Alto, who has served as a councillor for 12 years, had captured nearly 55 per cent of the vote two hours after the polls closed
The council will be almost entirely new, but in the end, Victoria residents went for experience in picking Marianne Alto to step into the mayor’s role held by Lisa Helps for the last two terms.Her closest rival among the eight mayoral candidates, fellow Coun. Stephen Andrew, was second with 36 per cent of the vote.
Alto said the key is to remember council’s job is to work for the people of Victoria. “Our responsibility is to the collective,” she said.In a speech to supporters, Andrew wished Alto luck, urging her to ensure the citizens of Victoria are at the centre of decision making. With 30 of 48 polls reporting by just after 10 p.m., the eight councillors elected appeared to be Jeremy Caradonna, Matt Dell, Susan Kim, Krista Loughton, Chris Coleman, Dave Thompson, Stephen Hammond and Marg Gardiner. Though there were some polling stations yet to report, Coun. Ben Isitt appeared not to be on the new council.
She also wanted to carry on the work done by the previous council on reconciliation, housing and infrastructure.
