Columbus Ward 4 special election heads to runoff

COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) – Columbus’ Ward 4 City Council seat will be empty just a little longer.

Kedgra Gray Gibbs and Pierre D. Beard Sr. came out on top of the crowded field of six candidates, but neither of them had the necessary majority to win outright.

The Ward 4 seat has been vacant since former Councilman Frederick Jackson resigned last month.

The run-off is scheduled for September 10.
