Local elections were held in the city of Valenzuela on May 14, 2007, within the Philippine general election. The voters voted for the elective local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, two Congressmen, and the councilors—six in each of the city's two legislative districts.

Election results

The winners of the congressional, mayoral and vice mayoral seats of Valenzuela City are determined with the highest number of votes received. These positions are voted for separately, so there is a possibility that the winning officials come from different political parties.
