by Kevin Sims Former city councilman Yusuf Hakeem is back on the job after winning a decision by the Hamilton County Election Commission Wednesday morning. Hakeem and current District 9 council member Peter Murphy were in a dispute over write-in ballots after the March 5th election. Hakeem won that race between the two men by six votes but because of write-in ballots he did not have the 50% plus one vote needed to win. The decision by the election commission this morning gives Hakeem the win. NewsChannel 9 has a crew at the Election Commission and is talking to both men to see if the race is now headed to court.. Check back for updates on the decision.
