Shanel Thomas-Henry held a narrow lead Tuesday night in the four-way Democratic primary for City Council District 21, according to preliminary results from the New York City Board of Elections.
With 95% of scanners reporting, Thomas-Henry had secured 30.9% of the vote, followed by Erycka Montoya with 25.3%, Yanna Henriquez with 22.98%, and David Aiken with 20.06%. The outcome of the race will ultimately depend on the city’s ranked-choice voting system, which could shift the lead once lower-placed candidates are eliminated and their ballots reallocated.
