With Kraft withdrawn, Wu won 78,997 votes, 93% of ballots cast, and all four at-large city councillors kept their seats.

Wu and the Boston City Council took the oath at a packed Symphony Hall, where she vowed Boston would be a 'beacon' against a federal administration she said had 'plundered our economy'.

After a near-rejection, protests and arrests, councillors approved the $4.9 billion operating budget with $11.8 million of amendments, alongside a $4.4 billion five-year capital plan.

All 13 Boston City Council seats, nine district and four at-large, are up for their regular two-year election, the first test of the council after Wu's re-election.
