Independent Ross Kerridge leads Labor's Nuatali Nelmes by less than 1% in Newcastle's mayoral election, with final results pending.
In the closely contested Newcastle lord mayoral election, Independent Ross Kerridge leads Labor incumbent Nuatali Nelmes by less than one percent, with final results pending until Monday. The Greens' Charlotte McCabe is in third place. Nelmes may win but could lack majority support from Labor councillors. The Greens are expected to secure representation in multiple wards. Regardless of the outcome, Nelmes anticipates a "progressive council" in Newcastle.
