10 party-list groups lead 2024 Q4 Oculum survey

At least 10 party-list groups are poised to secure at least one seat in the House of Representatives, based on a 2024 fourth-quarter survey conducted by Oculum Research and Analytics in partnership with RMN Networks.

The nationwide pre-election survey, conducted from December 16 to 22, 2024, revealed that the following party-list groups were the top choices of respondents: 4Ps (15.6%), ACT-CIS (8.1%), Uswag Ilonggo (5.6%), Duterte Youth (4.2%), and Tingog (3.5%).

Other groups with strong showings included Gabriela (3.2%), Tupad (3.1%), Senior Citizens (2.8%), Malasakit@Bayanihan (2.1%), and Ako Bisaya (2.0%).

Party-list groups must secure a minimum of 2% of the vote to earn at least one seat in the party-list system.

“The party-list election is characterized by a fragmented field where only a few groups have managed to capture substantial voter preference," said Dr. Racidon Bernarte, head of research at Oculum Research and Analytics and managing director of the Asia-Pacific Consortium of Researchers and Educators (APCoRe).

He further noted, "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.”

The Commission on Elections has accredited 156 party-list groups to vie for a total of 63 party-list seats in the House of Representatives.

The Oculum-RMN Networks survey involved face-to-face interviews in the key areas of the National Capital Region (NCR), Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The survey has a margin of error of ±3% at a 95% confidence level. — DVM, GMA Integrated News
