
NPC Ramon Durano VI 113,589 94.94
Independent Dean Severo Dosado 4,345 3.63
Independent Wilfredo Tuadles 1,711 1.43
Total votes 125,263 100.00
Turnout   48.56
NPC gain from Lakas

Durano's brother, Ramon Durano VI of the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC), won convincingly to keep the seat within the Durano family, winning in all 891 polling precincts in the district's ten towns and Danao. His grandfather, Ramon Durano, Sr., previously held the seat. Ramon VI's father, Ramon Durano III, then mayor of Danao, later became congressman and then represented the district for three consecutive terms, before Joseph Ace won. Joseph Ace was on his second term when he was appointed Tourism secretary. Even before the votes were cast, Durano's opponent, Dean Severo Dosado, was quoted as as having said he did not think he was going to win. He and the other candidate, Wilfredo Tuadles, did not field any poll watchers.

Turnout was low (48.56%); Dosado described the election as a "waste of money" and blamed Joseph Ace for it.
