Nithya Raman will advance to the general election against incumbent Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, beating out reality TV star Spencer Pratt after nearly a week of vote counting.
Raman, a Los Angeles City Council member, held a lead of about 22,000 votes on Monday night over Pratt, according to The Associated Press, with roughly 93% of the votes counted.
“I’m incredibly honored that voters have given us the opportunity to advance to the general election for Mayor of Los Angeles,” Raman wrote in a statement issued shortly after the primary was called.
