Incumbent senator Butz Aquino of Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino was elected representative of the newly created Makati's 2nd congressional district, defeating Augusto "Boboy" L.

Yabut Jr. of the Nationalist People's Coalition (Vice Mayor Arturo "Toro" Yabut's brother), former police colonel Billy Bibit, and independent candidate Ramon Delloro.
However, the Commission on Elections annulled Aquino's proclamation, citing lack of residency requirements. This decision was affirmed by the Supreme Court on September 18, 1995, thereby cancelling Aquino's election. The said decision also prevented COMELEC from proclaiming the second-highest placer, Augusto Syjuco, as the duly-elected representative of the second district.Aquino v. COMELEC, G.R.
