Drummond won the August 26th general election with 33.7% of the vote, but Cheriogotis turned the tables on Tuesday night, ascending to Mobile’s highest office with the backing of three-term incumbent Sandy Stimpson.

With 95% of precincts reporting, Cheriogotis holds a lead of 24,714 votes to 23,370 over Drummond, or 51.40% to 48.60%.

Although technical glitches at multiple polling locations caused voters to cast more provisional ballots than usual, the Cheriogotis campaign claimed victory.

“Thank you to everyone who is in this room,” Cheriogotis said.
