MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Pearll Warren has won the race for the open Ward 5 seat on the Minneapolis City Council after ranked-choice votes were counted on Wednesday.

What we know:

After round one, Warren led Ethrophic Burnett by 471 votes, 1,888 to 1,417. Miles G Wilson followed in third place with 715 votes and Anndrea Young held the fourth spot with 586 votes.

The Ward 5 seat is being left vacant by Jeremiah Ellison, who opted not to run for re-election after accepting a fellowship from Harvard .
