Belmonte faced a challenge from eight other candidates; including representative Mike Defensor of the Malayang Quezon City coalition.[14] Defensor was endorsed by UniTeam senatorial candidate Herbert Bautista and presidential candidate Bongbong Marcos, despite that the former was his rival for his first run as a mayor last 2010.

2nd District edit
Another Lakas-CMD-affiliated incumbent, Precious Hipolito-Castelo, lost in her reelection bid at the hands of independent Ralph Tulfo, son of broadcaster and Senator Raffy Tulfo. Four other independents also ran.
3rd District edit
Incumbent Allan Benedict Reyes lost his seat to his former ally, incumbent councilor Franz Pumaren. The third placer was independent candidate Jessie Dignadice.
4th District edit
Incumbent Bong Suntay was running for reelection against former councilor Marvin Rillo. Rillo defeated Suntay in a close race with a 1.18% difference of 1,948 votes.
It was the only congressional race won by Lakas-CMD in Quezon City in this election. (The former lost its reelection bids in the first two districts, both at the hands of independent candidates.)
5th District edit
Alfred Vargas is on his third term as representative and is barred to seek reelection. Instead, he ran for councilor in the same district. His party nominated his brother, incumbent councilor PM Vargas.
PM Vargas won the seat against six other candidates, including the second placer, businesswoman Rose Lin; former 2nd District representative Mary Ann Susano; and four independent candidates. Lin was originally nominated by Lakas–CMD but she later resigned from the party on November 19, 2021 after her name was embroiled in the Pharmally Pharmaceutical scandal. (Her husband, Allan Lin Weixiong, was the financial manager of Pharmally.)[16]
6th District edit
Incumbent Jose Christopher "Kit" Belmonte, a Liberal Party member and a close relative of Mayor Joy Belmonte, is on his final term as representative and is barred to seek reelection.
Running for the vacant position were former representatives Bingbong Crisologo and Tricia Nicole Velasco-Catera of Ang Mata'y Alagaan (MATA) partylist, and incumbent councilor Marivic Co-Pilar, an ally of Joy Belmonte. Co-Pilar won the election after getting 60% of votes cast.
