Ponce ran for mayor in 2001 but lost to Rosendo Capco, the son of then-mayor Jose "Pepe" Capco, Jr., he ran again for a second attempt in 2013 under the Liberal Party but lost again, this time to reelectionist Joey Medina.[1]

In 2016, with incumbent vice mayor Gerald German as his running mate, he finally won the election.[2][3][4] In 2019, he run for his second term with German again as his running mate, and they won again.[5][6]

In 2022, while running for a third-term, he tapped John Peter Marzan as his running mate, as German was now term-limited. He also supported the presidential run of another metro Mayor Isko Moreno.[7] Ponce got his third and final term as mayor,[8] as he overwhelmingly defeated his opponent, Marilyn Chiong.[9] He won in a landslide election to Chiong with a margin of 25,757 votes.[10]
