A contentious campaign in Côte Saint-Luc has ended with the re-election of Mayor Mitchell Brownstein.
Brownstein won with around 62 per cent of the vote while his opponent, David Tordjman, finished with just under 38 per cent.
Lior Azerad, of Team Tordjman, won the council seat in District 6, beating the other candidate, Jeffrey Kovac. A recording of Kovac attacking Tordjman surfaced in early October, but Kovac later apologized.
Azerad was the only candidate from Team Tordjman who won his district.
Andee Shuster won District 8, getting twice the number of votes as the other two candidates combined.
