Fremont Council Election: Campbell, Kimberlin and Li Lead Three District Counts

FREMONT, California — November 4, 2026. The first reported election returns show different contests developing across Fremont’s City Council districts. These are unofficial figures, not certified outcomes.

District 2

Desrie Campbell received 3,736 votes (70.2%), compared with 1,585 (29.7%) for Keith Parker, according to the Alameda County election returns displayed by KQED in its 12:59 a.m. Pacific update.

District 3

Kathy Kimberlin led with 3,118 votes (71.9%). Vipin Sharma had 1,218 (28.0%) in the same reporting snapshot.

District 4

The District 4 count was less concentrated: Ying Min Li led the reported field with 2,333 votes (44.2%), followed by Aziz Akbari at 1,724 (32.7%) and Manisha Pathak at 1,050 (19.9%). Those are the three leading reported totals, not a complete certified candidate list.

Why these numbers matter

Fremont residents vote in district-specific council races, so a citywide percentage is not interchangeable with the results in an individual district. Further ballots may alter the margins. The Alameda County Registrar of Voters is responsible for canvassing and certifying county election results; early news tallies should not be treated as final.
