The Murang Kuryente Partylist (MKP; lit. 'Cheap Electricity Partylist') is a consumer organization with party-list representation in the House of Representatives of the Philippines. It professes to represent the interest of electricity consumers.
The Murang Kuryente Partylist took part in the 2019 election.[1] It failed to win a single seat. It also participated at the 2025 election, initially failing to win a seat again.[2]
On October 2, 2025, Arthur C. Yap took the oath as MKP representative. This was to fill one of the three seats originally won by disqualified group Duterte Youth.[3][4]
Political stances
The MKP positions itself as a partylist organization for electricity consumers. It claims to represent this demographic rather than power companies.[5][1] It has pledged to bring affordable electricity fees to consumers and the wider adoption of renewable energy.[2][6]
The MKP has challenged Meralco to phase-out coal power.[6] It opposed the bid of Philippine Rural Electric Cooperatives Association to make the Energy Regulatory Commission formulate a plan which would pass on real property taxes to electric consumers.[7]
