City Council member Raman led Bass by 4.2 percentage points in Thursday morning’s tally, with thousands of ballots still to be counted.
Nithya Raman will be Los Angeles’s next mayor after incumbent Karen Bass conceded defeat and said she had called Raman to congratulate her. Bass has served as mayor since 2022.
In a statement published by Variety, Bass committed to a smooth transition:
I have called Councilmember Nithya Raman to congratulate her on her victory, and I have committed to ensuring a smooth and seamless transition.
Bass led in Tuesday night’s early tallies, before Raman moved ahead early Wednesday. Thursday morning’s county tally had counted 72% of the expected vote; Raman led Bass by 4.2 percentage points, with many thousands of ballots still to count, so the margin was not final.
| Candidate | Votes | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Nithya Raman | 429,450 | 52.1% |
| Karen Bass | 394,796 | 47.9% |
Raman joined the Los Angeles City Council in 2020 and was reelected in 2024. County election officials had scheduled another ballot-count update for 6 November.
