Following a tumultuous legal battle, former City Councilmember Andy King is officially out of the running to reclaim his Council District 12 seat.

King’s election attorney Ali Najmi confirmed in a statement to the Bronx Times Friday that King would not seek to appeal an appellate court’s decision, earlier this week, to remove him from the ballot in the race for the northeast Bronx seat.
