Los Angeles City Council member Nithya Raman has won the race for LA mayor, defeating incumbent Karen Bass, according to the Associated Press. The win hands the seat to a progressive Democrat who built her political career in city government rather than in the mayor's office.
Bass, the incumbent, loses the office she held going into the contest. Raman moves from the City Council into the top job at Los Angeles City Hall.
The outcome makes Raman the next mayor of the country's second-largest city. AP broke the news of the result.
Both figures are Democrats, but Raman ran as the progressive in the race and campaigned from the council side of city government.
Details of the margin and the timeline for the transition were not included in the initial report. More on the handover is expected as the city moves through the change in leadership.
