Nithya Raman elected Los Angeles mayor, defeating incumbent Karen Bass

Moneycontrol. com reported that Nithya Raman was elected mayor of Los Angeles on November 5, 2026, securing 51. 1% of the vote and becoming the city’s first Asian-American mayor and second woman to hold the office. The election, held on October 28, 2026, was marked by a tight race.

Earlier, ABC7 noted that former candidate Rick Caruso announced he would vote for incumbent Karen Bass, while the Los Angeles Times cited a UC-Berkeley poll showing both candidates at 40% support. The Guardian described Bass’s campaign as facing a strong challenge from Raman on affordability issues. Initial returns reported by the Los Angeles Times showed Bass ahead by a narrow margin, but later counts of mail-in ballots gave Raman a slim lead, which the same outlet said experts expected to hold.
