City council incumbents Choudhury and Al-Somiri led the election in first and second place, with Blasey running in third place. Coming in third place in the primaries is confirmation that Hamtramckans want me to serve them on city council,” Blasey told Arab News. Again, a huge thank you to everyone.”Hamtramck’s city council consists of six council members and the mayor. Council members vote on all issues, but the mayor can only vote on ordinances (laws) and, when the council members are equally divided, to break a tie. Three incumbent council members who are not facing election in the city council currently include Muhith Mahmood, Abu Musa and Khalil Refai.
