CBC News projects Mike Savage is headed back to city hall as the mayor of Halifax Regional Municipality. The result means Whitman, the councillor for District 13 since 2012, will no longer have a seat around the table at city hall. Savage told CBC News he was humbled and encouraged by the win in what was "a weird election" due to constraints related to COVID-19. CBC News is also projecting District 5 will once again be represented by Sam Austin and that Tony Mancini will again represent District 6. CBC News is projecting Becky Kent, the former New Democrat MLA, will be the new representative for Dartmouth South-Eastern Passage.
