Doyle to be returned as Lord Mayor for second term

Robert Doyle is expected to be re-elected as Lord Mayor for a second term. Scrutineers are reporting that Team Doyle is polling 40% with the Greens a distant second on on 16%. Gary Singer John So's ticket has failed to attract significant support. The outcome of election is in line with earlier estimates. It is still unclear is the Team Doyle vote is holding in the Council C9 election. If Team Doyle polls over 40% then they will hold an absolute majority of votes in the Council Chamber.
