Andrew King provisionally elected Hamilton's new mayorAndrew King has been declared Hamilton's new mayor with a wafer-thin majority. Preliminary results released Sunday morning have King provisionally elected mayor with 8676 votes - only 14 votes ahead of nearest rival Paula Southgate. If confirmed mayor, King would focus on investing in infrastructure to allow more greenfield development on the city's fringes. If elected mayor, she would "put light under Hamilton's biggest priorities" and would work to strengthen the city's communities. Also elected in the city's west is Angela O'Leary, Dave Macpherson, Leo Tooman, Geoff Taylor and Siggi Henry.
