Mayor Michelle Wu took 71.9% to Josh Kraft's 23.1% and won every ward; both advanced to November, but the 49-point margin ended Kraft's run two days later.

Two days after losing the preliminary by 49 points, Josh Kraft suspended his campaign, the first Boston mayoral finalist to quit since preliminaries began in 1951, leaving Wu effectively unopposed.

With Kraft withdrawn, Wu won 78,997 votes, 93% of ballots cast, and all four at-large city councillors kept their seats.

In the 2 June 2026 primary Mayor Karen Bass led with 34.3% and Councilmember Nithya Raman overtook Spencer Pratt for second as late ballots were counted, setting up a November runoff between two Democrats.

Mayor Karen Bass faces Councilmember Nithya Raman in the 3 November 2026 general municipal election, the first all-Democrat runoff for LA mayor after Raman edged out Spencer Pratt in June; the winner starts a four-year term on 14 December.
