Former Rep. Ronald V. Dellums has won the Oakland mayoral race, unofficial results show.
Dellums, 70, got 50.18% of the vote, barely securing the majority he needed to avoid a runoff election in November.
City Council President Ignacio De La Fuente, who took nearly 33% of the vote, called Dellums on Saturday to congratulate him on his victory and would not challenge the final count, a spokeswoman said.
