Lakas–CMD

On January 16, 2008, Lakas spokesman and legal counsel Raul Lambino stated that Lakas–CMD officially released the list of senatorial bets for 2010—spokesman in 2010. Except for Parañaque Representative Eduardo Zialcita, they were not yet identified. But Lambino named incumbent Senators Ramon Revilla, Jr. and Lito Lapid, former senator Ralph Recto and former Congressman Prospero Pichay as among those considered.[7]

Former Speaker of the House Jose de Venecia, Jr. (Pangasinan −4th District) resigned his post as president of Lakas–CMD on March 10, 2008; he rejected the proposition of former president Fidel Ramos to give him the title Chairman-emeritus. The current Speaker of the House Prospero Nograles (Davao −1st District) was sworn it as the new president of Lakas–CMD party and former Speaker of the house Feliciano Belmonte, Jr. as vice president for Metro Manila affairs on the same day.

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on June 18, 2008, confirmed the historical merger of the Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas–CMD) and the Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino (KAMPI) parties. Both parties adopted the "equity of the incumbent" principle, as the merger would account for almost 200 national and 8,000 local officials, amid Mrs. Arroyo's prediction of 2010 elections victory. Prospero Nograles, Lakas President and Kampi Chair Ronaldo Puno signed the covenant at the Davao City regional caucus.[8][9] Former President and Lakas–CMD Chairman Emeritus Fidel V. Ramos announced on February 6, 2008 that Lakas–CMD would be the surviving entity after its merger with KAMPI.[10]

On August 9, 2009, Former House Speaker Jose de Venecia, Jr. and Former President Fidel V. Ramos led fifty members from the Lakas Kampi CMD in objecting to its merger with Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino (KAMPI) on May 28, 2009. The faction made de Venecia its President with Ramos as the Chairman Emeritus of the new party, Ramos refused the offer of Chairman Emeritus of Lakas-Kampi after being named in interim party organization. De Venecia has filed a resolution at the Commission on Elections to declare null and void the merger.[11] However, the Supreme Court ultimately upheld the legality of the merger,[12] citing the failure of de Venecia "to sufficiently show that any grave abuse of discretion was committed by the Commission on Elections in rendering the challenged resolution."[13]

Since Benigno Aquino III was sworn in as President of the Philippines on June 30, 2010, the majority of the former legislative member of Lakas-Kampi were sworn as a members of the reborn Liberal Party. In 2011, the legislators led by Pablo P. Garcia established the neutral National Unity Party, which has many similarities with the Nationalist People's Coalition. In 2013, the party suffered its largest decline, due to the arrest of the party's matriarch, Gloria Arroyo; however the remaining party largely supports the United Nationalist Alliance, with candidates from among its former members such as Migz Zubiri, Richard Gordon and Mitos Magsaysay.

In the 2016 Presidential Elections, Lakas supports the candidacy of Rodrigo "Rody/Digong" Duterte and Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr. for President and Vice President respectively, which Duterte won and Marcos lost to Liberal Party candidate Ma. Leonora "Leni" Robredo. In July 2017, Revilla was sworn into Duterte's party PDP–Laban, and in October, Macapagal Arroyo and her allies, also joins PDP–Laban.

In September 2018 House Minority Leader and Quezon Rep. Danilo Suarez announced that Lakas–CMD is rebuilding and "will soon regain the political dominance it lost after Arroyo stepped down as president in 2010."[14]

In the 2019 election, Lakas made a comeback in the Senate, with the election of Bong Revilla. The party also won a dozen seats in the House of Representatives, and hundreds won in local races.
