Four seats on the Hialeah Council were up for grabs Tuesday, and two will soon be filled as races for two others head to Dec. 9 runoffs.

With 44 of 45 precincts reporting, Council member Melinda De La Vega won the race for the panel’s Group 6 seat with 60.5% of the vote, while Luis Rodriguez won re-election to the Group 7 seat with a 57% share of ballots cast.

They beat Council member Juan Junco and lawyer Abdel Jimenez , respectively.

The more crowded Group 3 and Group 4 contests remain undecided, as no candidate in either scored more than 50% of the vote to win outright.

In Group 3, Gelien Perez and Jessica Castillo performed best with 40.5% and 36% shares of the vote, respectively. They’ll leave behind candidate Kassandara Montandon as they compete in a runoff.
