Voters appeared to oust Mayor Joe Macon and replaced him with critic Earnestine Pittman, a council member who resigned her seat to take on the one-term incumbent.
Pittman received some 57 percent of the 2,876 votes cast in the special election. By 8:35 p.m., 11 of 12 precincts had been counted.
Pittman, an educator, said on her campaign Website: "I will be the City’s chief Ambassador."
In the Ward A race, challenger Sharonda Hubbard was favored by voters when she earned some 60 percent of the 2,746 votes. She appeared to defeat the incumbent Greg Fann.
The results are "unofficial and incomplete" from Fulton County.
