Akron voters have spoken, and Shammas Malik is projected to move forward on the ballot to the general election on the road to mayor, according to unofficial Summit County election results.
Malik, a Democrat, won’t face any opposition in November from Republicans, and unless a write-in candidate files by Aug. 28, he will be the sole option for mayor on the general election ballot. He received 43% of the vote in the primary election Tuesday, with 100% of precincts reporting, according to Summit County Board of Elections data.
When the next mayor takes office, they will have replaced Dan Horrigan, who has served as mayor since first swearing-in on Jan. 1, 2016. He was re-elected in 2020 but chose not to seek a third term.
