Los Angeles City Council member Nithya Raman has moved into second place in the city's mayoral primary race, according to the latest vote tallies from the Associated Press.

Raman now leads Spencer Pratt by more than 3,000 votes in the contest to determine who will face incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in the November general election. The race remains officially uncalled as vote counting continues.

The shifting results highlight the competitive nature of the primary, with candidates vying for the opportunity to challenge Bass in what is expected to be a closely watched mayoral race.

Election officials are continuing to process and count remaining ballots, which could potentially affect the final outcome of the primary race. The margin between candidates may change as additional votes are tallied in the coming days.
