Cherelle Parker Projected Winner In Philly Mayor Democratic Primary

Last updated at 11:50 a.m. Wednesday

PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia's newest mayor will likely be Cherelle Parker if political history repeats itself, as she's been projected the winner of the Democratic mayoral primary race.

In Philadelphia, the Democratic primary for the mayor is often a de facto race for the mayor's office in general, as the city is a Democratic stronghold.

Parker will face Republican David Oh in the General Election.

Parker fended off opponents in a crowded field that polling showed several candidates in a dead heat leading up to Tuesday.

With an increase in voting by mail, official results likely won't be available for a few days.

Below are local results for Philadelphia:
