Like all local government heads in the Philippines, the governor is elected via popular vote, and may not be elected for a fourth consecutive term (although the former governor may return to office after an interval of one term). In case of death, resignation or incapacity, the vice governor becomes the governor.
The current governor is Noel E. Rosal, who was re-elected governor in the May 12, 2025 Midterm elections.
