Nick Reece claims victory in race for Melbourne Lord Mayor

·

Nick Reece has been elected as the City of Melbourne’s new Lord Mayor, having run alongside incumbent councillor Roshena Campbell on a shared ticket.

The final results of the election, including the outcome for nine additional councillor positions, were officially confirmed on Thursday, November 7, following the completion of the computerised vote count by the Victorian Electoral Commission at Drill Hall, located near the Queen Victoria Market.

The counting process followed the closure of postal votes on October 25, nearly two weeks ago. It was during this period that former Carlton footballer Anthony Koutoufides initially appeared to be in contention, but ultimately, Reece managed to secure a lead as the preferences were counted.

The final stage of the preference flow saw Reece face off against Roxane Ingleton in a head-to-head battle for the position. Liberal candidate Mariam Riza placed third, while Koutoufides, despite his strong campaign, finished in fourth.
