Officials in Oakland are providing a new timeline of the steps they will take to replace recalled Mayor Sheng Thao.
While the results of the November election have yet to be certified, Thao conceded in the recall a few days after the election.While the Oakland city council president would usually take over as acting mayor in this type of scenario, current City Council President Nikki Fortunato Bas has been elected to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors.On Wednesday, Bas announced that the Alameda County Registrar of Voters was expected to certify the election results Thursday.
Bas would still serve as interim mayor until she takes office as a new Alameda County supervisor in January.Bas said she believes Oakland should consolidate the elections for the council seat and the mayor's office in April to save money.Thao was elected mayor in November 2022 and became the first Hmong American to lead a major city. She faced criticism almost immediately after taking office for firing popular Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong.
