Indian-origin political leader Aftab Pureval has been re-elected as the city manager of Cincinnati. He won a decisive triumph against republican river challenger Cory Bowman, who is also the half-brother of US Vice chair JD Vance.
With Pureval’s victory, Democrats have also cemented the control of Cincinnati’s local government and added to Pureval’s growing profile in Ohio politics, Fox News reported.
Pureval defeated Bowman during the May open primary, winning over 80 per cent of the vote. As both men were the top two vote-getters in the primary, they proceeded to compete in the November general election, according to The Hill.
Bowman had never held public office, but he was inspired to run after his half-brother, JD Vance, took office, according to Fox News.
