Akbayan Party-list, led by human rights lawyer Jose Manuel "Chel" Diokno, emerged as the top vote-getter in the Eleksyon 2025 party-list race with 2,779,621 votes.

The Commission on Elections (Comelec), sitting as the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC), completed the canvassing of votes for senators and party-list groups on Thursday evening.

Duterte Youth secured the second spot with 2,338,564 votes, followed by Tingog Partylist with 1,822,708 votes.
