Lakas–Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas–CMD), also known simply as Lakas, and previously known as Lakas–Kampi until 2011, is a political party in the Philippines. Since the 2022 elections, Lakas–CMD is currently the biggest party in the House of Representatives. The party also was a dominant member of the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas during the 2025 Philippine general election. Lakas–CMD has produced one president, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, and one vice president, Sara Duterte. The political party was founded in 2008 after the original Lakas–CMD merged with the Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino (KAMPI), forming Lakas–Kampi–CMD. The party later reverted to its original name and removed KAMPI after many of its members defected to the National Unity Party (NUP). After the 2010 elections, the party was split into both the majority and minority blocs. By 2013, Lakas supported most candidates of the opposition coalition United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) in the 2013 Senate election, although the party was still split. After the 2016 elections, the party joined the majority bloc led by PDP–Laban. In the 2019 elections, the party joined the Hugpong ng Pagbabago alliance. After the 2022 elections, Lakas won the vice presidency and replaced PDP–Laban as the largest party in Congress, leading the majority bloc.
